		AbiWord was originally started by SourceGear Corporation as the first component of AbiSuite, as an ambitious plan to create a full Office Suite that would be free software / open source software.
		AbiWord is part of GNOME Office, a collection of office applications with some degree of integration.

	LinuxDevCenter.com -- AbiWord: Open Source's Answer to Microsoft Word
		Although the AbiWord development team is currently working towards their milestone Version 1.0, the beta releases already come with a number of useful features: support for plug-ins and scripts, a spell checker, 2- and 3-column text formatting, and image importing.
		AbiWord began in early 1998 as the first project of a software contracting firm, SourceGear Corporation, which was shifting its focus to work on open source projects under a new company name, AbiSource.
		AbiSource was very enthusiastic about AbiWord initially, but after their IPO dreams failed to materialize, the company lost interest in the project and went back to the SourceGear name.

	AbiWord's Potential LG #43
		AbiWord can also save in the HTML and RTF formats, both of which are accessible with word processors such as MS-Word and WordPerfect.
		AbiWord comes with its own dictionary, but there doesn't yet seem to be a way to spell-check a document.
		In its current state AbiWord is useful for writing short, simply formatted documents, but lack of paragraph and document formatting templates, as well as the lack of functional image insertion, limit its scope.

	Review: AbiWord
		AbiWord uses its own file format for documents it creates, but is quite happy working with Word files if you prefer.
		AbiWord lets you insert graphics into a document, but the types of graphics it recognizes are very limited.
		AbiWord has a menu choice for a tutorial, but if you click on it, it displays a message saying the tutorial is not yet ready.

	NewsForge \| FOSS word processors compared: OOo Writer, AbiWord, and KWord
		AbiWord, for instance, treats superscripts and subscripts as font attributes for manual formatting and does not include them among character style options.
		AbiWord has a floating window called the Stylist -- the old name for the Styles and Formatting window in Writer -- as well as a tool like Writer's for importing styles from another document, and a drop-down list on the first view of each style window for removing individual features without opening another window.
		AbiWord's support of objects is basic, and remains one of its weakest points.

	Stoking the AbiWord Fire \| Linux Journal
		AbiWord is okay, but so are most of the other Linux wordprocessor applications.
		In fact, it is not such a big thing that XML is the native language of this wordprocessor, all current versions of wordprocessors should have at least some support for XML if they are to be worth consideration at all.
		AbiWord may have a place for some people, but right now I do not think it will be center stage.

	Salon.com Technology \| AbiWord up
		The community of software developers who hang out on the IRC chat channel #abiword is small; the number of nicknames registered as present rarely breaks two dozen.
		#abiword is a friendly, casual watering hole, a place to gossip about upcoming exams or the perils of Microsoft Word-formatted job applications.
		That AbiWord even exists, much less that it is thriving through the steady contributions of this band of programmers, is one of the delightful mysteries of the free-software world.

	Word processing for everyone? - Gary Krakow - MSNBC.com
		This is how AbiWord looks in Windows, with the spell checker in use and a graph inserted into the middle of the text.
		AbiWord is available for Windows (Win32 for Win95 or later); Linux (Debian and RPM installs); UNIX (Source installation for Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, etc.); FreeBSD; MacOS X (XDarwin); BeOS (Intel and PowerPC) and QNX Neutrino for Intel-compatible processors.
		If you are constantly creating hyperlinks or adding tables and indexes then AbiWord could be for you, but you might be happier with a bigger, feature-laden program like Corel or MS Word.

	NewsForge \| AbiWord: 1.0 release fixes major reasons not to use it
		When the AbiWord team announced the official release of 1.0 this week, I figured it was high time to give AbiWord another try.
		Immediately after installing AbiWord 1.0.1, I noticed a working spell-checker, which was absent in the 0.9.2 version that came with Mandrake 8.1.
		Abiword is a nice looking wordprocessor and I appreciate all the effort the Abiword team has put out to get a polished 1.0 out.

	LWN: Command-line AbiWord
		For those of you who thought that AbiWord was just a graphical application: AbiWord hacker Martin Sevior has posted a guide to AbiWord's server mode, which includes a command interface.
		abiword can be run as a pure command-line program, the good old unix way.
		This also means that Abiword doesn't have a direct D-BUS dependency, and keeping dependencies down seems to be something Abiword developers like to do.

		Notify me when AbiWord is updated on VersionTracker.
		AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft Word.
		The type-setting makes AbiWord completely unusable for me. In a previous version, letter spacing was terrible on printouts, and in this version, it's also bad on screen.

		AbiWord, for good or ill, has clearly positioned itself in terms of functionality against the Microsoft Word product.
		If you don't wait for the hoary details, the short answer is: it will not be a poor imitation at all, once it a full 1.0 release is made.

	Planet AbiSource
		Since AbiWord was supposed to be cross-platform, it was decided of a limited set of C++ features allowed to be used: no template, no exceptions, no multiple inheritence.
		I personally like the AbiWord model: internally strings are identified by numerical id’s; only one set of strings is built into the software (en_US), and localised strings for a given locale are read from an external file, falling back on the internal stringset.
		One of the "selling point" of AbiWord was that it was multiplatform, and unlike OpenOffice, it was using the native toolkit of each platform, ie Win32 on Windows, Gtk+ on UNIX and Cocoa on MacOS X. But this advantage is in fact being a real constrain, slowing us down in our developments.

		An attacker could design a malicious RTF file and entice the user to import it in AbiWord, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running AbiWord.
