Are you running on Fedora? There are quite a few import and export filters for 
other file formats included with KOffice, but Fedora makes that a separate 
installation package.

We're not spending much time on the import and export filters for KOffice 
2.0 -- we're just trying to improve our odf support. However, recently 
Microsoft apparently released the file format specifications for their old 
binary file formats, so volunteers could start improving our import/export 
filters for, for instance, .doc.

(Of course, our .doc import filter was already pretty good, it was just that 
KWord couldn't correctly handle to contents of those documents, like tables.)
