I am looking for a piece of software to convert MS Word files to TeX (LaTeX is also acceptable). Any recommendation? Good experiences? I looked into "word2x"... failed miserably rtf2latex2e worked so, so... And what about TeX --> Word? I have to put with a co-author who still use the MS crap... it drives me nuts! ___________ Alvaro Novo SuSE 7.1 -=- Kernel 2.4.2-4 -=- KDE 2.1 2:58pm up 1 day, 14:26, 7 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

There is no straight forward way. I think the easiest way to convert them would be to save them as text files, and then go from there. - v -- Victor R. Cardona vcardona@home.com "Behold the keyboard of Kahless, the greatest Klingon code warrior that ever lived!"

I have word2x -h Usage: word2x [-f <output format>] [--dates <date format>] [-w <line length>] <infile> [<outfile>] Supported date formats: uk, british, us, de, deHTML, deL1 Supported output formats: text, latex, html But i imagine that the conversation is not perfect.

I don't have it installed, and cannot test it. I will try to find it, and test it on some Word 2000 files this week. -v -- Victor R. Cardona vcardona@home.com "Behold the keyboard of Kahless, the greatest Klingon code warrior that ever lived!"

couriously, I had a short look into it. There is also a man page. It sais, that it will read only word6 files. you might need to convert them first.
