"Crap HTML" you say -- is the HTML OO.o produces as bad as the Word
generated code? I guess you can tidy it afterwards anyway if need be.
Yes, it is possible to use word processors _right_. I know a couple of
really clueful MS Word users who have developed a habit for using styles.
Armed with Word (and lots of Word knowledge) and Endnote for a
bibliography database, they actually seem to work pretty much the same way
as I do with LyX and Pybliographer.
The only difference is they have to split their big documents to 10 or 20
page chunks while working on them -- Word doesn't like big documents it
seems. :)
The OO.o file format is not as bad as Word either. You will be able to
read your OO.o documents in the future even if OO.o goes under.
