Those wishing to improving KDE should have a good look at the Corel OS. I don't use it because of lack of sound support, but it had a dynamite file manager, automatically detected the three windows machines on my home network and allowed me to access them directly all from file manager like a built in network neighborhood, all without having to configure arcane Samba commands. KWord cannot be considered by heavy duty, all day writers like myself until it is more Wordperfect like, can import and export WP files, has WP like (i.e. simple) macro language, has, like WP, ability to open window to see and correct formatting codes. Good luck, long way to go. Trying to look like or act like MS Word is the wrong direction.
