Open Source Software Abiword: STID 1103

AbiWord is an open source word processor that is freely distributable without concerns of piracy or legal obligations for payment. It is similar to Microsoft Word but lacks some advanced formatting functions. AbiWord files can be read with any text editor and use Extensible Markup Language to ensure documents remain readable over time. While it has disadvantages like lacking grammar checking and a limited selection of formatting options, it supports multiple languages and provides a free alternative to proprietary word processors.
