About

AbleWord is a very capable word processing application that can read and write the most popular document formats including PDFs. It is fully featured, supports image formatting, tables, headers & footers, and includes spell checking and print preview functions. Best of all it is totally free even for commercial use. There are a few free Word Processing packages available for Windows but none come close to the features offered by AbleWord. It is highly compatible with popular document formats including .DOC & .DOCX but Ableword can also open and save as a PDF which makes it a very useful tool to have. AbleWord very simple to install and use, it is commonly used as a PDF editor and also for converting PDF to Word® but of course, it is also a splendid word processor and supports most of Microsoft Word®'s features. For more information see our getting started guide or online help.

About

SmartEdit Writer, free software for novel and short story writers. A free software to plan your novel, prepare and maintain research material, write your novel scene by scene, and edit chapter by chapter in a modern Windows application that has a similar look and feel to Microsoft Word. Store images & links to websites, all in a handy research section that sits right next to you as you write. Create character profiles, outlines & notes as you work. No more 100,000 word Microsoft documents. Write your novel one scene or chapter at a time. Drag and drop scenes inside your document until it’s just the way you want it. Identify word and phrase over-use, monitor adverbs, crutch words & clichés, and improve sentence structure & punctuation, all using SmartEdit’s editor toolbar. SmartEdit Writer allows you to group your work-in-progress and any research you’ve built up about it into a single project. Add folders, scenes, and notes to your document tree.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It doesn't need the internet, and it's free. The editing tools are the main attraction, IMO. If you are trying to avoid AI tools, it has a bunch of great monitoring tools that are not AI, similar to ProWritingAid or Hemingway. Shows a list of your word and phrase repetitions, all adverbs you used, redundancies, misused words, homonyms, "new" and "knew", "less than" and "fewer than" shows a list of your cliches, dialogue tags, proper nouns, acronyms, risque words and phrases, all words and phrases used to begin sentences. Shows extra-long sentences. Shows all the punctuations you used, etc, etc
  • At first I was quite pleased with it design, workflow, easy to get to know it. I got into developing and creating a story pretty easily.

Cons

  • I wish it exported to HTML. It's rarely updated (but it's still easy to find).
  • 8 days later, suddenly all text from every single scene, and I mean all = 100%, had vanished. Characters were still there, but what to do, when all the flesh has left? No copy or saved files could be opened or reopened and if only the emptied project was there. Hours went on and that was it. I could not retrieve a single word. I should have copied every line to whatever text program and save it elsewhere.
