According to their website, versions 1.3 and 1.3.1 do have OO.O import/export filters, but these are incomplete. Actually, the KOffice team are currently migrating to using the OASIS file formats (i.e. OpenOffice.org) as native, and this effort includes comprehensive OO.O<->KO filters for backwards compatibility If you can't wait for the next release, and the 1.3 filters don't work well enough, there are work-arounds, such as saving in MSWord format (yuck, I suddenly feel so dirty), or good old RTF.
