If you read carefully, you will note that the comparison is between FrameMaker and OOo. It's not between Word and OOo. For what FrameMaker does well, Word is immeasurably broken. A person would be better off typing raw LaTeX in notepad.exe, even if he has to learn LaTeX first. I do not find it suprising at all that OOo surpases Word for long, complex, and structured documents. It could hardly do much worse. I wonder how LyX would do as a FrameMaker replacement? I've meant to give it a whirl, but have never got around to trying it.
