Any suggestions would be appreciated. [...] 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). - -- Viele Gruesse Volker ****************************************************************************** EMail: volker@yeti.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de snail-mail: Volker Bosch, Kaiserstrasse 49, 70599 Stuttgart (GERMANY) (voice) Phone: +49 0711 685-7223 (office) ------------------------------ Date: 06 Aug 1994 02:45:08 -0400 From: Bruce Graham <100302.2570@compuserve.com> Subject: Looking for Tex/LaTex Editor I am looking for a full-feature Tex/LaTex editor for Macintosh that would allow me to transfer files to/from Microsoft Word.

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 ?

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. - --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Aug 1994 15:22:43 -0700 From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta) 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 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. - --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Aug 1994 18:26:50 +0100 From: KNAPPEN@VKPMZD.kph.Uni-Mainz.DE 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. - --J"org Knappen. ------------------------------ Date: 10 Aug 1994 20:39:59 +0000 From: raman@crl.dec.com (TV Raman) 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. - --Raman email: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/raman/raman.html ------------------------------ About TeXhax...
