One man's opinion: OOo word processing (as opposed to presentation) is an abomination. If my only choice were OOo or LyX for the authoring process, understanding that either would end up as Winword, I too would author in LyX.

My WP5.1 authored "Troubleshooting: Tools, Tips and Techniques" has chapter page decorations you couldn't touch with WP for Windows, MS Word, OOo, LyX, or AFAIK straight LaTeX. Of course, with WP5.1, I had to fine tune the table of contents, fine tune every chapter beginning to start on an odd page, and fine tune certain other things. LyX makes most of the (non frontmatter) fine tuning a thing of the past. SteveT
