Kword saves in a Speshul KWord File Furhmat(tm), interpretable by Kword only.
To save files so that they can be opened by MS Word, try:
1) Saving in MS Word format (Save as... select 'MS Word' from the menu)
2) Saving in RTF (rich text format), a MS format almost indistiguishable from 
Word native format (.doc)
3) Saving as a PDF (if possible), 
4) Saving as an HTML file (anywhere from some to most of your special 
formatting will be lost)
4) or saving, as you guessed, as a plain text file (your special formatting will 
be lost).
