There was a thread on this a while back. One of the suggestions
was to export to XHTML. Edit the XHTML file by chopping off the initial
declaration, then import into OO. I have found that Abiword will import
directly the XHTML file w/o editing.
I have found that this works well with simple documents. Don't know
about complex things.
tex4ht contains a script, oolatex, that directly converts the tex file
to OO. At least on my Debian system, it is not in the execution path by
default.
HTH,
Alan
