LibreOffice
The pre-installed office application in Kubuntu is LibreOffice. It includes Calc, Draw, Impress, Math, Base and Writer. This suite is the open source equivalent of the Microsoft Office suite and each application corresponds to a similar product in that line.
- Calc = Excel
- Writer = Word
- Impress = Powerpoint
- Base = Access
LibreOffice works well with the files created by their Microsoft counterparts, with the exception of Microsoft Access files.
For more information see LibreOffice.
