Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way for compiling latex document to word like latex->word, just like how we have latex-> PDF .
Thanks,
Abhi

Latex to Word
There is a software which does exactly this, but it isn't free. It is called Latex2word. Have a look here

I never used it, so I have no idea how good it is.

Latex to Word
Hi Abhi,
Word is commercial and proprietary, and means several partially compatible formats. This means it's hardly possible for a free software community to make a converter for it. Perhaps ask in a Microsoft forum: for Microsoft who knows and protects its own proprietary format it should be easy to make an import filter to a open source format like LaTeX. I just guess they don't have commercial interest in being compatible.
But have a look at this list: Converters from LaTeX to PC Textprocessors.
