The tree structure shows only the status of the current file, nothing else. So 
for a new file, the tree will be nearly empty. (One "arrangement" and one 
"frameset", one "frame" and one "page".)

Yes!

No, KWord cannot access external files. Everything must be in the same 
document.

The example that you have choosen is only a  22 pages document containing 14 
sections, some pictures, some tables... But all is only one document, one 
file.

No!

Yes, with KWord 1.2, you can convert a KWord document into one HTML page. If 
you select "enhanced mode" in the HTML export filter dialog, you get a HTML 
page including CSS. Picture are stored in a sub-directory.

However be careful that:
- exporting frames (DTP mode) to HTML is not supported.
- importing HTML in KWord is not good.

For details about the filters, please look at the filter status pages:
