Except for Word Pro, no need to reverse engineer the Lotus
file formats, they have written to us to give us the specification
of their file formats ;-). If I ever get that full time job, I'll take
care of the Lotus 1-2-3 filter for KSpread :).
But IIRC the format for Word Pro isn't available for some unsaid reason
(is that right, Werner?) so I guess it doesn't help you much :(
