Hi, I had to do similar conversion as well and I went the TeX->Word route. I have very good experience with http://word2tex.com/ (trial version). Very good solution for a one time conversion. I also tried http://hunyadi.info.hu/en/projects/tex2word It works well with simple documents even with equations. However it choked on things like itemizes, enumerates and footnotes. Looks like a interesting project to watch though. Vasek
