Converting kwd files into odts fails

  • 772

I'm trying to convert kwd files into odt using Kubuntu 11.10 but I'm getting this error:

$ koconverter llaves.kwd llaves.odt

koconverter(3712)/koffice (filter manager) KoFilterManager::filterAvailable: The library  ""  does not offer a check_ ""  function. 

Object::connect: No such signal KoFilterManager::sigProgress(int)

  1. Try open Your kwd file in Abiword and save as odt.

    Also try to use kword itself to save kwd as odt.

  2. The following works for me, to convert X.kwd to X.doc. It must be run in a GUI terminal emulator (eg xterm) rather than a text terminal.

    unzip  X.kwd  maindoc.xml
abiword  -t X.odt  maindoc.xml

    I then change the page size and margins in LibreOffice. I go to Format > Page..., set the width to 8.5in and height to 11in, and set each margin to 2, which means 2 cm.
