Hi!
I looked now at MSWordView and also how it is used in AbiWord and think that it
is really not a hard task to implement a Word 97 import for KWord that way. But
as I have quite a lot of other things to do in KWord and KPresenter currently, I
think I will not find the time to implement that. So is there anybody out here
who wants to implement something like that. 

The concept of writing filters is quite easy in KOffice - they are standalone
programs which get a string which contains the content of the file (in the
foreign format) and return a string with the file in XML. E.g. take a look in
koffice/kword/filters/ascii or koffice/kspread/filters/komma.

I'm willing to help with informations about writing the filter and about the
KWord XML format, but I just have not the time to implement it now. So please,
if you are interested, speak up now!

Ciao, Reggie
