Actually, from my experience, abw files are nothing but plain text - no binary smiley faces, etc., so with some (okay, a lot of) patience, one could open an abw file in plain old NotePad and edit out the formatting codes and be left with an unformatted plain text file. Then, open it into any word processor in the world and reformat it. Again, it requires a lot of patience and may not be worth the effort, but it's nice to know it can be done if it has to be.
