So, why we are talking about using OOo file format? KWord and OOWriter
are different. May be it would be wiser to not to restrict KWord to the
foreign file format?
Again, there are so many problems with this, so the time required on
adopting KWord to OOo file format can be better used to improve own
filters and/or libraries (vw2?).
