[ILUG] [Q] editing an M$-Word(?) drawing with OO.org - how?

[ILUG] [Q] editing an M$-Word(?) drawing with OO.org - how?

 I've got an M$-Worthless document (`.doc') which
 contains a diagram (of the boxes with labels and
 connecting lines vaguely flowchart-ish variety).
 I've no clew how (e.g., what (M$?) program) was
 used to draw it.

 I've converted the document into `.odt' using
 OpenOffice.org 2.3, and have been editing the
 text Ok.  (Not too happily since I hate WYSIAYG,†
 but that's a different issue!)

 However, there is an error in the diagram (two
 of the labels (text in boxes)) is wrong), so I
 want/need to modify it.  OpenOffice.org doesn't
 let me; all I seem to be able to do is select
 the entire diagram as a single object.  ;-\

 I have managed (via copy-and-paste into OO.org
 Draw and then File→Export...) to save the image
 (as a PNG), which I can (in theory) modify with,
 e.g., The Gimp.  But it'll be hard to match the
 font (of the other labels) et al., so I'm not
 too keen on taking that approach.

 Any ideas / Suggestions / ... ?

cheers!
