I finally got around to trying this. Here are my thoughts:
1. Damn this is good !
2. Yay !!
3. Oh C-c C-e O opens the ODT file in both Emacs and LibreOffice. I wouldn't
have expected that. Would have thought it would open in LibreOffice only.
C-c C-e D exports to PDF and opens a PDF viewer. It does not open up the
PDF file in Emacs (either as a plain buffer or a DocViewer buffer).
4. Its nice to be able to open the ODT file in archive mode. Not
sure how I'd use it
but its a good feature.
5. There were other issues but that had to do with LibreOffice rather
then org-mode :)
cheers,
mehul
