Came this utterance fomulated by Mark Potter to my mailbox:

OpenOffice.org has more control of styles than MSWord. You can set
styles on individual pages, lists, tables, TOC's etc, even having
portrait and landscape page styles in the same document.

Any template can be modified, and you are welcome to submit
modifications or alternatives to the documentation project.

I disagree, that is the trap that many making suggestions fall into.
Making it more like MSWord means that it can never be better than
MSWord. It will always be playing catch-up to try to look like the
latest improvement to the competitor. Are we trying to make a better app
or an also-ran?

Many power users (i am not a power user) already think it is better.
