Just to clarify again: I've run both files through wpd2text - and the results did not seem useful at all (see the linked file). However, if you want me to run them through wpd2odt, then the results were very useful indeed. I'll check them later. See the results here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/271144/CharTests.zip And wpd2html produced some very impressive-looking results: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/271144/testwp5.html http://dl.dropbox.com/u/271144/character6.html As I said, I'll have to check these later this weekend.
