Yes, it still uses the OOo1 format sxw.
which probably works a bit better on Linux than Windows.
I've just tried it out on my Win98 box. There seem to be commands in
the convtex.bat file that do not work under Win98. There also seem to
be problems with handling paths. I've rewritten the batch file and the
two other config files provided in the package to fit to my system,
but it still doesn't work. :-(
I'll keep on trying. 8-) Thanks for the hint, anyway. Didn't know
about the project yet. Seems an interesting idea because the only
other project for converting TeX > OOo that I know of is oolatex from
tex4ht, and this doesn't work either in MiKTeX 2.4...

You mention Win98. I have Enrico's production of CygLyX1.4.1 working
on Win98 in case there is version capability limitation. He has also
released
CygLyx1.4.2 but I haven't tested that yet. I haven't tried Convtex on Win98
either (it has a sick cdrom drive). Nick Thomas is actively working on this
and wants testers and I'm sure he would appreciate somebody with some
scripting knowledge as a tester.
oolatex is a variant of htlatex with certain command line switches.
The command "htlatex foo.tex" = foo.html which can be imported into
Word, and changed to .doc, which OpenOffice can import works in
WinXP, untested in Win98(my mother has its mouse).
The unpolished output of htlatex:
