Hi :) Surely just copy&"paste special" as unformatted text. Then apply styles. Avoid trying to be too close to the original if that is possible.
It's good if you can create an excuse so that people see your new form as an improvement over the old one. Easy ones for LIbreOffice is that the new form is more internally consistent, ie doesn't change fonts or sizes so much. Maybe make it all 11point font-size "to increase readability" (shouldn't that be "more legible"?).
