Open Office Diff Utility?

While I was starting writing a book I realised that well, you really cannot publish a normal book (not mathematical one) written in (La)TeX. Almost all publishers want to get a book in the super MS Word format (also known as super.doc). So the only option was to use OpenOffice (I don’t use Windows, I don’t have Word, I don’t want to use Office, especially the Office 2007 with it’s new super interface).

Normally I was writing using simple text files, so I can use diff program for checking all changes. Last time I found this one nice page, not tested that, but looks nice: diff utility for OpenDocument.
