Abiword and gnumeric have been replaced by LibreOffice Writer and LibreOffice Calc respectively since Fatdog64-710 (2016), see Fatdog64 710 Beta2 history.
Abiword isn't officially supported in the current release but there is a way to install the version built for Fatdog64-710.

To install the unsupported Abiword:

1. Download the old package abiword 3.0.1 for Fatdog64-710.
2. Download this dependency libical 1.0 for Fatdog64-710.
3. Download osmo 0.2.10 for Fatdog64-710.
4. Right-click and install the package downloaded in #1.
5. Right-click and install the package downloaded in #2. You will be asked to confirm that you want to replace (downgrade) the currently installed libical 3.0.3. Say yes. This will break osmo (see next step).
6. Step #5 broke osmo. Right-click and install the package downloaded in #3. This should repair osmo.

Following the above steps I was able to install Abiword in Fatdog64-810 and start with an empty document inside. I didn't go any further because I much prefer LibreOffice, so YMMV. Also, downgrading libical could be incompatible with other packages in the Fatdog64-810 repositories, I just don't know.
