- asdff 7y agoYou can save as plain text in Word at least.
- jraph 7y agoIt seems that in the common, accepted terminology, text editors [1] are used to edit plain text documents and word processors [2] are what LibreOffice Writer and Microsoft Word are. They process formatted text document, and sure, they can even be used as text editors. So yes, they edit texts, but calling them text editors can be confusing if not clear from the context because of the common terminology (here, the context was clear for me though).
