I use it quite often, here are some indications: after reconfigure check that - the needaux flag is added in the Converter section (otherwise you will miss bibliographies); - the latex2rtf command has got the -p -S switches - additional switches may be required (language, encoding,...). Open the result with Word, not with OO. As far as math are concerned, latex2rtf does quite a good job for inline math and no-to-sophisticated display math. However, math cannot be edited in Word if there are both Greek and latin symbols, due to a basic limitation of the Math Type converter. An alternate method is to add the -M6 switch to get images instead of Math Type for display equations: you cannot edit, but you get latex-like typography :-). You may use the -se1.4 switch to increase font size e.g to 1.4 times the default in the converted equations. -- Jean-Pierre
