AbiWord Free Word Processing Program
http://www.abisource.com/

AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft® Word. It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, and so forth. AbiWord has been created by a worldwide group of volunteers and currently supports many languages and operating systems. AbiWord is GNU Free Software software, which means that you will always have the freedom to use it, make copies of it, and improve it. You are
encouraged to make use of these freedoms and share the program with your family and friends! Like most Open Source projects, AbiWord started as a cathedral, but has become more like a bazaar. 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. AbiWord is unique among word processors in its drive to become a fully cross-platform word processor. Our source code is carefully written so that AbiWord will run on virtually any operating system with a minimum of time spent on porting. This combined with our support for internationalization (the ability to run AbiWord in many languages) gives AbiWord a massive potential user-base. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
