FC == Fedora Core? Sorry, I have no clue about Redhat's current stuff.

I only see a koffice rpm (and the corresponding *-devel and *-i18n rpms) and 
no libwv2 rpm on ftp.kde.org. libwv2 is an external library needed to import 
MS Word files. If it's not there you can still build KOffice, but then the MS 
Word import filter gets disabled.

Maybe the packager put libwv2 and KOffice in one rpm (then it should work), 
but I doubt that. I think the packager just forgot to package libwv2 and 
ignored the dependency. Please inform your packager about that issue.

Thanks,
Werner
