I found he doesn't even offer to save as .sxw when I load an HTML

It seems to me that the OOo developers can easily address this, and
it'd be a rather nice feature to have.
While we're on this subject, I should point out that latex2html makes
a raft of .png files which are external to the .html file. They should
all get smashed together into a single M S Word file (yuck). I wonder
if one could avoid .png and exploit .eps files when I am doing
\includegraphics{file.eps}.
