## A Quick Guide to AbiWord for MacOSX

Below is a screen shot of AbiWord showing two of the four toolbars, the Tool Palette panel which can be used as an alternative (or an addition) to the toolbars, the Preview Panel which shows preliminary input text for Chinese / Japanese / Korean input methods, and of course an AbiWord document window.

##
The Preview Panel

If desired, the Preview Panel can be displayed using the switch in the Window Panels menu. There is another input preview box in the Extra panel of the Tool Palette. The Preview Panel can be widened, if desired. (My Japanese is close to non-existent, but I think I managed to write "Pleased to meet you. My name is fjf.")

## The Tool Palette

The Tool Palette can be displayed using the switch in the Window Panels menu (although visible at start-up, it can be hidden). The Tool Palette has a number of palettes that can be collapsed or expanded at will, thus you can have the normal start-up configuration (old-style palette with bordered buttons), or even:
