Even though I never had those problems, nor did my daughters had them when 
they used KWord for their school assignments, we are aware that KWord needs 
improvement. It may be relevant to know which version of KWord you have 
tried -- there have been small improvements in frame handling in the 1.5 
series. And for 2.0, a lot of work is already being done to make frame 
handling as smooth as the proverbial silk :-).

That sounds like a local problem -- if I look at 
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/koffice/kword/ I don't see any problems.
