Work In Progress by Dennis Roczek (talk) 2016-01-02T03:05:52 (UTC) : This is a work in progress. All results have been found by web sources, not by actually import and exporting documents. Especially the password protected files have to be revisited by manual tests, see also LOWN/4#Password-protected documents with LibreOffice!
