little known features in LO/OO?

Greetings,

I'm looking for general inspiration (not necessarily pointers to
specific examples, even if those are welcome too, of course) to write
an article or two on this topic. What would you say is the **least**
known feature of LO/OO? What is the thing that most often, when you
suggest these suites to other people, makes them go "gee, I didn't
imagine that!" ?

TIA,
Marco

As for applications, seeing someone who really knows how to use Draw 
will change your opinion on this hidden gem in OpenOffice.

As for features, Tools - Sort in Writer is a useful, powerful and often 
ignored one.

A big one is the XForms mode of Writer, from File/New/XML Form Document.
