10.2. KOffice

The KOffice suite is optimized for the KDE desktop environment. The KOffice applications also create documents and files in open standards formats including OpenDocument (.ODF), Rich Text Format (.RTF), and HTML. Officially, the KOffice FAQ recommends using .RTF or .PDF formats for compatibility with Microsoft Word.[4] KOffice does support Microsoft file formats, but there are issues with compatibility.
For the most up-to-date information on all of KOffice 's program offerings, visit the official KOffice site at https://www.koffice.org/. This site also includes detailed documentation and help for each individual KOffice program.
For more information on using KOffice , refer to the overview at https://www.koffice.org/"https://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-runtime/userguide/kde-office-components.html, which also contains links to handbooks for the individual KOffice components.
