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?

The .doc filter does not appear in the filters list. Is this normal?

Just select All files, and pick your MSWord doc. I just checked my install of KDE1.1 Beta2 and *.doc is not in the filter list, but KWord seems happy to open MSWord files. C.
