KOffice is a free set of office applications that integrate with the award winning KDE desktop. KOffice is a light-weight yet feature rich office solution and provides a variety of filters to interoperate with other popular office suites such as OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office. KOffice 1.3 consists of the following applications: * KWord - A frame-based word processor * KSpread - An advanced spreadsheet application * KPresenter - A full-featured presentation program * Kivio - A Visio-style flowcharting application * Karbon14 - A vector drawing application * Kugar - A tool for generating business quality reports * KChart - An integrated graph and chart drawing tool * KFormula - A powerful formula editor Big improvements have been made in KOffice 1.3 with respect to interoperability with other office file formats. It is now for example possible to import as well as export OpenOffice.org documents. Also new is the ability to import PDF files into KWord and make changes to the document. Support for Microsoft document- formats has improved as well. "Many people have been asking for improved support for the Microsoft document-formats and we have made significant improvements in that area for this release," says David Faure, a KOffice developer for Klaralvdalens Datakonsult AB. "Especially the support for Microsoft Word 95 and Microsoft Word 97 documents has become much better." Principal Improvements The principal improvements over KOffice 1.2 are: KWord (Word Processor). * support for automatic hyphenation; * a new MS Word import filter; * support for pictures, tables and footnotes in the RTF export filter (which has been re-written); * support for pictures and footnotes in the LaTeX export filter; * a new MS Write export filter and a re-written MS Write import filter; * support for bookmarks; * text sorting; * new character attributes, such as word-by-word underlining and relative font sizes; and * improved spell checking (selection only; ignore words; etc.). KPresenter (Presentation Tool). * support for automatic hyphenation; * an improved slide transition dialog, featuring a preview of the slide effect; * drawing images with alpha channels; * customizable printing of slide notes; and * improved HTML export as well as usability enhancements to the HTML export wizard. KSpread (Spreadsheet). * over 100 new formulas (date/time, math, statistical, financial and more); * an OpenCalc import and export filter; * a new LaTeX export filter; * enhancements to the CSV import and export options; * new date and time formats; * a subtotal dialog and formula; and * default cell styles. Kugar / Kugar Designer (Business Reporting). * redesigned to better integrate into the KOffice environment; * enhanced handling of items in the designer (cut / copy / paste; undo / redo; manual z-ordering; etc.); * support for printing reports from the command line / scripts; and * a DCOP interface. A more complete list of changes is available at the KOffice web site. Installing KOffice 1.3 Binary Packages Binary Packages. Some Linux/UNIX OS vendors have kindly provided binary packages of KOffice 1.3 for some versions of their distribution, and in other cases community volunteers have done so. Some of these binary packages are available for free download from KDE's http or ftp mirrors. Additional binary packages, as well as updates to the packages now available, may become availab
