файлов. В дистрибутив входят средства для проверки.Основные

В целом, AbiWord уступает по возможностям Microsoft Word или
OpenOffice.org Writer, однако существенно превосходит простые редакторы,
вроде WordPad для Windows или gedit для UNIX-подобных ОС.
Функциональность редактора может быть частично расширена путём
подключения плагинов, которые доступны на сайте разработчиков.
AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft Word.
It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, etc. It is
designed to integrate perfectly with the operating system it runs on. It
will take advantage of the functionality provided by the system, such
as image loading or printing capabilities.
AbiWord is rapidly becoming a state of the art Word Processor, with lots
of features useful for your daily work, personal needs, or for just
some good old typing fun. This tour gives you a quick look into some of
AbiWord's highlights. AbiWord has been designed to integrate perfectly
with the operating system it runs on. It will take advantage of the
functionality provided by the system, such as image loading or printing
capabilities. Give your document that professional, scientific or
fun-to-read look using AbiWord's advanced document layout options. Use
tables, bullets, lists, images, footnotes, endnotes and styles to
enhance the way your document looks.
AbiWord is unique among word processors in its drive to become a
fully cross-platform word processor. Our source code is carefully
written so that AbiWord will run on virtually any operating system with a
minimum of time spent on porting. This combined with our support for
internationalization (the ability to run AbiWord in many languages)
gives AbiWord a massive potential user-base. Currently we run on most
UNIX systems, Windows 95 and later, QNX Neutrino 6.2. We also have a
MacOS X native port in the way (you can still use the UNIX version on
MacOS X if you want).
The installer includes the following extra functionality ("plugins"):
— Grammar checking (only English supported at the moment)
— Support for entering formulas and equations
— Wordperfect file import
— OpenDocument file import (the OpenOffice.org 2 format)
— Gnumeric charts support (experimental, only works with recent GNOME)
