The problem is that it was known working with KOffice 1.1. We have to test it 
in KOffice 1.2 and in particular with the filters (both Kontour's filters and 
KWord's MS Word import filter.) So in either case, it is a unknown state.

However, using the old version gives at least a stable version of the main 
program (except if any change in one of the KOffice libraries gives any 
problem.)
