koffice-1.2.1-15 can't open msword doc

[sean darcy]

n kword I try to open a word file -test.doc. It doesn't show up in the open 
file dialog box - even though All Supported Files is chosen.

If I type in test.doc, I get a dialog box that says:

Could not import file of type application/x-msword

I thought koffice had an msword filter. Wrong? The file open dialog box 
shows msword as a choice.

Is a filter missing?

I can't answer your question WRT koffice, but kif you have abiword
or OpenOffice installed you can load msword documents with them...

HTH,
