So I couldn't get PyODConverter to work---I kept getting an error about

UnoConv: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/
I can't get the LaTeX export option to work there, but one could use
this to convert from DOC (or anything else OOo can import) to ODT and
then use writer2latex to convert ODT to LaTeX.

Hi Richard,
In the conversion to OO, does unoconv preserve styles, or does it just convert
each application of each style to equivalent fingerpainting?
In the conversion from OO to LaTeX, have you found a way to have the
conversion preserve styles, or does it just convert each application of each
style to equivalent fingerpainting?
If a way is found to preserve style application all the way through the
conversion, that's a huge win, or as VP Biden would say, "a big bleepin deal!"
I know that writer2latex (which exists standalone and as as an OOo
extension) will preserve at least some styling, such as section
headings. What else it will do, I don't know. But it is under active
development and so requests could be made. But I would guess there are
some limits here. Getting something to convert OOo styles to LaTeX
styles (commands or environments) would be non-trivial.
