Before I start, let me tell you the little story, how I got the idea for writing this article. When I wrote my first article for OSNews, one of the screenshots I included showed my diploma thesis. I merely wanted to show that OpenOffice.org in Fedora Core 2 features native icons, nothing more.

what is it that latex does that is so much better then this?
Cross-referencing in OpenWriter kinda sux. Time and time again, I've tried to give a figure or table a meaningful name, but when I need to insert a cross-reference I still have to know the number of the figure - with LateX you can only use (meaningful) names.
The way figure placement is handled in OpenWriter is horrible, and the fact that (as far as I know) you cant have tables in a float or frame just turns me off.
The whole layout of OpenWriter is just like the dreaded M$ Word - good for trees, bad for paper producers and typographical rules.
OpenWriter/Word are wonderful for small quick tasks but other than that...
Great article
