No. Probably not.

To Repeat what Martin has said:

The GTK version of Abiword has bonobo support and can be embedded in
other GTK applications.
The GTK version of Abiword runs on Unix (and Linux)

The version of abiword that runs on Windows is not the GTK version.
The Windows version of Abiword uses the Windows native user interface and
does not included bonobo support and cannot be embedded.

If you could get the GTK version of abiword with bonobo support to compile
on windows you might have a chance.

No. Sorry.
