All &koffice; applications were designed from the beginning to take
|
|
advantage of the features of &kde;. 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.

|
|
</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.
|
|

|

</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.

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;),

<para>A file mask can be thought of as a strainer for you. On the

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>
