-## 15.3 Productivity
-
-
-
-When it comes to productivity, new users often look for a good office suite or a friendly word processor. While some [x11-wm.html desktop environments] like **KDE** already provide an office suite, there is no default application. DragonFly provides all that is needed, regardless of your desktop environment.
-
-
-
-This section covers these applications:

- **OpenOffice.org** | heavy | huge | ***'GCC 3.1***', ***'JDK™ 1.3***', **Mozilla** |

-### 15.3.1 KOffice
-
-
-
-The KDE community has provided its desktop environment with an office suite which can be used outside **KDE** . It includes the four standard components that can be found in other office suites. **KWord** is the word processor, **KSpread** is the spreadsheet program, **KPresenter** manages slide presentations, and **Kontour** lets you draw graphical documents.
-
-
-
-Before installing the latest **KOffice** , make sure you have an up-to-date version of **KDE** .
-
-
-
-To install **KOffice** as a package, you can use the ports collection. For instance, to install **KOffice** for ***'KDE3***', do:
-
-
-
-
-
- # cd /usr/ports/misc/koffice
-
- # bmake install clean
-
-
-
-
-
-### 15.3.2 AbiWord
-
-
-
- **AbiWord** is a free word processing program similar in look and feel to **Microsoft® Word** . It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, and so forth. It is very fast, contains many features, and is very user-friendly.
-
-
-
- **AbiWord** can import or export many file formats, including some proprietary ones like Microsoft `.doc`.
-
-
-
- **AbiWord** is available as a package. You can install it by:
-
-
-
-
-
- # pkg_radd abiword
-
-or
-
- # pkgin in abiword
-
-
-
-If the package is not available, it can be compiled from the ports collection. The ports collection should be more up to date. It can be done as follows:
-
-
-
-
-
- # cd /usr/ports/editors/AbiWord
-
- # bmake install clean
-
-
-
-
-
-### 15.3.3 The GIMP
-
-
-
-For image authoring or picture retouching, **The GIMP** is a very sophisticated image manipulation program. It can be used as a simple paint program or as a quality photo retouching suite. It supports a large number of plug-ins and features a scripting interface. **The GIMP** can read and write a wide range of file formats. It supports interfaces with scanners and tablets.
-
-
-
-You can install the package by issuing this command:
-
-
-
- # pkg_radd gimp-2.6
-
-or
-
- # pkgin in gimp-2.6
-
-
-If your FTP site does not have this package, you can use the ports collection. The [graphics](http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/graphics.html) directory of the ports collection also contains **The Gimp Manual** . Here is how to get them installed:
-
-
-
-
-
- # cd /usr/ports/graphics/gimp
-
- # bmake install clean
-
-
-
-### 15.3.4 OpenOffice.org
-
-
-
- **OpenOffice.org** includes all of the mandatory applications in a complete office productivity suite: a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation manager, and a drawing program. Its user interface is very similar to other office suites, and it can import and export in various popular file formats. It is available in a number of different languages including interfaces, spell checkers, and dictionaries.
-
-
-
-The word processor of **OpenOffice.org** uses a native XML file format for increased portability and flexibility. The spreadsheet program features a macro language and it can be interfaced with external databases. **OpenOffice.org** is already stable and runs natively on Windows®, Solaris™, Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS® X. More information about **OpenOffice.org** can be found on the [OpenOffice web site](http://www.openoffice.org/). For FreeBSD specific information, and to directly download packages use the [FreeBSD OpenOffice Porting Team](http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/)'s web site. These packages should work on DragonFly.
