qt-copy is better IMHO but this has nothing to do with your problem...

Try loading your text file with the other two options in the "End of 
Paragraph" group i.e. "Sentence" and "Old method" (not "As is") in the 
"KWord's Plain Text Import Filter" dialog.  They are not perfect but I think 
they will do what you want.

I can see Nicolas smiling here because I once told him that these modes where 
"exotic" and "useless" :-)  But now it seems like I'm wrong!

Really?  The filter reads one character at a time, last time I checked...
You should try loading the 20MB DNA sequence associated with bug #45973 :-)
(actually the real problem with that bug is the amount of memory that KWord 
takes up but anyway I'm getting OT again :)).
