Cool :)

Well, it's all QTestDocument can do :D

Is it better? Last time I checked it did not have seach support.

No clue about the application one to be honest, for the rest just 1 bigger to 
whatever the "ooo" generator has.

Right, so no text search...

I wonder if you should make your calligra-odt be over our OOO one, it may be 
worse in some/most of the cases, but at least you can search for text, which 
is also pretty important :/

Cool :)
