Great idea, Sebastian. The file which is responsible for the size of the .doc is immediately =20= obvious when I rename this document.odt to document.zip. It is a 2meg file, but unfortunately, as Mick appears to have =20 predicted, it is called simply "Object 1" with no file extension. Running `file` on it shows it to be a "Microsoft Office Document", but =20= 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, =20 though. Stroller.=
