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 DOCX file extension stands for "Document Open XML", a Microsoft Word Document format introduced in Office 2007. It uses XML and ZIP compression technology to create smaller, more efficient files compared to the older DOC format. DOCX files are widely used for creating, editing, and sharing professional documents, ensuring compatibility across various platforms and devices. This format supports advanced features such as macros, formatting options, and multimedia elements, making it essential for modern document processing in the IT and business sectors. Its history reflects Microsoft's ongoing efforts to enhance document interoperability and efficiency.
