working on saving to multiple formats

[Ryein Goddard]

In 16.04 calligra can save to word in words, author. Sheets can't yet
though. From what I can see Brain Dump doesn't save at all. Plan still
needs saving functionality for word.

I haven't gotten a source version built because I wanted to talk with you
all first to check.  I'd really love to help getting Kubuntu to a fully
pure Qt/KDE state.
