Am trying to find a midrange useable LinuxWindoz wordprocessor which is fast, has a clean interface, and works well with text and graphics.

OO is slow, cumbersome, and as needlessly 'feature' heavy as MS-Word - which finally became basically unusable in the 2007 release because of all the ****.

In Windoz I use Jarte, which is basically a modern GUI to MS-WordPad and does most of what I need (though there are some issues with images, fonts, and formatting) and only have to turn to MS-Word (2003) for finishing touches.

To this point, I have not found a similar app for Linux (Though WordPad will run under WINE, Jarte does not) and was hoping that Kword might be that app.

Sadly, though I used the KDE windows installer, apparently not all dependencies were found and included as any attempt to run KWord produces the error "procedure entry point ?detach3@QListData@@QAEPAUData@1@XZ not found in QtCore4.dll"

KDE Office seems to have no suite verification/repair utility, so, unless someone has an idea of how to resolve this I guess that I will keep looking for a small, but modern, LinWin wordprocessor.

Thanks

if you compiled it yourself then you hit an issue mentioned here;

if you didn't compile anything please file a bugreport so the KDE windows guys can fix the problem.

No, did not do the compile.

Thank you for pointing to where this could be more usefully posted.

However, even more sadly, in order to make a bug report apparently one must either sacrifice an existing email account, or create a new one purely for this purpose.

In 1982 having one's email posted for the world to see might have seemed cool - but I get quite enough spam as it is (and judging by the required TWO anti-spam filters one has to pass to acquire an account of THIS forum, so do you).

So, no, do not agree with such use of my email and having invested nothing beyond a little time and bandwidth in KWord will just say sayonara ... Lit. "if it be, indeed, of that appearance".

I have the same problem. Wanted to try this suite but never opened the main applications (Kword, Kspread, Kpresenter), to bad. Wait, and want, the bug could be fixed.

Here is also same and thinking like you.

KWord is a part of the open source office suite KOffice. KWord is more than just a simple word processor, with its frame-based layout capability it can act like any commercial DTP tool and even typesetting product. Working with large texts e.g. for books is not a problem in KWord - and at all time you are in full control of the layout. KWord also supports PDF - and is able to embed Scaleable Vector Graphics (SVG) into its documents.
