3.1. Starting Kword

KWord can be started one of three ways:

  1. You can select Kword through the system menus, under "Koffice"

  2. If you are in a terminal program (KVT, Xterm, etc), you can type:
     $ KWord &

    Or

     $ KWord filename &

  3. Using Konqerer, you can click on your data file (KWord documents end in .kwd). This will automatically start KWord and begin editing the file.
