Colors?  I never use colors in AbiWord (I'm not even
sure whether AbiWord does colors).  My printer is a
dot-matrix so colors in documents are useless to me.

Are we talking RTF or DOC?  AbiWord only handles simple
DOCs well; it has problems with more complicated ones.
However, I've never had problem with RTFs on AbiWord
(but, of course, I don't do colors).

Opera is not legible for you?  Have you tried magnifying 
the screen?  Opera has a nice magnify feature -- works
for graphics too.
