General ⇒ Convert LaTeX documents into OpenOffice or Word format

[turbomac]

Hi everyone

I have a course this semester where I need to build a report and I wanted to make it in Latex. But, the professor wants the final document in MSWord.

I told him that Latex is better for documents than Openoffice or MSWord documents, but... But he didn't change his mind.

What can I do?? I've been trying some tools like weblatex and then to copy the text and then paste it in Openoffice. But it sucks. I have been also using htlatex but I can't get it to work.
THanks in advance.

Have you tried latex2rtf? I've had decent success with it. Not perfect, but good enough for a professor with such obviously low standards.

htlatex is usually pretty reliable. Too bad you're having problems with it. There's also hevea, tex2page or the html export function in LyX, and a few other ways of trying to use html as intermediary.

This page at TUG might help:

After several attempts I got it to work. Thanks frabjous

The syntax for this command is:

latex2rtf -o <output file> <inputfile>

For more information or details:

man latex2rtf

Thanks.
