Abiword is a simple to use word processor which works with Ubuntu Linux 10.10. It is also available for Windows. It has most of the functions you need in a word processor like a spell checker, grammar checker, insert table, insert picture print, save, bold, indent, underline, high light, print, print preview, cut, paste, copy, insert tables, bullet points , number points, font color, and more.

It can also convert files to doc, and open doc files. However, when I used Abiword in Windows, it seem to sometimes not convert files properly. The file got corrupted or more advance items like tables, bullets,etc did not display very well, so it is best to save files as abw and then to doc, so you have a backup file if your doc file you made in Abiword got messed up which sometimes happen when saving files to a different file format. If you do not need your file to be edited, you can use Ubuntu print to file function when you print your document, and pick PDF to print your document to a PDF file or you can just do a save as to save your document as a PDF.

Oracle Open Office Word Processor is a fast, light weight Word Processor which is Free for Windows, Linux, and Mac Operating System. I have been using Open Office since 2003 when it was owned by Sun Microsystems till now, and it has been a great free Office Suite. I mostly used the Word Processor in Open Office which has served me very well for most of my college days.

Open Office 3.2 Word Processor has everything I need in a word processor which includes auto-save/recovery, print preview, spell check, bold, indent, and underline text, positioning text, adjusting the margins, inserting tables, inserting links, the ability to save files as .doc for sharing files with MS word users, and .pdf file for writing eBooks, header, and footer insert, page numbers insert, lists, bullets, inserting pictures, word count and more. One of the main strength of Open Office is it can open and convert files to many different document formats which can be open with other Word Processors like Microsoft Word.
