AbiWord, alternative Linux à Corel WordPerfect
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
AbiWord is a reasonable replacement for Corel WordPerfect if you primarily need basic to intermediate word processing and don’t rely heavily on advanced mail merge or complex macros. It handles common formatting, spell check, and document export well, and stays fast and lightweight. However, long-time WordPerfect users depending on its unique template system, extensive macro support, or precise print layout controls may find AbiWord lacking. It’s best suited for users who value simplicity and speed over deep feature parity.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Corel WordPerfect
AbiWord can open .doc, .docx, and .rtf files reliably, but does not support the WordPerfect .wpd format. If you have existing .wpd documents, you’ll need to convert them using WordPerfect or a conversion tool before using them in AbiWord. Exporting to PDF and HTML is supported, making it easy to share documents, but complex formatting from WordPerfect files may not translate perfectly even after conversion.
