Well not HTML directly, just the text displayed in the HTML page displayed by 
Konqueror and I found how to do it. I'd like to copy that text into a KWord 
file and format it for example with a title, adding page numbers and so on, 
but I don't think KWord has that DCOP calling, is it so? If it's not so I 
think in future KWord should have it. I could manage it when I learn 
something more about DCOP, but I think there are more urgent tasks to do :).
For example the OASIS one that could give KOffice very power to open file of 
OpenOffice and could be MS if they are going to use that standard.
I'm thinking how to create a calendar with KWord. No template available. Could 
be usefull do it. Or some code to share with Krita. For example inserting an 
image into KWord is too few. I want to modify the photo make it with more 
light, or darker so could be we need to share code with Krita that I think 
just do it. Or for example make simpler to use columns in KWord. There is a 
template to create a 2 column text, but could be funny if I use the current 
textFrame and get from it a text on 2 or 3 column with some click. I like 
KWord because is for KDE and I'd like to improve it, but my time is very very 
few and my knowledgement about KOffice API and how KOffice works is very very 
away from what you know about it. These are just idea. Maybe to create column 
is now simple and I have just to discover how to do it. I don't use KWord all 
the time but I use it. I use KPresenter. I hope to study KOffice to do all 
the tasks I listed, but I think that I'll never do it because I need to lear 
to much things.

Well, no, but I used it few minutes ago and it doesn't work:

Get main text frameset
 
fs=$(dcopobject "`dcop $appid Document-0 textFrameSet 0`")

Is it the right syntax?

I opened Kword by DCOP (idkword=`dcopstart kword`) then I opened a KWord file 
than:
fs=$(dcopobject "`dcop $idkword Document-0 textFrameSet 0`")
edit=$(dcopobject "`dcop $idkword $fs startEditing`")

and I got:
object not accessible
Error: '' is not a valid DCOP reference.

There is no command for KWord just to open and empty file or command for KWord 
to open a file in some other way?

All you too.
