<p><a href="http://www.mackichan.com/">MacKichan
Software (external link)</a> publishes
Scientific Word and Scientific WorkPlace. Included with these products
is a
conversion program that will input RTF and output LaTeX. This
conversion will
correctly convert Microsoft Word Equation Editor or MathType equations
in the
RTF file to LaTeX. The conversion program is not available separately,
but it
is based on the free <a href="rtf2latex2e.html">rtf2latex2e</a>.
</p>
<p>&lt;&lt;citation end</p>
<p>There is a "light" (and cheaper) version available called
<a href="http://www.scinotebook.com/">Scientific Notebook (external link)</a>,
which is also
capable of importing RTF and exporting (sort of) LaTeX. They also
provide a
free 30 day evaluation version.</p>

<h3>History:</h3>
<p> In 1994 the first Version of LaTeX2rtf was written by a group
of students of the Viena University supervised by Ralf Schlatterbeck.
They took up
a LaTeX parser and added most of the functionality to the program. In
1995 work
continued with a second group of students. The result was LaTeX2rtf
Version 1.5. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, two different persons started further
development of that program, not knowing of each other:</p>
<ul>
<li>In 1997, Daniel Taupin started updating this converter. He
added e.g. the feature to convert equations to bitmaps by invoking the
TeX engine. However this required the emTeX distribution (for DOS)
which is no longer supported. </li>
<li> In 1998, Georg Lehner found the reference to the original
LaTeX2rtf on this webpage and added some functionality. His work
resulted in version 1.8aa. Unfortunately he did not know about Daniel's
developments.</li>
</ul>
<p>In 2001, Scott Prahl started to make some significant
enhancements, also including many of Daniel's additions. He is still
working on it. So <b>this page is about Georg's and Scott's
version</b>. Latest stable
release is 1.9.19 and includes all of the features of Daniel's version.</p>
<p>Temporarily I (Wilfried Hennings) feel responsible for
coordinating the exchange of development information. But <em>we
are still seeking for a person who can act as coordinator of future
development, and we also need a person to take over the development.</em>
Anyone feeling able to do that
please contact me by email to texconvfaq "at" gmx.de. </p>
<p>We got a project initiated at sourceforge.net which aids in
further development. Visit its homepage at <a href="http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/">
http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/ (external link)</a> or its
project page at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex2rtf/">
