Just a quick note to let the list know that I am actively working on the 
Word filter for KOffice.

I have some early hacks going - I can read the text (but not yet the 
formatting) of small word97 and word95 files - but am concentrating on 
building infrastructure to abstract the obscure on-disk structures a bit. I 
hope to have something to check into CVS (with help from Werner, I hope :-)) 
in a few days time.

My initial goal is to be able to read the "raw text" contents of a file; 
probably the only formatting will be splitting into paragraphs. After that, 
I plan to tackle formatting, probably starting with "functional" formatting 
like:

    - lists

    - tables

Any ideas or suggestions welcome...

	Thanks, Shaheed
