Seeing the quotes, it must be the translation of the article of LinuxUser 
03.2004 (or vice-versa).

The elipsed part of the quote states that it was tested with tables. But 
tables are not only a problem of the filters but first of KWord.

That is the part that I would like that someone explains it to me.

As far as I know, KPresenter has an import filter for OOImpress. And it has 4 
stars in the filter status page.

So how does this fit together with the critic?

That is also something I do not like in the article. It has been written a few 
times that Kexi and Krita would not be part of KOffice 1.3. So why do as if 
we would have promised them to be in.
