KWord
KWord is a
frame-based word-processing and desktop publishing application. KWord
is capable of creating professional looking documents.
Frame oriented word processors work by creating one or more
frames
per page. Each frame acts as a boundary (like
a frame which surrounds a photograph), which limits the text to the
boundaries of the frame. You can move and re-size boundaries to define
exactly where on the page the text will be placed. As you re-size
frames, the text is reworked to fit within these frames.
KWord is part of the KOffice
productivity suite for the K
Desktop Environment. Other applications in KOffice
include: KSpread (a
spreadsheet application), KPresenter (a presentation creator), Karbon14
(a vector drawing program), Kivio
(a flowchart creator), Krita (a
pixel
based drawing program), Kugar (a report generation tool), Kexi (an
integrated environment for databases, KChart (a chart and graph
creator), KPlato (an integrated project management and planning tool),
and a simple integrated office desktop, to help organize your work.
