That depends on what you're going to use the document for. OpenOffice 2 beta still has rendering problems with Indic scripts. Even though you can copy-paste, what you see in Gedit isn't going to be quite the same thing in OpenOffice 2. Oh, and as for OpenOffice 1.1, I don't think you'll achieve anything satisfactory with it.
