Thanks to Brian & Rory for their help. They gave 4 answers: find the
original DOC/ODT/etc file, use the PDF-to-DRAW facility of AOO, scan the
PDF, or hammer on the keyboard.

Another alternative to the last two options is to "save the PDF as a text

I use Google drive for conversion.{Not the desktop version.} I copy or
upload the file directly to Google drive.

Then I select convert and down load, choose the type of file wanted, then
download.
