- The fact that LibreOffice is highly costumizable for instance for the Pinephone:

- has encouraged me to make another tests. Who wants to be debugger of an app like Abiword, an app for which developement has basically stopped then years ago?
- So I still have LibreOffice to test if Abiword fails and can avoid going completely crazy looking for a wordprocessor for the Pinephone which works for my use case if Abiword should not work.
- Wordprocessor, text editor, I am not an expert in this field, and I do not know the exact definitions of these terms. So let's stick with Abiword and LibreOffice Writer.
- I did another test and created with Abiword a file and save it in the .odt format on an Ubuntu PC
- This is also the format in wich LibreOffice saves files.
- I created another file with LibreOffice Writer in the .odt format on my Ubuntu PC.
- I stored both of these files to an SD card.
- Then I was able to open the file I have created with Abiword in the .odt format on my Pinephone with Abiwrod and had not the issues I described above.
- Also the LibreOffice Writer file I created on my Ubuntu PC which i stored on an SD card and opened it with LibreOffice Writer on my Pinephone was perfect.
- But I think it needs further testing especially the issues I experienced with Abiword files I created on the Pinephone, then edited on my Ubuntu PC, which had issues when I opened those files again on the Pinephone.
- it remains to be seen if the issues I described above can be solved by choosing the .odt formatl

Ok, I have einstalled ABIWORD on Pinephone, wrote some Letters and saved it to SD-Card.
The SD-Card inserted in PC (Ubuntu 20.04) and doubleclicked this *.abw-File from SD-Card.
"LibreOffice Writer" opens the File and I wrote some more Text there.
LibreOffice is saving this *abw-File to *.odt. There are no "Export-Function" to save/convert it as *.abw.
SD-Card back to Phinephone and Abiword opens the *.odt-File nicely.
What I have written, with LibreOfice to this File, is still there.
BTW:
LibreOffice is the Way to go :-)

- I am revisting a problem which I tried to solve last year.
- Thanks for the answer, Walter1950, your procedure sounds very interesting.
- I only saw it now and are looking more closely at it.
- I have put my Pinephone on the screed last year when I had no time to look at this problem more closely.
- Now when I started my Pinephone I did not remember my password for postmarketOS
- So I have to admit I have not tested Walter1950 s solution to this date.
- But I will do it as soon as I am able to login to my Pinephone again.
- So the following is a more theoretical solution I thought about.
- And I ask the question in another tread.
