I have written numerous articles for publication using OpenOffice with no problem. I think that you must first determine what format is required/supported by the publisher (DOC, DOCX, ODT, etc). If they directly support ODT, you are finished. if not, then you simply save your file in a supported format and submit that.

There may be a few formatting issues when saving in a different format, but, these usually require complicated constructs not used when submitting for publication; for example, worrying about precise placement of a figure relative to a paragraph. These sorts of things are usually changed by an editor using fancy programs to get the layout as they want it, so it has, in my experience, not mattered.

Even if it did matter, support is sufficiently good, that it still does not matter (in general).

I have an article I am writing that is required to be written in

submit the Article in the open office text system will they be able to
use it without any problems?

thank you
