What is an AWT file?
An AWT file is a document template created by AbiSource AbiWord, a free word processor. It contains preset page layout and style settings for a document that allows users to author multiple .ABW documents with the same formatting. AbiWord users often save letters, memos, reports, and other documents they want to replicate as AWT files.
