You are right that the first frameset always is the main frameset (when in WP
mode). This never posed a problem since KWord creates the framesets most of the
time; and the filter writers never said anything about this either.
Hmm. Maybe I should order the framesets so headers etc are positioned later 
then the main text frameset.. Don't know if that is what is needed though..
