The original odt file.  Copied from linux to dos partition.

Maybe I can extract the png files with DOS unzip.

I saw a list of files go by, ONE of which ended in .png and started in the 
same long list of numbers used by the 11 pngs produced by unzip.
No background images.  This was produced by a scanner, scanned images 
only.  Maybe it produced something like a multipart tiff file?

I used an online convertor for docx one time.  I think zoho.com will also 
display them for you (with a fast connection and computer).

Here I thought MS had a monopoly on garbage files.
