My suggestion - either use LaTeX or use Microsoft Word under Crossover
Office.
This interformat conversion process is not a very reliable thing. You could
use Oo (and my sympathies if you are ultimately forced to use the Microsoft
Word Equation editor or the Oo version - people who use a lot of math should
either use LaTeX or TeXmacs) but you will not be able to use EndNote with it
(there is a web based equivalent called webnote (?) that allows non-Windows
users to use it).
