AbiWord is a word processor that is able to read and write all industry standard document types, such as OpenOffice.org documents, Microsoft Word documents, WordPerfect documents, Rich Text Format documents, HTML web pages, and many more. AbiWord supports right-to-left, left-to-right, and mixed-mode text. This means that, in addition to supporting European languages, AbiWord supports languages like Hebrew and Arabic as well. The program has a built-in spell-checker (AbiWord comes with an English-language spell-checker, but additional dictionaries, for 30+ languages, are available from the developers web page). A variety of plugins can be used to extend AbiWord's functionality, ranging from Document Importers to a Thesaurus, Image Importers and a Text Summarizer.
