Yes it seems I forgot to backport one of the changes related to the new .desktop
file reorganization (oops).

One solution is to get the fix from CVS (update with cvs update -rKOFFICE_1_3_BRANCH)
or to apply this patch:
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/koffice/lib/kofficecore/koQueryTrader.cc.diff?r1=1.63&r2=1.63.2.1



Another solution, as a workaround, would be to copy the X-KDE-Library entry 
(like X-KDE-Library=libkwordpart) from services/kwordpart.desktop
to kword.desktop (which is probably under applnk/Office/).
Just add the line anywhere inside kword.desktop (ok not on the first line :).
But you need to do the same for every koffice application (kspread.desktop,
kpresenter.desktop etc.). Sorry about this :(

Then run "kbuildsycoca" (or restart kde), and kword etc. should work.

Except for kthesaurus/kugar, those are not part of koffice at all :)
