The easy way would be to remove KOffice, since it also confuses the
users by beeing the default suite to open MSOffice documents, even
though it's not good at the task. But we've been told to many times that
many schools ar using KOffice rather than OOo. But seeing is beleiving,
and I've only seen 1 school out of ~40 that are using KOffice.
