AbiWord

When we talk about text processors, a lot of people think directly with Microsoft Word. However, there are a lot of people who do not take into account that this app can be quite expensive if it does not come as default in your computer. If your case is one in which your computer does not include a text processor, try AbiWord.

This program can read and write standard documents in different formats. Also, it deals with the documents from OpenOffice or the ones from Microsoft Word. It can also open documents in WordPerfect, Rich Text or HTML pages.

The truth is that Microsoft Word is a really good text processor and it is possible that AbiWord's is not as effective as it but even so it has a lot of useful factors as a text program, as the fact that it allows top work with a lot of different formats or that it is very simple to use and there is no need for instructions. Besides, it includes basic characters that are also present in Microsoft Word as the structures of the texts in bold, the italic, etc., or the advanced characters of text like subscript and exponent, etc.    

It also has the possibility to distribute the text in columns, align the paragraphs and it has the option to do/undo, search and replace, etc.
