Open ABW File
ABW files are AbiWord document files - this is a format similar to Word's DOCX and is used by AbiWord word processing software.
Like Word, this rich text program is used to store text, images, tables, and more.
Open ABW files
These files work primarily with the AbiWord software package developed by AbiSource, although other word processing programs can also open and edit them.
About AbiWord
AbiWord is a free and open source software word processor, written in the C++ language and based on GTK+ 3.
The name 'AbiWord' is derived from the root of the Spanish word 'abierto', which means 'open'.
This software is available on Linux, Mac and Windows.
For other platforms, you may need to convert the file to a different file type using an online converter.
In other words, the AbiSource AbiWord software works best with this type of file, although other word processors like LibreOffice Writer can do it too.
