I know that kword can import Office97 .doc files. I am able to do that with my "main" pc, but I am not with my portable PC. What I forgot to install? I just used a stardard installation on my portable.

Check the version of KOffice you installed (open KWord and click Help / About KWord. If you want to be able to open MS Office files, you should have version 1.1 (beta 3 now I think). If you have an older version - like 1.0 (this is the version on the SuSE 7.1 disks) you need to do an upgrade.

I use koffice version 1.1 beta 2, and kde 2.1.2. I updated everything with rpms from suse's ftp.

Odd.... that is the same combination I have on my system, and it works fine when I open MSWord docs in KWord. No special configuring needed when you use the SuSE rpms. Are you getting any error messages? What is actuall happening on the laptop when you try to open a MS Word document with KOffice? Does it try to open and fail part way through? Does it refuse to even try to open the file? Clayton
