I just made a symbolic link to the script (which lives
in /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex).

I regularly use oolatex to convert a 600+ page book from LaTeX to OO.
The manuscript is fairly complicated since it has multiple indexes and
cross references, all referencing paragraph numbers rather than pages.
There are a number of macros to make this work.

The conversion is excellent except the indentation in the indexes
doesn't get preserved.
