Ubuntu includes a collection of powerful 'office' applications by default. This document takes you on a quick tour of the features of the default office programs, and covers some of the useful extras you can install too.
Default Packages
This section provides an overview of the selection of office applications installed by default with Ubuntu.
OpenOffice.org Suite
OpenOffice.org is an open-source office suite which is compatible with other major office suites (such as Microsoft Office). Open'Office consists of several commonly used office-type applications, which provide hundreds of different features. The applications are highly integrated, and data from one application can be copied and edited in another with great ease.
General features
Open'Office applications share many of the same basic features. You can save your work from any Open'Office program into the PDF format, which is commonly used in both print and web publishing. All of the applications support spell checking, and share the same extended help system which includes many easy guides describing how to accomplish common (and some more advanced) tasks. You can also write small scripts called macros in several different programming languages for any of the Open'Office programs.
Writer (Word Processor)
Writer is Open'Office's word processing application. It offers many advanced features, such as the ability to connect to a variety of databases, while still making the basic of word processing easy. From simply changing the font colour to applying advanced page styles, Writer can handle pretty much any word-processing task you throw at it. You can even use Writer as a simple web-page designer.

Calc (Spreadsheet)
Calc is the spreadsheet component of Open'Office. It uses Microsoft Excel-style formulas and is able to produce high-quality charts. You can even enhance the impact of your graphs by adding statistical trendlines.

Impress (Presentations)
Impress is a presentation designer. It comes with several templates to get you started, but has all you need to create your own customised, high-impact presentations. The Task Pane makes adding animations and slide effects a breeze, as well as helping you to organise the structure of your presentation.

Base (Databases)
Base is a database tool, which allows you to collect together large amounts of data into one organised location. Base can be used to automatically produce high-quality reports based on your data, and has powerful search tools to help you find relevant pieces of information from within your databases. Base is tightly integrated with the other Open'Office applications, and data from a Base database can be automatically fed into letters, documents, envelopes, labels, spreadsheets and graphs.

Math (Mathematical Formula Editor)
Math is an equation editor. You can use it to provide professional-looking formulae in your documents, however complex they may be. Practically all of the staple mathematical symbols are present, along with a wide selection of symbols such as the full Greek alphabet.
Evolution Organiser
Evolution is the default e-mail application for Ubuntu, but is also a top-notch organiser too. It includes essential features such as an address book, calendar, memos and task list, so you need never be disorganised again.
Extra Packages
Ubuntu includes many other office applications which are not installed by default. Below is a selection of some useful extra applications which you can install.
AbiWord
AbiWord is an easy-to-use word processor, part of the GNOME Office suite. Its user-interface is similar to the of the popular Microsoft Word, intended to help users easily migrate. Import/export filters are integrated and allow support for common file formats including...
