Filtering M$ Word -- 3:59 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Several of the major open source word processing projects (Abiword, wvWare, and KWord) are going to be working together to create import and export filters for M$ Word documents. As much as the Word format is an albatross, it is used by most everyone. Even if Linux word processors can offer better formats, they still need to support Word for most businesses to seriously think about using them. Thanks Slashdot.

On a personal note, a WordPerfect filter would be nice too.
