[texhax] Converting LaTeX files into MS Word

[Alan Litchfield]

You can convert LaTeX to RTF:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex2rtf/
http://filburt.lns.mit.edu/oops/Html/SW/wxwin/tex2rtf/t2rtf.htm
http://www.tug.org/utilities/texconv/ltx2rtf3.html

Or you can convert PDF to Word:
http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2word/index.html
http://www.digitalriver.com/v2.0-img/operations/scansoau/pdfconverter4/standard/pdfc4-standard_au_index.html
http://www.pdftransformer.com/pdf-to-word/
http://www.solidpdf.com/

Or you can convert LaTeX to Word:
http://www.word2tex.com/

A few options to choose from, each providing differing capabilities and
functions I am sure.

Cheers
Alan
