not sure if you got an answer so far... anyway it would have been a mail for 
koffice@mail.kde.org. Since I have the feeling you found a bug I cc'd 
koffice-devel@mail.kde.org.

Sadly I'm also not exactly sure about the answer. But my guess is that KOffice 
doesn't/shouldn't do inconsisstent stuff. I mean, KOffice shouldn't care what 
name my file gets and save it in the SELECTED format no matter what. I would 
also say that KOffice should ensure that the filename ending should be 
correct (according to the setting "automatically add ... extension" in the 
save dialog). So if (for whatever reason) I name my file "a.txt" it should 
become "a.txt.kwd" or a dialog should ask the user what todo (either save as 
ascii text file or as kword file).

Now, I just tried it. If you choose "a" and save as kword file it actually 
gets "a.kwd", if you choose "a.txt" it gets saved as "a.txt" which is wrong 
(= a bug). This is actually with version > 1.3 and < 1.3.1 so I don't know if 
the bug is fixed already.
