My name is Daniel Ciuiu and I am assistant-professor at Mathematics and Computer Science Department, Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest, Romania.

There are some revues and conferences which ask papers only in Word format. How can I convert (export) a .tex file to WORD under LINUX? In Windows there exists Scientific Workplace 5.0 or later version which has a option in "File" "Export to rtf". After opening the file we can save it in .doc format.

I am not sure about converting .tex files but .txt files can be converted to .doc using open office. The only problem I experienced was with built in macros associated with the text file.

A quick search on google gave me this link :-

I hope it helps.

Thank you all for assistance. Unfortunately the formulae do not appear so well. For instance it can appear something like

H=-\overset[infty sign]\undersetn=0
[sum sign]
pn·lnpn.

In the above formula pn is p_n (indices end exponents are good). References are also good.

It is because of LINUX version?

The instructions are for Debian/Ubuntu, and my version is CENTOS, from the basic version RED HAT.

When I use the command 12h or ltx2doc if I have only cat09.tex it appears first the message
"Latex Error: File tex4ht.sty not found",
and finally nsome zip warnings about name no math, and produce no file.

If I type first tth cat09 it produces a html, and by 12h it produces a oth file, from which I can save as Win 2000 doc, and I have obtained the above results.

Thank you all,
Daniel Ciuiu
