actually... yes, it's possible, since KWord supports Word 
importing, and so do KSpread with Excel and KPresenter with 
Powerpoint...
anyway, if you have a complex document, you might loose some 
formatting attributes, since importing/exporting towards 
Microsoft products is unfortunately far from being perfect...

if you want to switch to the Linux world, please consider 
converting your documents to the OpenOffice (Writer, Calc, 
Impress) formats, since they are probably going to become a new 
(free, multiplatform) standard and KOffice is going to support 
them (maybe better than Microsoft formats?)...

thanks :)
