I am surprised that tables do not work at all. They were 
supposed to work in Koffice 1.2.x (I cannot check now.)

Otherwise, I had not any time to work on the HTML export for 
KOffice 1.3 and I cannot plan if I will have any time for 
KOffice 1.4. So you might become the new maintainer for KWord's 
HTML export filter.

As for text frames, it is a problem of all KWord export 
filters, including plain text. If you can find a better 
solution that any of those given in the two KOffice mailing 
lists, it would surely be a great advance, also for the 
OOWriter export filter.

Have a nice day!

Well, the usefulness of that filter is highly objective. For me 
it's 
useless, since it exports less than the ascii export filter. 
Why less? 
Try exporting any table - you'll get nothing, not even the text 
from 
the table is exported, it's just ignored. Furthermore try to 
insert a 
new text frame - its contents will be appended at the very end 
of the 
html file completely neglecting its placement in the original 
document. 
To see all those and a few others try exporting the following 
two page 
document to html : http://www.automatix.de/~zack/test.kwd . So 
between 
dissapearing and missplaced text I don't think there's a lot 
that could 
be broken.

Not in the best mood or have you been watching a lot of drama 
lately? 
You sounded like my fix would cause serious regressions and 
cost you 
days of forced work. In fact it fixed probably 5 out of 10 
cases where 
the bug occurred and didn't cause ANY regressions. If something 
doesn't 
break anything and still fixes some occurrences of a bug - it's 
still a 
fix albeit not perfect. Anyway, I fixed it properly in the cvs.
