Unless some of the KOffice developers are still reading here, I recommend asking on the koffice mailinglist.

However, as far as I know, the import filter for Microsoft Word really depends on the document. Some work pretty well, others fail completely.

As for the Chinese input, I think this is already handled at Qt level and uses the XIM input module.

About importing MS Office documents:

Spreadsheets work fine, functions are not imported (simple +/-,... should work).
Presentations work very bad.
Word Documents work rather well in most cases, but no pictures are imported. This filter is based on wv2.

Exporting to .doc and .xls is not implemented. But you can export to rtf and csv.

With the upcoming KOffice 1.4 I would recommend importing all your data with OpenOffice 2.0 and saving them in the Open Document format. Most of the KOffice 1.4 components (KWord, KSpread, KPresenter,...) support this format. If you have to do this only once with your "old" data, then it should be ok. With OOo 2.0 and KOffice 1.4 it is generally a good idea to use OOo for converting from and to MS Office.
