Hi, I was having issues exporting to a "doc" file with this in my init file: (setq org-export-odt-preferred-output-format "doc")
After some debugging, it appears my "soffice" command takes a single dash (-), not double dash (--) for command line arguments. When I change to "soffice -headless -convert-to %f%x -outdir %d %i" in org-odt.el, things seem to work. I am running org-mode 7.9.3e on Emacs 24.1.50.1 and LibreOffice 3.3.4 on Ubuntu 11.04. Not sure if this is specific to me or not, but it should be fixed in org-mode. Thanks! -- Vinh
