If you do simple text with paragraphs, some mixed fonts and little else, then OO.o is fine. It gets hairy when you have complex tables, fill-in forms, images and stuff like that. For straight text there are no problems.
For the simple spreadsheet application you describe, most anything will work. csv is a standard format, and simple tables with strings they all do.
I'd personally do the Perl script in awk, but I'm old school.
