Bean 2.3.1
Uncluttered word processor and rich text editor. more>>
Bean 2.3.1 is designed as a small and easy-to-use word processor (or more precisely, a rich text editor) which helps you write conveniently, efficiently and comfortably.
Bean is Open Source, fully Cocoa, and is available free of charge! MS Word, OpenOffice, etc. try to be all things to all people. But sometimes you just want the right tool for the job. That is Bean's niche. If you use TextEdit but have to jump through hoops just to get a word count or change the margins, try Bean. If you desire a simple, beautiful writing environment, try Bean.
Major Features:
- A live word count;
- A Get Info panel for in-depth statistics;
- A zoom-slider to easily change the view scale;
- An Inspector panel with lots of sliders;
- Date-stamped backups;
- Autosaving;
- A page layout mode;
- An alternate colors option (e.g., white text on blue);
- An option to show invisible characters (tabs, returns, spaces);
- Selection of text by text style, paragraph style, color, etc.
- A floating windows option (like Stickies has);
- Easy to use menus;
- Remembers cursor postion (excluding .txt, .html, .webarchive formats);
- All of Cocoa's good stuff (dictionary, word completion, etc.).
Enhancements:
- Fixed UI glitch: Bean Preferences > Style > Line Spacing now assigns line spacing correctly (user reported).
Requirements:
- A Mac with a PPC or Intel processor running OS X 10.4+ Tiger or OS X 10.5+ Leopard.

AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft Word more>> AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft Word
AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft Word. It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, etc. It is designed to integrate perfectly with the operating system it runs on. It will take advantage of the functionality provided by the system, such as image loading or printing capabilities.
AbiWord has the following other editions available: AbiWord for Windows and AbiWord for Linux.
AbiWord for MacOSX was developed primarily by Hubert Figuiere, with occasional help from Francis Franklin, Dom Lachowicz and Pat Lam. Thanks also to Ryan Pavlik, Remi Payette and Karl Koehler. (Let me know if your name also belongs in this list.) Of course, the full credits list for AbiWord is hundreds of names long...
What Makes AbiWord Different?
AbiWord is unique among word processors in its drive to become a fully cross-platform word processor.
Our source code is carefully written so that AbiWord will run on virtually any operating system with a minimum of time spent on porting. This combined with our support for internationalization (the ability to run AbiWord in many languages) gives AbiWord a massive potential user-base.
Main features:
- Multi Platform
- Enjoy your favorite Word Processor on the operating system you like to use - be it Windows, Linux, QNX, FreeBSD or Solaris.
- AbiWord has been designed to integrate perfectly with the operating system it runs on. It will take advantage of the functionality provided by the system, such as image loading or printing capabilities.
- Interoperability
- What use is a Word Processor when you cant share your documents with your friends? AbiWord is able to read and write all industry standard document types, such as OpenOffice.org documents, Microsoft Word documents, WordPerfect documents, Rich Text Format documents, HTML web pages and many more.
- Advanced Document Layout
- Give your document that professional, scientific or fun-to-read look using AbiWords advanced document layout options. Use tables, bullets, lists, images, footnotes, endnotes and styles to enhance the way your document looks.
- Internationalization
- Since not everyone in the world speaks the same language, AbiWord comes in many different languages. AbiWord is available in most common and many not-so-common languages.
- Make sure your document contains none of those nasty spelling errors by using AbiWords built-in spelling checker. Dictionaries exist for over 30 languages.
- AbiWord supports right-to-left, left-to-right, and mixed-mode text. This means that in addition to supporting European languages, AbiWord supports languages like Hebrew and Arabic as well.
- Mail Merge
- Do you also hate writing tens of thousands form letters by hand? With AbiWords Mail Merge capabilities, you can let AbiWord automate that job for you. Special fields inserted into a template document can automatically be replaced with data coming from a variety of sources, such as Relational Databases, Comma Separated Text files or Tabbed Text files.
- To facilitate the use of AbiWord in a server environment, a powerful command line interface to AbiWord is available. This allows you to generate form letters, print documents or convert documents to any file format AbiWord supports - all from the command line!
- Extensible Plugin Architecture
- The main AbiWord program is very small and requires very little resources to run. This allows AbiWord to be used on systems that are not considered "State of the Art" anymore, which comes all too quickly in the IT world.
- Our plugin system was designed to give AbiWord all the functionality you might expect from a modern Word Processor. A variety of plugins can be used to extend AbiWords functionality, ranging from Document Importers to a Thesaurus, Image Importers and a Text Summarizer.
