    I indicated that, NO, it's not good as Libre Office. on Google cloud my documents have been lost. I'd rather hold onto my doc's in my tablet - it goes everywhere with me.

    AbiWord lags functionality to Libreoffice Writer, like Microsoft WordPad lags functionality to Microsoft Word. On the plus side: AbiWord is light weight ( If that matters to you ...)
