Introduction

The default office application in <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> is LibreOffice. It includes Calc, Draw, Impress, Math, and Writer. This suite is the open source equivalent of the <trademark>Microsoft Office</trademark> suite, and each application corresponds to a similar product in that line. Calc is similar to <trademark>Excel</trademark>, Writer is like <trademark>Word</trademark>, Impress is similar to <trademark>PowerPoint</trademark>, Base and <trademark>Access</trademark> have similar functions. LibreOffice applications work well with the files created by their <trademark>Microsoft</trademark> counterparts, with the exception of <trademark>Microsoft Access</trademark> files.

All of these applications (except for Base) are installed by default. <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> has renamed the titles listed in the <application>Kickoff Application Launcher</application> to reflect how the applications are used.
