Abiword

I've got AbiWord working on my iLiad! I can write, type, save, and open.

Quote:
AbiWord 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.

However, opening word documents is a bit of a problem (see second screenshot). Also, before it will run, changes will need to be made to the root file system. (see this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=11)

However, with a bit more work and bug squashing, we should have a full featured document creator/viewer.
