+
+Hallo,
+
+the only way I know, is to convert the LaTeX file into a RTF file. MS-Word
+should be able to handle RTF-Files.
+
+I used the program TeX2RFT, which is availible by ftp. I've got it from
+ftp.dante.de. You might find it on other ftp servers as well.
+
+In the august issue of the german computer magazine 'iX' (Heise Verlag
+Hannover) you will find an article, describing programs to convert TeX files
+(p. 74).

+I am a new netter and want to use type Latex to typeset a paper.
+I have installed Tex 3.1415 in my machine(Tatung workstation compatible

+So I can't deal with .eps file using Latex. However, I have achieved an

+directory. But it doesn't work as follows:

+Subject: blackboard_font
+
+ As I was used to write scientific texts with "Word" on
+a MacIntosh, I have got several habits...
+ In particular tensors like stress and strain are denoted
+by lowercase Greek letters \sigma and \varepsilon, with a
+style named "relief" (en Francais dans le texte); it does
+something like doubling drawings of letters. As I tried to
+reproduce it with LaTeX, I installed Blackboard-bold font
+(bbold.mf). But the characters are a bit rough to be used
+frequently in the text.
+ Does someone know the name of a font more suited for my
+purpose, i.e. that looks more like Word's one ?
+
+ Thanks a lot.

+Newsgroups: comp.text.tex
+Subject: Announcing xdvi patchlevel 18
+Summary:
+Followup-To:
+Distribution: world
+Organization: U.C. Berkeley Math. Department.
+Keywords:
+
+OK, so this is a little late, but:
+
+This is to announce that patchlevel 18 for xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files
+under the X Window System, has been released. This is a full release,
+as opposed to a patch, due to the extent of the changes. It is available
+via anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org in the file contrib/applications/xdvi.tar.Z
+(and coming soon to a mirror site near you...). It is also available on
+the R6 contrib tape.
+
+This version adds:
+ o Support for PostScript specials.
+ o Checking of checksums in the .dvi file vs. the .pk or .gf file.
+ o Non-square magnifying glasses.
+
+As was mentioned in the announcement of patch 17, it removes support for X10
+and for the pxl font format.

+Subject: Announcing gsftopk 1.7
+
+This is to announce the availability of Version 1.7 of gsftopk.
+gsftopk is a package whose purpose is to allow use of PostScript<TM> fonts
+with xdvi. It consists of:
+
+ 1. A program called gsftopk.c which creates pk font files for the
+ PostScript fonts. The bitmaps are obtained from ghostscript.
+ 2. A script called xdvimakepk which is to be used in place of
+ MakeTeXPK in xdvi.
+
+The package requires the use of a dvips-style psfonts.map file.
+
+The package is available via anonymous ftp from math.berkeley.edu
+in the file pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.tar.Z. To upgrade from version
+1.6 you may use pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.patch7.Z instead.
+
+gsftopk is also released as a subpackage of xdvi. Version 1.7 of gsftopk
+(or a later version) will be part of patchlevel 19 of xdvi. Patchlevel 18
+of xdvi includes only gsftopk 1.6.
+
+Version 1.7 adds the ability to do subdirectory searching, using the same
+// semantics as the web2c release of TeX, et. al.

+Subject: Announcement: Sauter tools Version 2.2
+
+Today, the Version 2.2 of the Sauter parameter files have been installed
+at the german CTAN site and should propagate to the other ones in the
+next 24 hours.
+
+The Sauter tools allow you to generate any font out of the cm family at an
+arbitrary design size by interpolating between the Knuthian parameters or
+extrapolating them. The Sauter fonts can be used to replace any scaled
+fonts used by LaTeX and plain TeX.
+
+
+Version 2.2 contains mainly some bug fixes:
+
+c-cmb: now produces characters of the same width as in cmr
+b-wasy: inputs c-cmmi instead of the outdated c-cmsy
+b-bbold: now gets the right design_size into the tfm file
+suatercm.fd: LaTeX2e support
+
+Thanks to all the people, who send in the bug reports and suggested fixes.

+Subject: Online AsTeR Demo on the WWW (oral rendering of LaTex documents)
+
+AsTeR --Audio System For Technical Readings-- is a computing system that
+exploits the display-independent nature of electronic information to orally
+render technical documents marked up in La)TeX.
+
+You can experience an interactive demo of AsTeR on the World Wide Web at
+http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/raman/aster/demo.html
+
+This hypertext document presents a collection of math examples rendered in
+audio by AsTeR and in Postscript by LaTeX/DVIPS.
+
+It aptly brings out the power of the Web in publishing multimedia documents:
+none of my journal publications come with online demos.
+
+It also emphasizes the display-independent nature of electronic markup
+documents; both the audio formatted version and the visually laid out
+Postscript were generated from the same LaTeX source.
