> The original document file (I think - I can't test it)

Interestingly, I can open this just fine in LibreOffice 5. The alignment is slightly off, but the graphics appear just fine.

It appears to be a "MacWrite II document" according to http://mark0.net/onlinetrid.aspx

Thanks for the link! I had tried running `file` on it, with no success ;)

It is definitely not MacWrite since it doesn't conform to the format:

Looks like it is actually Word for Mac:

Holy crap you're right.

How'd you think to open it in libreoffice? I used file on it, and all it said was 'data'. Sure enough as soon as I changed it to .odt it opened up fine.

I just figured it was worth a try. I didn't have to change the suffix, just selecting LibreOffice in my browser's "Open With" dialog seems to have worked fine.
