I have written a complete 328 page
Java Certification book using StarOffice 5.2 for all the editing and text manipulation. Most of the editing was done under Lunux, with occasional use of Windows when I was travelling with my Laptop.
Nice little things I used were master document facility,left and right page numbering in the footers, Styles, Table of contents, index, chapter naming for headers and the occasional export of some quite nice HTML. I think that this illustrates that StarOffice can be used for some serious document processing tasks. I will be at the front of the queue when StarOffice 6 comes out.
Here is the page from where I am actually selling the book
