Reading kword documents

[Alan Chandler]

It appears that kword has disappeared from other than the stable
distribution.

I have some old files created in kword (.kwd extension) - and the only
way I could read them (and convert to .odt) was to install kword on my
lenny server, scp the file over to the server, ssh -X into it and use
kword to read the file and convert to .odt format.

There has to be an easier way.

Looks like you�re right, I can only find it in the experimental
distribution.

Couldn�t you have just installed the stable package? Either that or
compile from source. It also looks like Abiword has a KWord
import/export filter.
