Piers Anthony, the well known science fiction and fantasy author, uses OO and sends his novels in with their format, I believe. Of course, the fact that his books are always best sellers is going to help keep the publisher from sending it back and saying, Manuscripts must be in .doc format.

His books over the years had several "Afterwards" where he spoke about his trials and tribulations getting Linux to be usable for him. (This goes back many years, when it was harder to use than it is these days.) He had decided that he really didn't like MS, and was looking for alternatives.

Of course, if some unknown author sent in a manuscript in OO format, it would probably be rejected.
