Sorry, I forgot to tell how I had tested!

I was trying to close KDE Bug #15597.

So I quote bug #15597:

<QUOTE>
My simple document looks like (using template A4):
--------------
<head1> Head 1
<head2> Head 2
<Head3> Head 3
<standard> standard text
-----------------
</QUOTE>

And when you save this document in non-KWord file formats, you get a document with no \
textual content! :-(

Subject:	WARNING: KWord's export filters are BROKEN! (RE: New KWord in HEAD)

WARNING: This change of file format has broken all export filters in KWord (you can \
just save in the KWord format!)

I am clarifying it because David Faure's message is not clear about it! But I have \
just tested. :-(

Subject:	New KWord in HEAD

Since some days (maybe a week), the new QRichtext-based KWord
is in the HEAD branch of CVS. 

(...)

One important point is that the file format has slightly changed: most of it
has stayed the same (say, 90%), but we've finally got rid of this
"same distance expressed in 3 units" stuff, and a few other illogisms.
Of course KWord can read previous versions of the file format,
but this is important for authors of export filters : the XML given by
KWord to the filter has changed so the filter needs an update.
No that important for authors of import filters, since KWord can cope with
the old format. A small cleanup can't hurt though.
