I think the inline styles fool the ADE now.
If you open up calibre and then open the preferences without selecting any books, followed by choosing "conversion", you can put in 'master' settings for your epub conversions such as all the changes you made in your conversion. Then when you go to convert in the future, these settings including your css will be applied without you needing to put these settings in every time.

I think you can really clean up your workflow to make it much easier for yourself. As I mentioned before, if you save your file from open office as html and then import into calibre for conversion, you could probably save some time.
