<h1>Converters from PC Textprocessors to LaTeX - Overview</h1>
<p><strong>Switch conversion direction: <a href="textopc.html">From LaTeX to
PC</a></strong></p>
<p>Author: Wilfried Hennings (texconvfaq "at" gmx.de), last
update (including subpages): March 3, 2011<br>
The url of this page is <a href="http://tug.org/utilities/texconv/pctotex.html">
http://tug.org/utilities/texconv/pctotex.html</a> </p>
<p>I maintain these pages because I need converters between LaTeX
and PC Textprocessors for my work and I want to share the information
with others who need it. Because I maintain them in my spare time (uh,
what is spare time?), I can not answer individual questions.</p>
<p><strong>This list is as good or as bad as its support,
and I need YOUR support to update and supplement this list.</strong>
Please supplement if you know more and/or better ones. There are some
more converters on the CTAN sites, but the following seem to be most
promising for conversion to and from the
current versions of wordprocessors. </p>
<p>Neither correctness nor completeness is guaranteed. <br>
All opinions mentioned (if any) are my own, not my employer's. Please
send corrections, enhancements and supplements (auch in deutscher
Sprache) to the following address: <br>
texconvfaq "at" gmx.de</p>
<p>Note that this FAQ list contains information about converters
<strong>ONLY</strong> between PC word processors and LaTeX.
Converters to and from <strong>other formats may have own FAQ
lists</strong> – e.g. see the link for converters to
and from
HTML.</p>
<hr>
<p>For the impatient, here is a <a href="pc2txtbl.html">table
with overview of features</a> of the most recent converters.</p>
<hr>
<h2>General Remarks</h2>
<p>Before looking for a converter, stop and think about a
principal question: </p>
<h3>What do you want to be converted in which way?</h3>
<p>Do you want to convert the <strong>document structure</strong>,
i.e. a heading should remain a heading, a list should remain a list
etc., no matter how it will look like in the target format?<br>
Or do you want to convert the <strong>appearance</strong>,
i.e. how it looks like, no matter how it is represented in the target
format?<br>
Or do you want a mixture of both?<br>
For using SGML as an intermediate format, you would have to specify the
translation rules yourself (as far as I understood). This makes sense,
and explains why different people have very different opinions about
which converter best fits their needs: They simply have different
demands and expectations on what should be converted and how. <br>
So, not only practically there is no converter which is good for
everyone and every purpose, but this is even principally impossible
because there are no well-defined requirements which a converter should
meet. </p>
<p>So keep this in mind when looking through the following list
of converters, try yourself and decide what you need.</p>
<h3>Principal problems of wordprocessor to LaTeX conversion</h3>
<p>One advantage of LaTeX is that it forces to structure a
document, whereas wordprocessors like Word/WordPerfect allow
unstructured documents. It is hardly possible to automatically
structure a document where there was no structure before. </p>
<p>However it is nevertheless possible to write a structured
document with a wordprocessor by consistently using styles. Therefore,
wordprocessor documents using styles can be converted to a LaTeX with
an equivalent (but not necessarily identical) structure. </p>
<h3>There are several ways to convert</h3>
<ul>
<li>use a Wordprocessor macro: search for formats, special
characters and equations, tag them with LaTeX markup, then save as
plain text <br>
<br>
</li>
<li>use a Wordprocessor export filter<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>use an external converter: </li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Word binary format -> LaTeX</li>
<li>RTF (Word ASCII format, use Word's own RTF export)
-> LaTeX</li>
<li>Open Office format -> LaTeX</li>
<li>WordPerfect 5.1 format -> LaTeX</li>
<li>HTML (use Wordprocessor's built-in or add-on html
converter) -> LaTeX </li>
<li>maybe other external format(s)</li>
</ol>
<p>The converters being most complete, undergoing further
development and
having support are:</p>
<p><a href="#rtf2latex2e">rtf2latex2e</a> -
free standalone rtf to LaTeX converter for Mac, PC, and Unix</p>
<p><a href="#word2tex">word2tex</a> -
shareware, MS Word export filter for PC</p>
<p><a href="#GrindEQ">GrindEQ</a> - shareware,
MS Word export filter for PC </p>
<p><a href="#wordtolatex">word-to-latex</a> - shareware,
MS Word export filter for PC </p>
<p><a href="#writer2latex">Writer2LaTeX</a> -
free export filter and standalone Open Office converter</p>
<p><a href="#wp2latex">WP2LaTeX</a> - free
standalone Word Perfect converter for PC</p>

