TIP
There are two boons for formal or academic writers in OpenOffice.org that are not
obvious to the casual observer:
. You can use the Navigator tool to build outlines of your documents. Your
Headings are listed in the Navigator, and you can drag them around, promote,
and demote them. Turn the Navigator on in the Edit menu, or press F5.
. You can also create a bibliographic database for use in either a single document
or across documents. Go to Tools, Bibliography Database to give it a spin.

Running KOffice
The K Desktop Environment (KDE) team began building an office suite in 2001. Although
it does not have all the polish (and certainly not the level of publicity) of OpenOffice.org,
it is a very good suite. KOffice v1.6 ships with openSUSE.
KDE users should especially appreciate KOffice and its tools. KOffice is designed to integrate
well with this popular desktop and with the other tools in the suite. Although each
component launches separately from either the shell or the KDE Kicker menu, there is
also a launch interface, called the KOffice Workspace, that includes icons for all the office
tools.
