AbiWord
2.9.2 Beta
|
AbiWord is a free and open source software word processor. The name
"AbiWord" (pronounced [æbiː], like the name, "Abby" +
[wərd]) is derived from the root of the Spanish word "abierto",
meaning "open". AbiWord is a free word processing program
similar to Microsoft® Word. It is suitable for a wide variety of word
processing tasks. Abiword was originally started by SourceGear Corporation
as the first part of a proposed AbiSuite but was adopted by open source developers
after SourceGear changed its business focus and ceased development. It now runs
on Linux, Microsoft Windows, ReactOS, Solaris, AmigaOS 4.0 (through its Cygnix
X11 engine), MeeGo (on the Nokia N9 smartphone), and other operating systems.
