Eric,
I think you will be better off using a tool such as `latex2rtf'
(available as a package here in Debian Sid, maybe in Ubuntu too?) to
convert your LaTeX exporting output into a format OpenOffice can
understand. Unlike taking your chances with the copy/paste behavior of
apps that aren't Emacs (egads!), latex2rtf will try to preserve the
formatting in a fairly consistent (if far from perfect) way.
Best,
