dear K,
Thanks very much for your response.  Based on what you said above, I was 
able to get it working.  I downloaded the Style and Schema files from 
the git repo, and put them in to the directories that emacs was 
searching, namely:

Debug (org-odt): Using schema files under 
c:/emacs-23.4/site-lisp/contrib/odt/etc/schema/
Debug (org-odt): Using styles under c:/emacs-23.4/site-lisp/etc/styles/

In both cases, I had to create the directories.  to put them in.  I 
figured it was easier (for now) to put the files where this installation 
expected them, rather than fix the installation using ELPA etc.  When I 
update, I'm sure I will use the other approaches you mentioned.

Before I could get ODT success, I also had to install zip and unzip for 
my Windows machine, which I found at 
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html

Now it works great.

thanks!

M
