Features ĪbiWord supports both basic word processing features such as lists, indents and character formats, and more sophisticated features including tables, styles, page headers and footers, footnotes, templates, multiple views, page columns, spell checking, and grammar checking. Abiword is one of the rare text processing software which allows local users to edit simultaneously a same shared document in a local network, without the requirement of an Internet connection, since 2009. The macOS port has remained on version 2.4 since 2005, although the current version does run non-natively on macOS through XQuartz.ĪbiWord is part of the AbiSource project which develops a number of office-related technologies. Development of a version for Microsoft Windows has ended due to lack of maintainers (the latest released versions are 2.8.6 and 2.9.4 beta ). It now runs on Linux, ReactOS, Solaris, AmigaOS 4.0 (through its Cygwin X11 engine), MeeGo (on the Nokia N9 smartphone), Maemo (on the Nokia N810), QNX and other operating systems. ĪbiWord 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. The name "AbiWord" is derived from the root of the Spanish word " abierto", meaning "open". It is written in C++ and since version 3 it is based on GTK+ 3.
AbiWord ( / ˈ æ b i w ɜːr d/) is a free and open-source software word processor.
