Thanks to Dan and Carsten,
I now have this:
(defun mwp/push-latex-to-odt ()
"takes the exported tex file from org-mode and converts it to odt,
then launches openoffice"
(shell-command
(format "mk4ht oolatex %s.tex"
(file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name))))
(shell-command
(format "ooffice %s.odt &"
(file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name)))))
(add-hook 'org-export-latex-final-hook
'mwp/push-latex-to-odt)
which works fine. The only issue is that the first shell command,
mk4ht oolatex, sometimes takes a while to finish processing & would be
nice to have running in the background. Should just write a shell
script that runs the two commands, and then fork that process? Or is
there a slightly more elegant way that keeps all of the programming
contained in a lisp file?
Thanks again,
matt

Hi Matt,
It's either start-process or start-process-shell-command you want I
think. Also, I believe we may have hit on not-quite-the-correct export
hook. This seems to work:
(defun mwp/push-latex-to-odt ()
"takes the exported tex file from org-mode and converts it to odt,
then launches openoffice"
(let* ((file-name (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name)))
(output-buffer "*latex-to-odt output*")
(cmd (format "mk4ht oolatex %s.tex && ooffice %s.odt"
file-name file-name)))
(message "Converting latex to odt")
(start-process-shell-command
"latex-to-odt" output-buffer cmd)))
(add-hook 'org-export-latex-after-save-hook
'mwp/push-latex-to-odt)
