I am glad to see that I am not alone in my disappointment with such a limited ability to make a structured document in any version of Word from OO. IMHO, it is a shame because so much of OO is what I need, but the inability to export reliably to structured documents in Word has me now looking for a replacement to OO.
It also leaves me doubting that I would pay again for an upgrade to get a function that should be included in a $70 program. Not a great value, folks.

Plus it does lots of other stuff. Columns, drop downs, styles, etc. Great list keeper.
OTOH, it's a bear to get OUT of OO and into Word to MAKE that structured document when/if you decide you need to.
SIGH. It's never easy, is it?
