   So in what context *do* you know about Windows?

   You don’t know how to find LibreOffice? There is this thing called   
   “web search” which, while it might not be as convenient as integrated   
   OS-level package search, should still lead you in the right direction,   
   eventually.   
      
   Also, I didn’t need to actually download your reference file, at   
   least, not as a separate manual step: I just pointed loimpress   
   directly at the URL, and it loaded immediately.

   It was likely “solved” long before, it’s just nobody else could be   
   bothered with your pointless challenge.
