I checked OpenOffice, but I'm also a fan of XyWrite 3. This is a DOS program, vintage 1988 or so, about as user-unfriendly as it can possibly be, but fantastically flexible and fast -- I run it on an old Pentium laptop to avoid the distractions of the net. Nowadays though I tend to use Linux for drafting, so OO is it. The latest version of OO Writer is very nice. The small size of *.odt files means you can keep every draft of everything you write.

Mark: I hope this poll is a sign that the Smashwords meatgrinder is being prepared for more sophisticated uploads than the Style Guide presently recommends!
