KOffice is an office suite for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). All its components have been released under free software/open source licenses. The latest version of KOffice is 1.6.2, which was released on February 21, 2007. [1]

KOffice is primarily designed for Unix operating systems, but in the future there will likely be a Microsoft Windows version of all the applications [2]. Kexi has been ported to Windows by OpenOffice Polska, although the current version is proprietary [3].

KOffice uses the OASIS OpenDocument as native format.

KOffice includes the following components:
