Things I miss in OO:

it would be nice to be able to use MS Word templates (or MS Office in general) as templates in OO.
Correction: I saw that you can "import" templates by "organizing" your templates. Select "File -> Templates -> Organize". Select the destination of the import, right click and "Import tempaltes". Now you can select the (one) MS Office temp
Quickstarter should contain "Recent Documents"

Problems and solutions:

Outline numbering: this is difficult to understand and confusing. It never worked as I expected it until I found the "Tools -> Outline Numbering" menu. For each level, set the paragraph style you want to use (usually Heading1...Heading9) and the number format (1...3, A...C, ...). Now select the style "Heading1" and apply it to the text (I recommend also to select "AutoUpdate" in the Organizer tab of the style).
There is a anoying bug in OO2.0. Outlines get lost when you close and reopen the document....hope it will be fixed soon.
Languages: first, you can install new languages using the "File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries" Wizard.
Once dictionaries, word lists and thesaurus are installed, you can set the default language of your document in "Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages". This will be the language that styles use if not set differently (that means, if you select the "Default" style and didn't change it, it will use the language you have configured as standard language (I don't know if you can also set a default language per document, instead of application).
Now, if you want to set a different language than the standard language in your document, create a new style by copying an existing one (linked to the existing one), call it "OriginalStyle-NewLanguage" and specify the new language in the font tab of the style.
