Abiword is a free and open source Text Editor developed by Gnome Project, but also can be installed in Windows.
It has several useful functionalities.
It can be considered a great editor.
For now, it is possible view all the menu itens, and using flat review or object navigation, it is possible reading texts.
However, it's not possible reading using caret, so that we cannot edit using Abiword.

As I asked in #1745, have you tried contacting the developer to request improvements to the accessibility of their application? If the application implements accessibility support correctly, there should be no special work required in NVDA. This is always the cleaner way to implement accessibility.

I tryed do this, but creating abiword bugs is a non friendly process.
The bugs are criated via bugzilla, but it's mandatory to choose a owner, which is not possible to me, as I don't know the engineers.
Also look like it's necessary an advanced knowledge.
