Does this version offer a comprehensible mail merge process? Without that, I
don't see how AbiWord can called itself "fully-featured."

I do not think that this is the only reason why AbiWord is far from
being "fully featured". For example, I miss a "Table of Contents"
function.

I consider AbiWord rather an enhanced text editor than a word processor.
Nonetheless, there are probably many people who do not need much more
than AbiWord offers.
