[OS X TeX] TeX to word on Mac

[Bob Kerstetter]

Hi George,

If the following stuff is too elementary, I apologize. The  
instructions use examplefile.tex as the input file name and ~/ 
Documents/examplefolder as the folder name.

1. Open the OS X terminal.

2. In the terminal type:  cd ~/Documents/examplefolder

3. Press return.
     this changes your folder to ~/Documents/examplefolder

4. In the terminal type: htlatex examplefile

5. Press return.
      tex4ht makes three runs and creates an output file named:  
examplefile.html

6. In the terminal type: open .
      after the word "open" is a space and a period (.)

7.  Press return.
      this opens the examplefolder folder in a Finder window.
       you should be able to find the file named examplefile.html in  
the folder.

Does this help?

Bob
