Re: Great, thank you all

Cos KWord barfs at almost any MS Word doc that uses more than just plain text. Given that I have zero chance of convincing Windows addicted co-workers (with whom I have to share documents) to use Linux let alone KWord, I have little use for KWord in my corporate environment.
Which is a shame really as I rather like it - much snappier than OpenOffice (which incidentally also has refuses to open about half the MS Word docs I receive).

Next major version will sport a fresh new MS Word filter. In addition, you might want to file a bug with your offending MS Word docs at http://bugs.kde.org in order to help the developers.

Di you mean the latest wv2? I compiled wv2 and KWord the other day and at least some stuff works fine now. I guess I should do some more testing to help you guys out.

Regards,
Stephan

Yup, wv2. Should you like to help, then please report any kind of bugs with the filters, such as DOC files it can't open and so on.
