AbiWord

Free, cross-platform word processor

AbiWord is a free word processing program licensed under the GNU General Public License that runs on platforms including Windows, Linux, macOS and SkyOS – with default installations on Xubuntu and Debian distros as standard.

AbiWord derives its name from Spanish “Abierto,” or open. AbiWord began as a product developed and supported by SourceGear; over time however it became independently supported and developed by an unpaid volunteer team.

First published publicly on April 18th 2002 without tables support, it garnered many critical remarks from users and was therefore suspended after its first version had become publicly available on September 13th 2003. These tables were later reinstated in version two released mid September 2003.

AbiWord Features:

AbiWord’s program code is built around components from the GTK + library. According to its developers, AbiWord can be installed under Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris QNX as well as other operating systems – its official site provides links for downloading Windows builds as well as macOS Linux builds with source code download links available as well.

AbiWord download free for pc weighs in at approximately 8 megabytes when installed onto Windows (excluding dictionary and extension files) while Linux weighs roughly 3.5 megabytes. AbiWord is currently being translated into multiple languages – Russian among them!
