<indexterm><primary><acronym>WYSIWYG</acronym></primary></indexterm>
<acronym>WYSIWYG</acronym> (What You See Is What You Get)
Word-processor/Desktop Publishing Program.
</para>

<para>
&kword; is part of the &koffice; productivity suite for the K Desktop
Environment.  Other applications in &koffice; include:
</para>

<simplelist type="vert" columns="1">
<member>&kspread; (A fully functional spreadsheet.)</member>
<member>&kpresenter; (A presentation creator.)</member>
<member>&killustrator; (A vector drawing program.)</member>
<member>&krayon; (A bitmap image editor)</member>
<member>&kivio; (A flowchart creator)</member>
<member>&kugar; (A report generation tool.)  </member>
<member>and a simple integrated office desktop, to help organize your
work.</member>
</simplelist>

<para>
All &koffice; applications were designed from the beginning to take
advantage of the features of &kde; 2.0. Because of this, &kword; (like
all of &koffice;), supports drag and drop, themes, and many other
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>, <application>Word Perfect</application>
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, clip-art, 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>

<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata format="PNG" fileref="intro3.png" align="center"/>
        </imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>Button</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>


<para>
&kword; simplifies the creation of new pages (at the users option), by
automatically creating frames for the next page, using the current page
as a blueprint. This eliminates the need for the user to re-define the
frame boundaries each page.
</para>

<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; allows very complicated numbering of lists. You are not
limited to numbers or letters, you can define your own series for your
special lists.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Define paragraph layout styles, to shorten the editing time of
your document, and ensure consistency throughout a long document.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Edit headers and footers for your documents.  You can have
different headers for even and odd pages, or the same headers
throughout.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Search through your document for text.  You can further refine
your search by specifying font, format, font size and many other
features of the text. By adding wild-cards to your search, the search and
replace functions can become very powerful.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Complete footnote and end-note support.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Tables. You can either use the table formatting capabilities of
&kword;, or you can import any spreadsheet from &kspread;.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>&kword; has built in support for KParts.  KParts allows you to
insert any spreadsheet, picture, chart, graph, document, or any other
data type from any &koffice; application.  You are free to edit that
KPart using the tools designed for that task, without needing to start
the application at all.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>&kword; can zoom in or out to make the editing of your documents
easier on any computer, and with any font size. </para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>&kword; supports customizable tool bars and menus.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>&kword; has extensive internationalization support.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You can embed formulas directly into &kword; using the integrated
formula editor.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>The best part about &kword;, is the effort that has been placed to
make &kword; a productive tool for all your needs from the simplest
letter, to the most complex document you might need to work on.</para>

will do, however, is help you determine which parts of the manual you

refer to the other parts of this manual as needed to help you with

<glossentry id="defbitmap">
<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
the page, there is a loss of detail. The file names of such pictures
often end in jpeg, png or gif. Compare to <link

<glossentry id="defclipart">
<glossterm>Clipart</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>Clip art refers to vector based graphics. These graphic files
describe the picture as a collection of lines, curves and dots.  These
file formats are preferable to bit-mapped images, because their size can
be made larger or smaller, without any loss in quality. The downside of
vector formats, is that it can be quite difficult to describe certain
types of photographs using only lines and curves.  This results
difficult, complicated files and most of the benefits of vector formats
are lost.  Compare to <link linkend="defbitmap">Bitmap

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

<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>File Type</guilabel> line of
the save and load dialog boxes.</para>
