How do I convert my word documents to a different processing system?
November 23, 2009 - 8:34 am
I uninstalled Microsoft Word, Office etc because I didn’t have enough memory for it. I’ve recently installed Abiword and while I’m happy, when I tried to get a word attachment from my email, there was an error. Is it possible for me to convert the document from Word to Abiword?
Just download Open Office. It is automatically compatible with any and all Microsoft Office files including Word, Excel, Power Point, etc.
I use it exclusively and I love it soo much.

Rigth click on the file, select "open with" and put the Abiword…:)

Check the Abiword site, maybe they have a plugin to let you do this. I’m surprised they can’t just open the file directly though.
There’s always OpenOffice!

Have you tried to save the word document as a plain text or a plain text and then converting it to Abiword? That may help.

No. This was the last thing you should have uninstalled. It actually does not take all that much room on the disk. Try downloading Open Office from http://openoffice.org, and watch for the options when installing. A custom install could just be the writer, which is Word compatible.
