Abiword as a office mobile word processor for the Pinephone?
#1
Here it says:

https://abiword.en.lo4d.com/windows

«AbiWord is a full and extensive word processor with features and a feel similar to older, more classic versions of Microsoft's Word product.»

- I was able to create and store files on an SD card with Abiword on my Pinephone

- then I transferred the file on an SD card to a Ubuntu PC, modified it here with Abiword

- Then I have put the SD card back to the Pinephone and was able to edit it again with Abiword.

- This worked without issues so far when choosing the .odt format ( Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF) ) to save files in Abiword.

- But I had issues when I have chosen the abiword filre format or the .rtf format as discussed here:

- The above procedure worked several times for me personally.

- Unfortunatly Abiword always want to save the file in the abiword format.

- I had to choose the .odt format every time I saved a file in Abiword.

- Is there a way to store the files by default in the .odt format in Abiword?

- I always saved the file as a new file.

- I did not test yet how it is if I save the file under the same file name as I opened the file.
