Is editing with abiword a realistic option, independently of the problem of reading microsoft docs files ? I mean, even with a usb keyboard I would have thought the redisplay while editing would have been too slow to properly edit the text. Or are you only invalidating small parts of the screen with your port, and is that enough ? What are the options to refresh the screen, programmatically ? (I am waiting for my iliad to arrive, but one of the thing I'm planning to do is to port gnustep on it)
