Colin,

   As far as OpenOffice.org is concerned, open them in the linux version. Then
save them. If they were originally in the .sxw format, save them in the .odt
format (Open Document Text). The data files don't care on what platform
they're opened because it's all in ASCII text with xml markup.

   Don't know about moz. The bookmark file should be plain text.
