Be careful that KSpread's filter a document-centered and not file-centered. So 
unlike KWord that still needs the OOWriter filter, KSpread it is a little 
different. KSpread needs the OOCalc filters transformed as default loading/
saving and needs the current loading/saving transformed as new KSpread 1.3 
filter.

There is at least still plenty to do on the KWord 1.3 import filter. I suppose 
that David has still plenty to do on the KWord 1.3 export filter (currently 
still known as OOWriter export filter) and he has also probably plenty to do 
on the loading/saving in KWord.
