it appears that the settings menu actions have been commented out of kword/part/KWView.cpp, and there is not a dialog for settings/preferences, like there is for kspread (kspread/part/dialogs/PreferenceDialog.cpp)

Thank you for your bug report or feature suggestion.

The "KOffice" application suite is no longer maintained, and all tickets are now closed.

We recommend to switch to the "Calligra" application suite, which has replacements for all unmaintained KOffice applications:

- KWord was replaced with Calligra Words
- KPlato was replaced with Calligra Plan

For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calligra_Suite

Calligra Words is a complete joke!

I've been in IT 30 years and with the exception of Windows ME, haven't 
seen anything sadder.

Development of Calligra Words is slow, probably because there are working alternatives available, e.g. LibreOffice Writer.

Still, Calligra developers are continuously improving it, so if you have specific issues, please report them separately.
