Great idea, Sebastian.

The file which is responsible for the size of the .doc is immediately  
obvious when I rename this document.odt to document.zip.

It is a 2meg file, but unfortunately, as Mick appears to have  
predicted, it is called simply "Object 1" with no file extension.

Running `file` on it shows it to be a "Microsoft Office Document", but  
it's apparently not the kind you can open in Word.

I suspect this is going to prove a dead loss. Thanks for your help,  
though.
