One of the most frustrating aspects of computing really should be one of the simplest. Where can a guy find simple, free word processing software? Either word processors are too expensive or software is incompatible with other versions. Enter AbiWord which may change all that.
I use NoteTabLite for most of my wordsmithing but word processors are more difficult since they don't always play nicely with each other. AbiWord seems to do the trick for most common uses.
For the most straightforward word processing tasks such as manipulating images AbiWord is the freebie to use. The GUI is simple and uncomplicated. It does have enough features to do more complicated tasks, without making word processing terribly complicated. I generally need a few things such as adding page numbers, date and time, and this tool includes these additional features.
The free program requires a Windows 2000 or Windows XP OS.
