Just out of curiosity: why OOo instead of AbiWord?

I knew someone would remember the previous touching on authoring. ;)

After you suggested using AbiWord I gave it a whirl. At first glance it
seemed to work nicely but after 2-3 times I noticed that it was really
chugging on dealing with my document which was a mere 25 pages of prose

Interesting.

Struggling to keep up with your typing? Slow page reformatting as
you scroll?

so far. Unless I planned on breaking it up by chapters and figuring out
how to merge it all together later I didn't see AbiWord being able to
deal with the 300-600 pages I am shooting for.

That seems reasonable...
