Hi,

I have to invoke a filter from within an OLE filter. Specifically, in the 
winword97 filter, I need to invoke the WMF filter. Here, the WMF filter 
should cause a killustrator kpart to be embedded in the kword document.

The problem is that koFilterManager expects to invoke filters in the context 
of a KoDocument (mainly to display the progress bar when it is not the 
destination of the filter). There are two solutions I can think of:

1. Pass a koDocument into olefilter for just this purpose. PRO: preserves 
koFilterManager architecture. CON: koDocument is not currently used by any 
OLEfilter.

2. Allow koFilterManager to live with a NULL koDocument assuming the filter 
does not need it. PRO: allows KoFilterManager to be used as the basis of a 
non-GUI filter application. CON: not sure if this is the right thing to do.

Which of these makes more sense? David, Werner?

Thanks, Shaheed
