[snip] I've published six e-books on Smashwords and this requirees submitting them as Word.doc files. I did this successfully with oowriter/libreoffice; I wouldn't say it was enjoyable but it was possible. In fact, I've now published an e-book (Making Word.doc Files in Linux) which explains how I managed it. Several of these books were originally Lyx files and I converted these to rtf for Libreoffice.
