AbiWord can't save to the native MSWord format. However, MS Word has
excellent support for RTF. The RTF format was designed by Microsoft to
support all of MS Word's feature set.

[Overly technical bit follows] Actually, when you open a file in MS
Word, computer code converts your MSWrite or WordPerfect document into
RTF, and then MS Word imports the RTF. It's also what Windows uses to
copy + paste rich text.
