That would be really great. I have added support for exporting Orgmode buffers to OpenDocumentText. The module is in elisp and has no external dependencies. The changes are in my private branch [1]. I encourage folks reading this message and in this thread to try out my changes and give me feedback. It was WIP when this thread was in progress. Now I believe org-odt.el is quite usable, relatively stable and undergone some testing. Footnotes: [1] Refer http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#convert-to-open-office --
