KOffice is an integrated office suite for the Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE). KOffice currently consists of the following components:
KWord (a frames-based wordprocessor)
KSpread (a spreadsheet application)
KPresenter (screen and slide presentations)
Kivio (a flowchart application)
Karbon14 (a vector drawing application)
chalk (a pixel based drawing application)
Kugar (a tool for generating business quality reports)
Kexi (an integrated environment for managing data)
KChart (a charts/graphs generation application)
KFormula (an editor for mathematical formulae)
Because these components are based on the KParts component model, KOffice components are designed to work very well with each other. Any KOffice component can be embedded in another KOffice document. For instance, you can insert a spreadsheet which you created in KSpread directly into a KWord document. In this way, complex, compound documents can be created using KOffice.
A plugin mechanism makes it easy to extend the functionality of KOffice. You will find many plugins in some of the components and can learn how to write plugins yourself. There is also a section of this manual dedicated to developing plugins that should get you started.
This manual only covers the general features of KOffice, those that are common to most or all components in the suite. For detailed information about the different components, have a look at the respective manual.
