I think right now we should try to do the following:
- Fields which are easy to map are replaced by KWord fields and all the 
formatting is dropped
- Fields we don't support are just copied over as formatted text, KWord 
doesn't know about their special "meaning". Of course the field command (the 
first part of a field) is erased for these fields.
