Is it possible to supply Word .doc and get back KWord's .kwd back? :-)
I hope file format in KWord 1.3 would be compatible with KWord 1.2, or at 
least it would be posisble to save docs in 1.2 format?

Purpose of my question is somewhat simple.
On my new job, I have got a set of product datasheets in Word .doc format 
(well, nothing new, it sems that in all companies people create datasheets in 
Word), and I evaluate now possibility to rework those in KWord.
In case one file imports ok - most likely, other files would be ok, too.

BTW:  It seems I have MS Office XP installed on office computer. So, if 
someone needs test file(s) from that beast - I can do it easily. :-)
On the first glance, file from Word 2000 loaded into Word XP and saved without 
modification, increases in size. So it can be interesting to check what crap 
Word XP adds to to the content.
