The ABW file extension stands for AbiWord Document, a word-processing file format used by the open-source AbiWord software. Developed by the AbiSource community, ABW files support formatted text, images, tables, lists, and footnotes. Originally popular for its cross-platform compatibility, AbiWord has since focused on Linux. ABW files are based on XML, allowing them to be opened with various text editors, though best viewed with AbiWord.
The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.
