I’m afraid I don’t understand the question about website recognition during registration. However, if AbiWord documents aren’t recognized, there are several methods to convert documents to PDF, which are recognized nearly everywhere. Please look for the WorldStart article titled, A PDF Refresher, for some suggestions.

As for the formatting issues, my experience with opening word processor documents between programs nearly always leads to some formatting problems. On the other hand, for a free, flexible, and lightweight program, it’s hard to beat AbiWord.

The lack of a decent grammar check was one of the few problems I found with AbiWord. Again, I thought that the cost of this software more than compensated for this minor inconvenience.

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for your writeup on Abi Word Processor.

However, I want you to clarify the issues highlighted here. Whenever, I use Open Office or Abi, I find their docs are not recognised by certain sites during registration – even when I’ve saved the dcoument in the prescribed .doc format. Further, when the doc from the MS Word is opened in them, the formatting is also changed (especailly, the bullets). Have these issues been solved?

And, what about the performance of Grammar check in these processors? Is it the same as that of the Word (Uha..!) or better?
