  3) What is expected to happen using LibreOffice Writer via the
  Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/780381/+attachment/2122328/+files/JHK-6060%20chisel%20and%20plane%20blade%20sharpener.doc
  && lowriter -nologo JHK-6060\ chisel\ and\ plane\ blade\ sharpener.doc

  is the file opens successfully.

  4) What happens instead is a window pops up noting:

  LibreOffice 3.3
  Read-Error.
  This is not a WinWord97 File.

  WORKAROUND: Use Abiword.

  apt-cache policy abiword
  abiword:
    Installed: 2.8.6-0.3build1
    Candidate: 2.8.6-0.3build1

  WORKAROUND: Use Word 2003 in WINE via the Terminal:

  wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE"
  JHK-6060\ chisel\ and\ plane\ blade\ sharpener.doc

  Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (11.5612.5606)

  WORKAROUND: Use WordViewer.
