__NOTOC__

'''This is the home of the {{AOo}} Word Processing Project.'''
Its heart is the [https://www.openoffice.org/product/writer.html Writer] application but it also comprises the {{AOo}} Formula Editor [https://www.openoffice.org/product/math.html Math], the integration of the linguistic components (spellchecker, hyphenator, thesaurus) and some documentfilters for formats of other wordprocessors. The linguistic components themselves are part of the ''lingucomponent'' project.
