I can't even import PDF.

I'm just given three supported types to choose from:

. OASIS OpenDocument Text
. OpenDocument Text Template
. KWord Document

"All Supported Types" doesn't work either, it just doesn't see the PDF.

I even tried dragging and dropping it in ... no joy.

Renaming the extension to odt let's me at least see the filename, but
when I try to import it, I get "Not a valid KOffice file".

Is there some additional dependencies I should install?

Using KWord 1.6.2 on FC6.
