Ami pro is unlikely to export to PDF -- it was an excellent word processor in the early nineties, much better than MS Word of that date, with a strikingly clean and attractive interface. Later rewritten, and, I believe, largely destroyed, as Lotus Word Pro.
which will be fairly accurate.
Ami Pro was rewritten, and Word Pro was different - but much superior.
It is still IMHO a better Wp than OOo.
The OOo designers would do well to have a look at it.
In particular
* the properties box is context sensitive and modeless
(i.e. changes made to say para style are reflected in the document immediately
without having to close the box down)
* also, a table will allow the cursor to sit either side of it.
This means there does not have to be a blank paragraph after a table,
and so a table can fill a page without forcing a blank page to follow
(but perhaps I am missing a trick on OOo here?)
* and LWP allows dockable dialog boxes - cf the "find this page" dialog in Firefox 1.0.4
However, OOo is almost there.
(although from what I can see of OOo2 this is taking a step away with the proliferation of toolbars)
