Abi Word 2.4.6 Review      

February 7th, 2008

If you have a wallet that is not too heavy and you want to use a word processor, consider AbiWord. This word processor is available as a free download with no limitations. It requires Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. Although it is not too feature rich, it has all the features you would normally require in a word processor.

The interface will be familiar to users of other word processors. It has a spell checker, interactive rulers and tabs, find and replace, unlimited undo/redo, paragraph alignment, character formatting and the other features that are necessary to prepare a professional document. MS Word 97 as well as Rich Text Format are supported. In addition Newspaper style columns, widow/orphan control, superscript/subscript are supported.

The AbiWord wordprocessor can be learnt quick because of the similarity between it and other word processors. There is no grammar check in it however. The spell check works for many foriegn languages in addition to English. There is a proprietary format that this program saves files in, in addition to MS word. If you want a word processing program completely free, then this one is probably the best one on the market.
