    Will you be taking pointers from Abiword? AmigaOS4.1 has a port (version 2.8.6 originally from 2013 used by Edgar Schwan as a base, uploaded to OS4Depot in 2020) and the source code is also available from OS4Depot in the link I provided, at the bottom of the page, since Abiword is licensed under the GPL and any modifications/derivatives, like this one, must likewise be released under the same licensing terms with the available source code.

    Surely it would be less strenuous to port Abiword instead of starting from scratch. If AmigaOS4 users can have it, then so can MorphOS!

    AbiWord v2.8.6 is from 2010. The initial AmiCygnix port is from 2013.

    > uploaded to OS4Depot in 2020

    There've been 4 releases of AbiWord v2.8.6 for AmiCygnix: r1/r2 in 2013, r3/r4 in 2020.

    AbiWord runs on AmiCygnix (see your OS4Depot link), which runs on OS4.

    @ Papiosaur - definitely some improvements to see there, and nice to see these changes working already so early on in your development of this program. 8-D

    @Andreas_Wolf GOOD NIGHT how could I have been so sloppy? The usual excuses I could deploy are “i just got off work and it was past midnight in my time zone”, and “in my zeal to help Papiosaur I haphazardly came up with some suggestion which would be better than nothing” (all of which are true), but I digress…

    @Papiosaur the next updates in the coming weeks will include line spacing, text alignment, inline and "floating" image insertion, headers and footers, and finally read/write support for the .docx file format, ultimately leading Stylos to reach the level of, say, Angel Writer for Microsoft Windows. Just kidding, update at your own pace ;)
