The result was viewed with libreoffice (version 4.2.8.2). Unfortunately, the conversion did not go well because there were many out-of-place lines and characters and even several 'Manual Column Break' values in blue ink, which, of course, appeared no where when the original .pdf was viewed with my Document Viewer application (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince).
In short, zamzar is no silver bullet :( -regards, Larry
