And it seems to not have tables, either.
For what it's worth, I read my resume, which I originally created in
Star Office format, exported to Word 97 .doc format, into abiword
as well as the newest koffice / kword I built from cvs last night. Abiword
reads it IMHO better than does kword, even though it doesn't have tables (it
centers the table information on mutilple lines.) Abiword is a bit old as
well; it was built from a ximian Gnome install I did a few months back and I
haven't updated yet.
Kword lost the tables entirely (they are pretty simple, just a two-element
table with company centered in one half of the table and the dates centered
in the other half. Kword shows part of the table at the top of the document,
then 0's followed by white space where the tables should go in the document.
Not only that, but the bullet list on the second page was obliterated into one
line of gibberish.
