AbiWord Not Working?

[Artim]

I think you can install just LibreOffice Write without installing all the other LO stuff.  But even if not, you need only use Write and not the other LO things anyway.  I use them all in my school work (at a school that requires only "Microsoft format" too), but most users probably only use Write anyway.  It's pretty easy on resources and easily opens all documents.

For my school stuff, I use this technique to flawlessly save all my school term papers and reports in the format my professors insist on.  If they accept pdfs it's even easier, and you don't have to do the other little tricks.
