"Fine if you only write short, simple documents"
Version: AbiWord Portable 2.8.6
Pros
Compact, fast, no learning curve for one who has used any word processing program.
Cons
Can't handle Word files of any complexity, with tables or graphics or moderately involved formatting (the formatting is just lost when you import the file, and the graphics can't be seen).
Summary
If you want a decent word processor for writing simple documents with minimal disk or memory requirements, this is perfect. I tried to use it, with some urgency, to edit complex Word files after Word quit working under 64-bit Windows 7 on my new laptop. That was a complete failure. If you just write text, this would be great. If you have to deal with tables and more, imported from Word, go elsewhere.

"A great free portable word processor"
Version: AbiWord Portable 2.8.6
Pros
Very comfortable interface. Easy to use on a USB stick in multiple computers.
Cons
It is a work in progress so occasionally bugs have been known to appear. Help menu is not fully developed.
Summary
If you have used nearly any other word processor software in a Windows environment you will find AbiWord Portable easy to use. It can save files in a large number of different formats including LaTex and Open Office which is very nice. Opening and saving documents in the MS Word .docx extension has not been a problem. Like a "full strength" word processing program AbiWord portable provides for revision marking and collaboration. A handy thing for progam on a USB flash drive. One feature I wilsh it had was the ability to format envelopes, otherwise you can't go wrong with AbiWord portable.
