I do this a lot because, unfortunately, most of my collaborators
insist on word processors such as OO and Word.  What works for me
(with structure, emphasis, tables, figures and footnotes) is:

org document
 -> export as HTML (C-c e h)
 -> open in OOo 
 -> select and copy all (C-a C-c)
 -> open new document in OOo (A-f n t [I believe]) 
 -> paste selection (C-v)
 -> save (in my case, often as MS Word)
 -> go and cry because you have to degrade org mode so much ;-)

Most things work okay for me.   I then ask collaborators to track
changes and I incorporate those changes manually (yech -- but there's
no other way yet) into my org document.

I have also customised 

: org-export-html-xml-declaration (quote (("php" . "<?php echo \"<?xml 
version=\\\"1.0\\\" encoding=\\\"%s\\\" ?>\"; ?>")))
  
to avoid the problem with OOo not understanding the first line of the
HTML created by org html export.

HTH,
