Subject:    kword problem opening MS Word doc files

If I click on an MS Word file, say foo.doc, in a Konqueror window, kword 
starts running, opens a window, then puts up an "Error - KWord" dialog that 
says "Could not open /home/gjditchf/foo.doc".  My .xsession-errors file says 
"koffice (filter manager): ERROR: Couldn't create the filter."

However, if I run Konsole and type "kword /home/gjditchf/foo.doc", kword opens 
the file and displays it without any difficulty.  If I click on a .kwd file 
in Konqueror, kword opens it without any difficulty, either.

Right now I'm having this problem with 'KWord 1.3.5 (Using KDE 3.4.0 Level "a" 
SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)'.  The SuSE 9.2 system was built by upgrading a 9.1 
system, so it isn't a fresh install.  The KDE installation is from SuSE's KDE 
Supplementary RPMs.  Everything is up-to-date as of a few hours ago; kword is 
from the koffice-wordprocessing-1.3.5-9 RPM, and konqueror is from 
kdebase3-3.4.0-12.  However, I have had this problem with SuSE 9.1 and 
various KDE 3.3 RPM sets from the Supplementary RPMs. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Do SuSE's supplementary RPMs work for you?
