Calligra Words is better than LibreOffice Writer and it is very good in handling .docx files
I should test how well it handles formulas from .doc/docx. LibreOffice 3.5 couldn’t display them at all. And when I wrote them in LibreOffice, the guys that had to print the file couldn’t see the formulas in Microsoft Word 2007. The save was “Save to PDF” feature and that I took the laptop with me.
But it doesn’t support Turkish…
The turkish translation team has translated 53% of the strings in Calligra. I’m not sure what the cutoff is to get it included but I bet it’s not that far off. Maybe time to help them out? 🙂
See http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/package/calligra/ for the details.
salut je viens juste de decouvrire linux j ai instaler opensus 12.04 et kubantu sur virtuel box et j ai tomber sous leures charme j essye d apprendre a les utilese pour me debarrasse de win 7 merçi pour vos efforts et bon courage
I have Chakra gnu/linux. i hope to use Calligra.
I wonder if “Words” it allows frame-based layouting (including margin/padding/etc), plus text flowing around free-form objects, auto-syllabification, multi-column layouts and definition of continuing frames so you can have the text in a frame automatically continue in the next frame/column at any place you like.
Otherwise, I don’t see me ever using the word processor.
And I assume that style classes that can inherit from other style classes, with a definable following style class, are a given.
Can Calligra export an odt file in epub with more features than Sigil?
I cannot answer that since I don’t know which features Sigil have. Which feature are you looking for that you lack in Sigil?
Is it possible to change the line width and color of a dispersion chart in Sheets? I can’t find the option.
I’ tested the 2.5.2. It looks very powerful and promising. But the interface looks somewhat strange and unpolished – too large sidebars, zoom tool difficulties, no in-document editing for embedded objects etc. See my small review for details here
This Suit Is Great! I am now desktopping Kubuntu , I hope it is more powerful in the future!
Hi, All
Is there a Haiku port?
Cheers
I’ve downloaded this and tried it. I’ts not bad at all! It’s a welcome relief from Open Office, but I think LibreOffice might have a few notches over this….I dunno…I’m still in testing mode….I’m going to use them side-by-side and sww that’s interchangable between them. Otherwise…this is AWESOME!!
One of the finest out of the world software suite. Still wondering how this is free!
Words is a joy to work in. Very easy interface and works really well.
Sheets is more than enough for everyday use of spreadsheets. I don’t know if we could import VB scripts macros. Still using libre office for macro related documents.
Stage is a beautiful presentation software which competes with impress.
Flow is very good for flowcharts and for beginning programming planning etc.
Didn’t try out kexi but believe its as good as the other components.
Great job calligra team. Wish you success all the time!
Hello:
I recently got a new computer, an HP Stream 13, with Windows 8.1. A few days ago, I downloaded the Krita file, and it installed five applications: Karbon, Calligra Plan, Calligra Sheets, Calligra Stage, and Calligra Words. However, I understand there should have been eight, and I was really looking forward to using Calligra Flow. Could someone help me understand what happened and what I should do next to get the missing apps?
Thanks,
Eric Reinberg
One way Calligra could instantly gain a huge following of users is to add ability to import DBF files into Kexi. DBF, also called xBase is a file format far superior to CSV as it includes data type, size, fieldname information. xBase was created by dBase, then Foxpro which was bought by Microsoft. Microsoft Access supported DBF files in all versions but they dropped DBF support in the latest version, leaving thousands of users/developers in the dark. So typical of Microsoft. Thousands of Linux users are looking for a DB tool like Kexi that can approach the capabilities of MS Access.
Please add a DBF driver for import data!
Hi Bob. I agree, so there is the import plugin called xBase in Kexi. Can you see it (if not, what’s your OS exactly)? You can ask for more help in the forums http://forum.kde.org/kexi.
ok now i get it
I would love to have more styling options for table in Sheets like in Microsoft Excel. I want my sheets to look great.
