Uhm, no, don't post them here. You could stick them in pastebin or
something and post a link to it here. Those interested (and smarter than

It's annoying, I know. I had issues where documents written with
LibreOffice and exported from it to Word format couldn't be re-imported
by LibreOffice. Never did get that sorted. Had to open them with Word
on a Mac, then save them, then copy them back to the Linux machine. THEN
they could be re-imported. Absolutely looney.
