Books for you

KOffice uses a technology, called KParts, that allows for integration of many tools under
one umbrella, but does not require every piece to be present for everything to work. Thus,
although you have to download and install the entire OpenOffice.org suite, you may
need only the word processor. Each KOffice tool is a single KPart, and if you want only
KWord, that??™s all you need to get.
The primary weakness of KOffice is its lack of compatibility with most modern Microsoft
formats. The KOffice tools will read the vast majority of Microsoft Office documents,
spreadsheets, and so on, but cannot produce complex documents in the current Office
formats, although it can do Rich Text Format and WordPad (that is, Microsoft Word 6).
Communicating with Office users is not impossible, as KOffice will save to the
OpenOffice.org OpenDocument format, WordPerfect, and standard HTML or XML.
What??™s in KOffice?
The KOffice tools rival OOo in number, if not always in quality. As with many things
related to KDE, they also tend to run the ???K??? references into the ground.
