It's very common in the Pathology community.  I wrote two book chapters and published about 20 articles in the past 5 years, and they all required Word documents.  I run Windows XP as a virtual machine specifically so I can take my LibreOffice documents and run them through Word to make sure everything works before submitting them.  This obviously doesn't involve a lot of equations, but it does involve diagrams and illustrations, which can be an issue.
