There's a big difference between WRITING a novel in OOo and LAYOUTING
a novel in OOo. The original poster asked about the latter. You can
write a novel in any software you please--notepad.exe if you insist.
Someone is then going to have to layout your stuff for printing.
I'm not sure how well suited OOo is for the task of desktop
publishing. As an earlier poster said, you will probably want
something like Scribus if you want to create something that can go
straight to the printers.
I've done some work in that way, novelizing past years of continuity for
the souvenir booth of the New Jersey Renaissance Kingdom. OOo does the
job pretty well. The biggest annoyance is that the "brochure" option for
printing is not persistent. OOo can do running heads, chapter heads,
special first-page-of-chapter formatting, front-matter pages (with
roman-numeral pagination), and all the other functions needed.
