Is it possible to add a formatting text tag when working in a text editor
that OOo would recognise when the text file is imported into it.

So in the text file you could type something like "/i italicised word/i"
that would then format the words "italicised word" as italics in Open
Office.

Thanks,

Short answer: Not in the way you envision.

Long answer: Since ODF files consist of a zipped directory structure of plain text files, it *is* possible to create valid ODF files with a text editor. But the problem would be simultaneously straight-forward and very difficult. Internally, ODF treats even simple direct formatting like italics, bold, etc. through the styles mechanism, so you would have to work through that paradigm and... well, you probably don't want to go there.
