Two very important things:
* you must install KDE and KOffice in the same prefix
well, with 1.2 it's not so necessary anymore, it should work
even in different prefixes, but then the 2nd point applies even more:
* you can NOT have both koffice-1.1 and koffice-1.2 installed
at the same time (unless they are both OUT of the normal KDE
prefix. Otherwise KDE will load the libs for koffice-1.1 ...)

Yes, kword.so in the lib directory.

Uninstall KOffice-1.1

I don't know here. Check KControl, it should offer to switch to CUPS.
If it doesn't, recompile kdelibs and make sure it found cups alright.

Yes: get KOffice-1.2 to work, KWord is WYSIWYG in it ;-)
