is it possible to create a true XY Chart in Writer? If I do Insert -

One additional thought: those who have learnt HTML and CSS should find
using styles quite natural — it is the same separation of content from
presentation (styles).

The point with OO/LO is that unfortunately, like Word, its style concept
does not allow to work in the "structure markup" way.
So, even if you tried to use styles consistently, you wouldn't be able
to benefit from it the way you can with e.g. LyX/LaTeX or document
