Fortunately, there are enough free alternatives. Microsoft Word is a part of the software package Microsoft Office that is very expensive to purchase. ![]() So while Abiword has the perfect environment for the kind of writing I do (moreso than any other word processor for linux), given all its bugs I'm just not sure if I can trust it with my files.Microsoft Word is the most widely used word-processing software of this time. There are also some interface issues - for instance, a lot of drop down lists are missing scrollbars, such as the font selector, which makes it really annoying to change fonts. That’s only happened to me once, and I haven’t been able to reproduce it. Even the word wrap acts funny - it left the first leffer of a word hanging on the end of the previous line until it suddenly realised it had to reformat halfway through the next line. But then LibreOffice was weirdly able to read it, although there was an unexplained box around the text.
