KOffice Filters Status (KOffice 1.3)
Which filters are there?
Many KOffice applications support the filter architecture
(i.e.: they are able to use filters for file conversion.) The filters are not perfect
and some not even done. The status of the current filters is listed below, sorted per
application.
Note: this document is about KOffice 1.3.

Joining the developers
There are many filters that we would like and many filters that need improvement, although sadly we do not have enough developers working on KOffice.
