More information, very strange behaviour: Document on the network opened in kword first is readable in kword, and one can copy it to the gnome/debian desktop I use on my laptop as my everyday workspace, where it is perfectly normal, I can open it in oo, abi, kword, etc.
However, if I try to open it in oo first, I get the prefromatted text issue, as described previously. Then, any attempt to copy the document to my desktop results in a totally blank file, o kb. Worst of all, the file is destroyed on the host machine, meaning that anything one tries to open with oo across my network is destroyed.