</p>
<h2>Converting from Word binary format</h2>
<p>This means the .doc format which is used by Word 95, 97, 2000,
XP and 2003 and in which also Word 2007 can save its documents if
you tell it to do so. The new XML format which is by default used by
Word 2007 is (afaik) not yet supported.</p>
<h3>Free:</h3>
<p>The free (LGPL) office suite <b>Open
Office</b> can import Word format and export to
LaTeX format.
Open Office runs on MacOSX, several Linux/Unix's and also
Windows95/98/NT/XP/2003 and Vista and stores documents as XML.<br>
My (and other's) experiences with OO 3.1 are quite good, given
the following prerequisites. <br>
- You need to install the <a href="pctotex.html#writer2latex">Writer2LaTeX</a>
extension.<br>
- You need to check
"Extras-Options-Load/Save-Microsoft Office-Load-MathType to OpenOffice
Math".<br>

homepage (external link)</a> </p>
<p><b>LAOLA</b> can
read Word6/Word7(=95) documents under Unix and extract the text.<br>
See <a href="laola.html">more detailed page</a><br>
<a href="http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/%7Eschwartz/pmh/">LAOLA
homepage (external link)</a></p>
<p><b>word2x</b>: Converts
Word6/Word7(=95) documents to LaTeX or plain text. <br>
See <a href="word2x.html">more detailed page</a><br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/word2x/">word2x
homepage (external link)</a></p>
<p><b>antiword</b>: A free MS Word reader for Linux,
BeOS and RISC OS. It converts the binary files from Word 6, 7, 97 and
2000 to text and Postscript.
<br>
See <a href="http://www.winfield.demon.nl/index.html">antiword
homepage (external link)</a>. <br>
A user's comment: "It is still a
bit incomplete, but I found it to be rather useful. Moreover, it is
available for a wider-than-usual range of platforms."</p>
<p><b>wvWare</b> is a library that can read the
Word6/Word7(=95), Word8(=97) and Word9(=2000) binary file format. It
works under most Unix systems.<br>
See <a href="http://wvware.sourceforge.net/">wvWare
homepage (external link)</a>.<br>
The wvWare library is used as import library in the wordprocessor
AbiWord (see below). <br>
Its predecessor MSWordView could only read Word8(=97) and convert word
into html, which can then be read with a browser. </p>
<p>For the wvware library an API "wsW2LTX" and a GUI shell
"wsW2LTXGUI" (for MS Windows) is available at
<a href="http://www.winshell.de/modules/w2ltx_download/">http://www.winshell.de/modules/w2ltx_download/
(external link)</a>
</p>
<p>The free (GPL) wordprocessor <b>AbiWord</b>
can import Word format (by using the aforementioned wvWare) and export
to LaTeX format. AbiWord runs on BeOS, several Unix's and also
Windows95/98/NT and stores documents as XML.<br>

<h2>Converting from RTF</h2>
<p>To use an RTF converter, the wordprocessor document must first
be "saved as" Rich Text Format. However each new version of MS Word
came with a new level of the RTF language. Most of the available
converters cannot understand the current RTF version</p>
<h3>Free:</h3>
<p><a name="rtf2latex2e"></a><b>rtf2latex2e</b> 2-0-1 version (2011). <br>
download from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtf2latex2e/">
sourceforge (external link)</a>.<br>
See <a href="rtf2latex2e.html">more detailed page</a><br>
If you are interested in the history of this converter, see <a href="rtf2latex.html">this page.</a></p>
<p><b>RTF2LaTeX</b>, a patch for WP2LaTeX that allows
it to convert also RTF documents. Experimental Release 0.4 (works, but
it knows only a small group of commands). See its
<a href="http://www.penguin.cz/%7Efojtik/wp2latex/rtf2latex.htm">homepage
(external link)</a>.</p>
<p><b>GNU unRTF</b> is a command-line program written
in C which
converts documents in Rich Text Format (.rtf) to several formats
including LaTeX. <br>
See its <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/unrtf/unrtf.html">
homepage (external link)</a>.
The latest version 0.21.10 (Jan.17, 2010) is only available as source
code. <br>
A precompiled binary for Windows, however an older version (0.19.3,
Feb.12, 2005), is
available from <a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/unrtf.htm">sourceforge
(external link)</a>.</p>
<p>The free (GPL) wordprocessor <b>AbiWord</b>
can import rtf and also MS Word doc format and export to LaTeX format.
AbiWord runs on BeOS,
several Unix's and also Windows95b or higher (up to XP) and stores
documents as XML.<br>
<a href="http://www.abisource.com/">AbiWord homepage
(external link)</a></p>
<h3>Commercial:</h3>
<p><b>Scientific Word</b>: Win95/98/2000/NT4 based
TeX/LaTeX system with graphical editor and rtf import capability
including MS's equation editor equations. The rtf import converter is
basically the same as rtf2latex2e. <br>

Word 97 contains an html converter by default, but in contrary
to
the previous versions it only recognizes heading styles if they are
first converted into the corresponding html styles. Also, it sometimes
inserts unnecessary tags. <br>
Word 2000 contains the html converter by default, but you
should not use this default: It actually creates sort of XML with many
Word-specific elements. Instead, for saving as "clean" html, download
and install the <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Msohtmf2.aspx">add-on
converter from Microsoft (external link)</a>.<br>
For Word XP (2002) and above the "clean" html export
can be installed with Word's setup. It is recommended to "save
as" "html filtered". However this isn't "clean" enough, you should
manually edit the saved html before feeding it to the html-to-LaTeX
converter. </p>
<p>WordPerfect 7 and up have an integrated InternetPublisher. <br>
For WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows, the InternetPublisher is available
separately:

