Aloha Alan,
It would probably be fairly easy to add a variable such as
org-latex-to-oo-process patterned after org-latex-to-pdf-process and
then export to oo through oolatex directly from org-mode. That might
get rid of the clumsiness you're experiencing.
I'm still curious how one generates a bibliography from keys in the ODT
world, or if it is possible.
All the best,
Tom
