[texhax] converting Word files to text

[Alan T Litchfield]

Fernando,

Aside from writing a script, and assuming you are using Windows, have  
you looked at this?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wordtolatex/

Don't know if it will batch process but I can see no reason why it  
can't be scripted. I have not tried it.

Perhaps this might help.
