As far as I can tell, there is no quick way to increase or decrease font-size
from the keyboard in OpenOffice.

In Microsoft Word, Control-Shift-P selects the font-size adjustor to allow quick
editing. This is, in my mind, a mediocre solution. (In open office,
Control-Shift-P just toggles the size)

In AbiWord, Control-< and Control-> adjust the size. This is just the kind of
solution I'd like to see in OO -- easy to use (though it's not a discoverable
feature in AbiWord -- it would be nice if the OO implementation were
discoverable via menu items such as "Increase font size" and "Decrease font 
size".

I believe this is pretty important -- I adjust font-size far more often than I
adjust spacing, italics, underlining and bolding, all of which have convenience
keyboard shortcuts.

Also, it's not trivial to record a macro to do this since by default, macros
record what font-size I changed to exactly, making it possible to make a "Set
font size to 16" macro, but not possible to say "Increase font size" in a quick
macro.
