If you leave out headers/footers and if you update to get the recent fixes from
Laurent for sticky objects, feel free to report any problems.
Most of KPresenter's features should work again now, it's time to look at bugs.

This doesn't mean we're done adding features, KOffice is far from feature-frozen,
but fixing any regressions before moving on is always a good thing to do.

Yes we need to reduce the number of initial toolbars. I think Thomas Zander
plans to come up with a more detailed suggestion for the UI.

I was wondering if there was a demand for it.
This shouldn't be too hard to add - BTW, any volunteers ? The code is
in libkotext already, you just need to add load/save code from KWord and
the UI for it. The style editor is in libkotext already too !

OUCH. Really ? That's a bug, and that must be looked at with priority.
Can you send me such a file ? [Not to the list, might be too big]

Nope, that's about other file formats.
