Werner & David:

 I could not use your instructions exactly as I have my kde  and koffice=20
installed in a user directory. I don't want to install cvs HEAD in=20
root.  here are the problems I had:

 I used the tarball.

 Well  my kde CVS head is installed in an account  /home/kword/kde-copy.=20
I have the bin/ , lib/ and include/  directories there. I used=20

=2E/configure --bindir=3D/home/kword/kde-copy/bin/=20
--libdir=3D/home/kword/kde-copy/lib=20
--includedir=3D/home/kword/kde-copy/include/=20

for configuring wv2. wv2 compiled and installed ( in=20
/home/kword/kde-copy ) just fine.

 I did this.

It was there in the configure step:
checking for wv2-config... /home/kword/kde-copy/bin/wv2-config

I also had this in koffice/config.h:
/* Defines if your system has the wv2 library */
#define HAVE_WV2 1

I removed the ole_winword97_import.desktop

I did this and reran kbuildsycoca

 I tried to open a basic MSWord file (Office97) and I got "could not=20
import file of type application/msword".  I moved my ~./kde directory=20
and restarted the KDE desktop but Kword would still would not load the=20
MSWord docs. Also previews of MSword docs in Konqueror give a similar=20
error message. Do I have to allow wv2 to install in /usr/bin for the=20
filters to work ? I am really hesitant to do that.

 I have this for my directories and path:
export QTDIR=3D/home/kword/qt-copy
export KDEDIR=3D/home/kword/kde-copy
export PATH=3D$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=3D$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

 I am using Koffice  Head on KDE Head.
