Calligra Words gives you a lot of <strong>control over all elements<\/strong> of a document, and it uses <strong>ODT<\/strong> as its native format. It also has a distraction-free mode, which takes over your screen and shows only what you&#8217;re writing. There are no window decorations, menus, or toolbars to pull you away from your writing.<\/p>\n<p>AbiWord<\/p>\n<p><strong>Light and functional<\/strong> are two of the best words that one can use to describe AbiWord.<br \/>\nAbiWord packs all the basic features you&#8217;d expect from a word processor\u2014like styles, text formatting, graphics handling, and tables\u2014and a bit more. AbiWord also comes with a surprising number of <strong>import and export filters<\/strong>, including some formats (like Applix Words and ClarisWorks) that were long thought forgotten.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cowlark.com\/wordgrinder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Wordgrinder<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wordgrinder is a <strong>barebones terminal word processor<\/strong>. You might think that it&#8217;s a jumped-up text editor. It isn&#8217;t. Wordgrinder&#8217;s functions are limited, but they&#8217;re more than enough to write with. Wordgrinder <strong>saves documents in its own binary format<\/strong>. You can, however, import ODT, HTML, and plaintext files. <\/p>\n<p>Source:  <a href=\"https:\/\/opensource.com\/article\/17\/6\/3-alternatives-libreoffice-writer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Opensource.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s hard to dispute <strong>LibreOffice Writer<\/strong>&#8216;s position at the top of the <strong>free<\/strong> and <strong>Open Source word processor<\/strong> food chain\u2014both in popularity and in the number of features it has.
