AbiWord is a free
word processing program under the
GPL which runs on
Linux,
MacOS,
Microsoft Windows, and other
operating systems. There is basic formatting as well with styles but no table support at the moment. It has a wealth of import/export formats like
RTF,
HTML and
LaTeX. The native file
file format is
XML, so documents written with the program are a safe investment from the point of view of digital archiving.
The latest release of Abiword contains a Wikipedia plugin to lookup an encylopedic reference.
