Hello,
I need to get a file into doc or docx format and can export from org into
ODT. However, the odt file cannot be opened by LibreOffice to convert. I can
open the file and it displays very well in both Calligra and Nisus Writer (on
mac). The problem is that Calligra cannot save in doc format and the file
crashes Nisus whenever I try to save it, whether I am trying to save in odt
or doc. I have figures and long tables in the document.
Is this an issue others have had or is it perhaps something within this file
that is causing the problem?

What version of Org and Emacs are you using?
M-x org-version RET
M-x emacs-version RET

Please try with Org 8.2.5 or later, an issue with multiple figures
not showing up in LibreOffice 4.1.x has been fixed.

Thank you, I will give this a try.

Thank you very much for the upgrade notice. The export to ODT from org-mode
works very well now. There are pluses and minuses it seems between pandoc and
org export.
Org export ->
1. Includes figures and tables
2. Includes pretty code mark-up
3. Lacks latex code export
4. Figure and table references are by section, sort of like old fashioned
latex.
5. Author list and title are in appropriate places
Pandoc html (from org) to odt ->
1. Includes tables
2. Does not include figures
3. Does not include pretty code mark-up
4. Has latex code properly exported (i.e., $\geq$ is >= sign)
5. Figure and table references are as 'expected', first table is 1, then 2,
etc.
6. author list is at end of file
I can cut and paste the heavy math latex portions from a pandoc export, but
is there a setting that I am missing about latex code being interpreted on
export to odt?
Thanks very much, Aric

(Better to list possible improvements to org->odt separately,
one improvement per thread, so that people can keep this in
their TODO lists.)

No, I don't think you miss anything here, sorry.

I just wanted to update that I am able to export latex equations from Org
mode files directly to ODT files via the MathtoWeb program. Works very well.
Removes one hurdle to using ORG and ODT instead of markdown.
thanks,

can you give more details about your setup?
This could well deserve a link to worg/org-hacks.org!

I am using the mathtoweb function and so far so good. Here is what I
have and what I understand of it, but I could be wrong about why it is
working.
The file has this header:
#+OPTIONS: LaTeX:t
I have this in my .emacs file:
;; to convert latex equations to mathml for ODT export
; uses mattoweb (http://www.mathtoweb.com/cgi-bin/mathtoweb_home.pl)
(setq org-latex-to-mathml-convert-command
"java -jar %j -unicode -force -df %o %I"
org-latex-to-mathml-jar-file
"~/.emacs.d/mathtoweb.jar")
Now it just works after updating to Java 7.
> This could well deserve a link to worg/org-hacks.org!
Yes, some of those files are outdated and it has been somewhat
challenging to find all the needed info in one place.
Thanks, Aric

Comparison is nice. Using pandoc to do org->odt is definitely
substandard.

You can suppress fontification with this variable.
C-h v org-odt-fontify-srcblocks
> 3. Lacks latex code export
Use dvipng or mathtoweb.
1. Dvipng
Pro: Less problematic
Con: Uses png images of the formulae.
2. MathToWeb
Pro: Uses MathML
Con: MathToWeb is new kid on the block. May prove to be problematic
with more complex formulae.
If ltx->mathml conversion is problematic for some equations, you can
create "ODF files" (OpenDocumentFormula files created with
LibreOffice Math) by hand and insert an Org link to them.

But tell me what you yourself want here.
I have some ideas on how xrefs can be improved for the section
titles. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-12/msg00585.html
I would like to hear what things you desire for xrefs to tables, figures
and equations.
You were making some remarks about position of captions...

Yes, this works very well for me. There is an issue with export of
$\geq$ that the author is looking into.
>> 4. Figure and table references are by section, sort of like old
>> fashioned latex.
For me, I am not writing a book or anything very long, just
manuscripts. Thus, I would prefer just to label each figure in order and
each table in order. I would therefore get Figure 1, Figure 2, etc and
Table 1, Table 2, etc in the order of appearance in the text. There is
no reference to section that way.
Maybe this is something that can be set in my odt reference file for
exporting? I have not yet investigated that.
Thanks, Aric

You are looking for this

Cool.
While you are at it, you can take care of export issues with non-utf-8
(spanish encoded) Org files as well.
