So you can see why X got fead up with me.
In my humble opinion, AbiWord is probably the_best_word_processor for
Linux. Small, fast, and highly highly stable. Though it does not have
some features I would like, I can't complain.
It is as simple, if not more than MS Word/ Corell WP, and has many of
the functions you would want in a word processor you would pay 30 or
more dollars for.
I run it on my personal computer, my work computer, and my girlfriend
runs it as her only word processer on her computer.So my answer to all
your questions is simply "yes"
Hope my 2-bits was helpful for you.
