Suposeu que esteu preparant un document amb el & kword; i que voleu il· lustrar algun punt usant una taula. Encara que el & kword; té la seva funcionalitat per a la inserció de taules, això pot no ser suficient per a les vostres necessitats. Per exemple, podríeu voler usar certs formats de moneda o fer càlculs usant fórmules al full de dades. Ara, algun programador del & kword; podria intentar implementar aquesta funcionalitat. Però el & kword; no seria mai tan bo com el & kspread; en aquest camp, acabaria sent irracionalment complex i el codi font es faria impossible de mantenir.
Suppose that you are preparing a document in & kword; and want to illustrate some point using a table. While & kword; provides its own functionality for the insertion of tables, this may not be enough for your needs. For example, you may want to use certain currency data formats or to do calculations using spreadsheet formulae. Now, some & kword; programmer certainly could try to implement this functionality. However, & kword; would never be as good as & kspread; in this field; and if it tried to implement all the functionality you might possibly need, it would end up becoming unreasonably complex and the source code would become impossible to maintain.
