AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft® Word. AbiWord is able to read and write all industry standard document types, such as OpenOffice.org documents, Microsoft Word documents, WordPerfect documents, Rich Text Format documents, HTML web pages and many more.

Give your document that professional, scientific or fun-to-read look using AbiWord's advanced document layout options. Use tables, bullets, lists, images, footnotes, endnotes and styles to enhance the way your document looks.

A variety of plugins can be used to extend AbiWord's functionality, ranging from Document Importers to a Thesaurus, Image Importers and a Text Summarizer and a Dictionary with over 30 languages.

Author's Note: please aware that the font rendering is still a work-in-progress. Depending on the fonts used the quality of the rendering may be sub-optimal. We hope to address this issue as soon as possible, but since AbiWord is a 100% volunteer effort, we don't give any timeframe. Help is always appreciated though.
