Is there a way to import MS Word tables onto LaTeX?

Post by Blkmage »

I have a chart in MS word that is basically to compare and contrast to subjects. Is there anyway to import this in LaTeX because I'm not really familiar with how to use/insert tables in LaTeX? If it's possible, would importing it keep the font as Times New Roman or use the standard LaTeX font?

The easiest to do is to print is as a picture. This can be done by installing virtual printers that prints to files on disk either in EPS or PDF formats.

There are several of these drivers around. Then include the table as a graphic. The fonts will ngoet be the same as the LaTeX fonts as windows does noget know anything about LaTeX.

As far as I remember, there are a lot of export filters available on the MS Office installation medium. Try to find an EPS export filter for graphics and use this. Then you can use the EPS file in LaTeX.
