AbiWord is a free word processor program similar to Microsoft Word. It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, and so forth. It is lighter weight - in terms of system resources - than the more popular OpenOffice, and has many extensions. It is also available for Windows.
AbiWord is part of a larger project known as AbiSource, which was started by the SourceGear Corporation. The goal of the project was the development of a cross-platform, open source office suite beginning with AbiWord, the project's word processor. SourceGear released the source code to AbiWord and a developer community quickly formed around the project. SourceGear has since then stopped work on the project.
