William, Themis, Alex, Georg, Claus,
thank you for your efforts and advice.
I tried Textlightning to .rtf and Adobe Acrobat Professional to .doc.
The latter was totally useless, Textlightning you could at least
read. Guess what was the best: Select all from the latex.pdf and copy
it into Word. But, of course, forget footnotes, forget graphs, tables.
Before I follow your advice to look for a secretary I would like to
explore the other possibilities I mentioned in my previous mail. I
repeat them below and would appreciate if you commented on number 3
and 4.
(3) latex2rtf.
I managed to install and run it, but the programme got stuck with the
message
(Not set):145 Error! Unknown file I/O error reading latex file.
I did not bother to try to solve this problem, because I conclude
from the first few loglines that many of the style packages are
unknown to the programme and ignored, especially jurabib which does
all my footnotes, and that latex2rtf, consequently, will not do the
job. Is this correct?
(4) tex4ht (in order to produce an html file, read this in Word and
produce a .doc file):
I ran htlatex filename "html,0" as indicated by Bob and it ran OK up
to the end. This package seems to be able to convert everyting in
my .tex file, even jurabib. It seems very promising. but I did not
get the html output file. Why ?
The log file first goes through all the packages, then displays a lot
of 'Notes - for ("this and that") use the command line option ("this
or that")', then calls a lot of files with extension .4ht, then goes
into Page layout dimensions and switches. The last part of the log is
as indicated 5 lines below, here I find some hints that might give
you a clue. If I get the output file I could see which of all
possibilities is best.
Where is the problem ?
Thanks in advance
Winfried
