Convert ABW to KWD

Understanding ABW and KWD file formats

The ABW file format is associated with AbiWord, a free word processing program. It is an open-source format used for creating and editing text documents, similar to Microsoft Word's DOC format. ABW files can contain text, images, tables, and other document elements.

The KWD file format is used by KWord, a word processing application that is part of the KOffice suite. KWD files store text documents with formatting, images, and other elements. KWord is now part of the Calligra Suite, and the format is less commonly used today.
