Since a few weeks I’m now playing with AbiWord as an alternative for the OpenOffice package simply because I don’t need most of those fancy little things most of the big players in the market come with but instead I was looking for a fast, lightweight text processor for simply things like letters, small texts etc. AbiWord looks like the right choice here for me :-) I especially liked the way it seems to handle text formating. When I first entered the formating dialogs I thought: Yeah CSS! ;-)
