Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc3.4.1 OS: Linux koconverter always(?) assumes files with .doc extension are KWord files. MS-Word files are recognizable by proper string inside of file so koconverter could check them and turn on proper filter chains.
I cannot reproduce (with KOffice CVS HEAD). So may be it is the doc file that it is not recognised as MS Word file. For example, does Konqueror shows the correct icon? (I am moving the bug report to KOffice/General, as it does not seem to be a filter problem.) Have a nice day!
This is text from error window: An error has occurred while parsing the KWord file. At line: 4, column 24 Error message: unexpected end of file Konsole outpout: winword-filter: WARNING: Not supported: counter text without the depth in it: winword-filter: WARNING: Not supported: counter text without the depth in it: winword-filter: WARNING: Not supported: counter text without the depth in it: winword-filter: WARNING: Not supported: counter text without the depth in it: winword-filter: WARNING: Not supported: counter text without the depth in it: export-filter-lib: ERROR: Parsing Error! Aborting! (in ParseFile) export-filter-lib: Line: 4 Column: 24 export-filter-lib: Message: unexpected end of file This is a 10 day old CVS-HEAD. Konqueror recognizes doc as MS-Word and KWord itself opens file nicely.
Which koconverter command do you type exactly?

This is definitely not the case for all files. Mikolay, can you try to confirm with KOffice 1.4 or current svn and if it's still true attach your testcase?
Works for me now (3.5 branch and wv2-0.2.2)
