I just happened to notice OpenOffice Writer in the subject line here. That's
what I used to finish off my book, when I got tired of dealing with the raw
HTML. The results were good enough for my publisher, but I don't think I'd
go that route next time. The only benefit here was that it made my job of
inserting umpty scadillion images easier than working with raw HTML. I think
it made every other part of the job harder.
