# AbiWord Help

These are the help files for AbiWord. They are normally installed with the program, but if you have found them elsewhere, you can read an introduction to AbiWord.

As with the rest of the program, these files are written by volunteers. Some sections are still incomplete, but everything that the program can do is documented, most of it in the interface section. If you want to help, you should consult the Problems section.

The top of every page has links to all the pages leading to your current page, so that it is easy to retrace your steps. The Help link brings you to this page.

The help files are divided into several sections. These sections are linked from every page. The links are either in a column at the left of the page or in a line at the bottom, depending on your browser. The sections are:

## Top Page

## Introduction

A quick overview of AbiWord.
