History
KWord was created by Reginald Stadlbauer
Until 2012, KWord was being actively developed along with the rest of the KOffice suite.[4] Beginning with KOffice 2.4 the developers aimed to release new KOffice versions every six months in sync with SC4 releases[7] but KOffice had seen no development activity since mid-March 2012.[8]
After two minor commits in August 2012[9] the koffice.org website was replaced by a placeholder in early September 2012. On October 22, 2012 KDE removed KOffice from their Quality Website Tools.[10]
Features
The text-layout scheme in KWord is based on frames,
Many desktop publishing (DTP) applications use frames, much like KWord does, but these DTP applications use a concept called master pages which gives the power to the user to design the structure of the document. However, KWord developers designed the frames usage to be a usable variant of master pages, with intelligent copying of frames and their position when a new page is created, for example when there is too much text for a page.
