I did not mean to give offense.  I was just noting (perhaps overly harshly) that the document, in it's current form, is very difficult to work with due to the use of text boxes and no enclosing text content (definitely not the intent of text boxes in ODT).
Libre Office (or any word processor) is a fairly poor tool choice for this type of ultra-specific and precise layout positioning; XHTML with CSS3 is somewhat better for that purpose; SVG is even better; and a good page layout tool such as Scribus is best.
