This problem surfaced recently in a thread on oooforum: 
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=62582 .  An issue has 
been filed with openoffice.org: 
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81714

Unfortunately, it is not only Open Office which is not reading the 
styles in the document created by KWord.  Star Office (admittedly from 
the same source) and Lotus Symphony (from earlier Open Office code) also 
fail to interpret the styles in the KWord document - see the following 
post in the oooforum thread: 
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=251109#251109

Another post in the thread reports that KWord correctly reads styles in 
a document created by Open Office : 
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=250765#250765

All of which could mean one thing or the other.  I suspect the problem 
lies with Open Office not being able to apply open document styles 
created by another application but perhaps more collaboration is needed 
between providers of software using open document standards.

Does anyone have any relevant knowledge of the matter?  The test 
document is at http://files.boxstr.com/8591/Examples/TestKWord.odt .  I 
have downloaded a copy and can upload it to another location if preferred.
