CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This free, open-source word-processor strikes us as a worthy alternative to pricey, big-name products. AbiWord's interface is very similar to programs such as Word and WordPerfect, so the learning curve is quick. You'll find just about all the customary features you'd expect, including cut-and-paste, highlighting, and a bevy of common formatting tools. Although we did miss a grammar-checking utility, the program can check your spelling in many languages, though you'll need to choose the appropriate foreign language dictionaries during installation. A huge point in the program's favor is it can open and save Microsoft Word documents, though it also has its own proprietary file format. AbiWord should appeal to a wide range of users who seek a functional word-processing app, but lack a large bank account.

Publisher's description

From AbiSource :

AbiWord is a lean yet full-featured word processor. It features a familiar-looking interface (see screen shot), basic character formatting, paragraph alignment, a spelling checker, interactive rulers and tables, styles, unlimited undo/redo capabilities, find and replace, and image support. It can also import Microsoft Word 97 and RTF (Rich Text Format) documents. The updated version has support for superscript/subscript and ruler toggling. This updated release contains true WYSIWYG printing fixes, overline support, and an insert date/time dialog.

Note: This is a beta version and may not be entirely stable.