<p>There also is a tool for Unix which is intended to convert
word6, word7(95) and word8(97) binary files to html. See

<p>Also see www.w3.org for a

<h3>HTML to LaTeX</h3>
<p>Because HTML is a structured format, the conversion between
HTML and LaTeX is rather straightforward. However there remain the
limitations of HTML compared to LaTeX, i.e. there are many elements in
LaTeX which can not (yet?) be represented in HTML. </p>
<p>There are several HTML-to-LaTeX converters available. Without
giving recommendations:</p>
<p>Frans Faase's <b>html2tex</b> (C source)
<br>
See <a href="http://home.wxs.nl/%7Efaase009/html2tex.html">
homepage (external link)</a>
</p>
<p>Peter Thatcher's <b>html2latex</b> (Perl script)<br>
See <a href="http://html2latex.sourceforge.net/">
homepage at sourceforge.net (external link)</a>
</p>
<p>Jeffrey Schaefer's
<b>html2latex</b> (Perl script)<br>
See <a href="http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/html2latex/welcome.html">
homepage at www.geom.umn.edu (external link)</a>
</p>
<p>Michal Kebrt's <b>htmltolatex</b> (Java Program)<br>
See <a href="http://htmltolatex.sourceforge.net/">homepage
at sourceforge.net (external link)</a></p>
<p>Some converters are available from
<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/CTAN.sites">CTAN
(external link)</a>
("Comprehensive TeX Archive Network"), e.g. in
.../support/html2latex. However, what you can find in CTAN under
.../support/html2latex/ is Nathan Torkington's converter of 1993 --
rather outdated.<br>
(The ... stands for a host specific base directory, which often is
either "/pub/tex" or "/tex-archive") </p>
<hr>
<h2>Other intermediate formats</h2>
<p>There are ways to use <b>SGML</b> as intermediate
format, and others have used it successfully. Having had a quick look
at it, I found it rather complicated, especially it seems that you have
to define the translation rules yourself. So I did not put more effort
in trying to use it. If anyone can give me a ready-to-use cookbook
solution, I will include it here. </p>
<p>Another intermediate format is <b>TeXML</b>. It
was designed to make conversion to (La)TeX as easy as possible,
especially XSLT-conversion from XML format. A converter from TeXML to
(La)TeX is available, see
<a href="http://getfo.sourceforge.net/texml/">http://getfo.sourceforge.net/texml/
(external link)</a>.
However I yet don't know of any converter from a texprocessor format to
TeXML. </p>

<h2>Converting from PageMaker</h2>
<p>Pmtolatex, a perl script to convert PageMaker files to LaTeX.
See
<a href="http://www.lightandmatter.com/pmtolatex/pmtolatex.html">homepage
(external link)</a>.
</p>
<hr>
<h2>Converting from FrameMaker</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/%7Ekjt/software/framemaker/">FrameMaker
Utilities (external link)</a>: Contains converters for both
directions
(LaTeX <-> FrameMaker) as well as templates which make
conversion from Framemaker to LaTeX more easy</p>
<hr>
<h2>Converting from NotaBene</h2>
<p>NB4LATEX converts files from NotaBene4 for DOS (which is an
old
version for DOS) to LaTeX2e format. You find it on <a href="index.html#ctan">CTAN</a>
in directory .../systems/msdos/nb4latex
</p>
<hr>
<h2>Converting from ChiWriter</h2>
<p>There are two converters on CTAN, but I don't know how good
they are and whether they still work (they are DOS programs from 1993
and 1994). You find them on <a href="index.html#ctan">CTAN</a>
in directory .../support/chi2ltx/
and in directory .../support/chi2tex/</p>
<hr>
<h2>Converting from Excel</h2>
<p>There are two possibilities to do that:</p>
<p>1. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Excel2LaTeX</span>:
Excel-macro to convert Excel to LaTeX.
The generated LaTeX code uses the tabular environment.<br>
On CTAN in .../support/excel2latex/, i.e. <a href="http://www.dante.de/CTAN//help/Catalogue/entries/excel2latex.html">here</a><br>

<p><citation from
<a href="http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=28364">http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=28364</a>><br>
"when I use Excel2Latex, it says "Can't find project or
library" after pressing on the conversion button. ..."<br>
"This problem may be caused by a broken reference to REFEDIT.DLL.
Excel2LaTeX.xla contains a reference to folder OFFICE12 (Office 2007).
If you use the macro with Office 2003 (OFFICE11) you must fix the
reference. REFEDIT.DLL is in c:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\. In Excel go to Tools>Macros>Visual
Basic Editor, select VBAProject (Excel2LaTeX.xla) in Project Explorer,
then go to Tools>References and uncheck MISSING:Ref Edit
Control,
click Browse and Open REFEDIT.DLL, then use the priority button to
raise the new Ref Edit Control entry to where the MISSING entry was
(click the up arrow button once and then hold Space to raise)."
