<para>
All &koffice; applications were designed from the beginning to take
advantage of the features of &tde;. Because of this, &kword; (like
all of &koffice;), supports many advanced features you expect from todays desktop environment.
</para>
<para>
&kword; is a word-processor which can work either as a traditional word
processor, or as a simple but powerful desktop publishing
application. This is possible because &kword; is a frame oriented word
processor, not a page oriented word processor (&Microsoft;
<application>Word</application>,&Wordperfect;
and <application>Applixware</application> are all page oriented word
processors).
</para>
<para>
Frame oriented word processors work by creating one or more
<emphasis>frames</emphasis> 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.
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata format="PNG" fileref="intro1.png" align="center"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>Button</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>
You can easily <emphasis>connect</emphasis> one frame to the next. When
you connect two frames, any text which does not fit within the first
frame, flows easily and automatically into the next.
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject><imagedata format="PNG" fileref="intro2.png"
align="center"/> </imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>Button</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>
In addition to text, you can include virtually anything inside a frame.
A frame can contain a spreadsheet, pictures, a database form,
or nearly any piece of data. Since each page can have any number of
frames, documents can appear quite sophisticated while still remaining
easy to edit.
</para>
<para>
&kword; users also benefit from the auto wrap features of &kword;. When
you place one frame on top of part of another frame, the text from the
<emphasis>lowest</emphasis> frame can be automatically wrapped around
the newly created frame. This reformatting occurs in a
<acronym>WYSIWYG</acronym> Graphical User Interface, and happens
automatically while you edit.

<para>
As a word-processor, &kword; includes the most used options of many other
word processors, while maintaining a simple interface. In addition to
the features you expect from a modern word-processing package (text
entry, bold face, italics, text alignment, text printing, &etc;),
&kword; can:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Use predefined templates, to generate complex document layout with
one click of the mouse. As a user, you can build your own templates,
download templates from the web, or use the current document to create a
new template.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>&kword; provides automatic numbering of lists and automatic bulleting of lists with any character or shape you want. <!--You are not

KPart using the tools designed for that task, without needing to start
the application at all.</para>

<para>&kword; has the ability (with varying success) to load data

save data as non-&koffice; data files. This is provided to help users

<para>&kword; does this by loading a non-&koffice; datafile into

formatting information will be lost or changed by the filter in the
attempt.</para>

<glossdef>
<para>This is the ratio of the measurement of a screen, picture or document

computer monitors have the same aspect ratio, regardless of their
resolution. Any &kword; document that conforms to the standard
screen will look good on any monitor.</para>

<para>Binary code is the actual instructions for the computer. So if we

they are not easily understood by people. Compare this distribution method to <glossterm

<glossterm>Bitmap Image</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>Bit mapped images are composed of individual dots. This type of
file is very good for photographs and complex drawings. The downside of
using bitmap images, is that when you change the size of the image on

<glossdef>
<para>The clipboard is a temporary storage area in memory. Whenever you
use the <guimenuitem>Cut</guimenuitem> or

<para>Compiling programs

<para>A file mask can be thought of as a strainer for you. On the
average computer, there are several thousand files. These files are
sorted into sub-directories, but it is not uncommon for many users to
have 100's of data files in a single sub-directory.</para>
<para>Fortunately for us, most applications use a suffix to their
filenames. By applying a file mask, &kword; will only show you the
files which are not filtered out by the mask. (That is to say &kword;
only shows the files that fit through the strainer). This can be
helpful if you have many files from many different applications. The
file mask is incorporated in the <guilabel>Filter:</guilabel> line of
the <guilabel>Save Document</guilabel> and <guilabel>Open Document</guilabel> dialog boxes.</para>
<para>As an example. If you use a file mask for &kword; files, the file
