-<h3>Other conversions to and from (La)TeX</h3>

-<dt>troff<dd><i>Tr2latex</i>, assists in the translation of a
- <i>troff</i> document into LaTeX 2.09 format. It recognises most
- <code>-ms</code> and <code>-man</code> macros, plus most <i>eqn</i> and some
- <i>tbl</i> preprocessor commands. Anything fancier needs to be
- done by hand. Two style files are provided. There is also a man page
- (which converts very well to LaTeX&#8230;).
- <i>Tr2latex</i> is an enhanced version of the earlier
- <i>troff-to-latex</i> (which is no longer available).

-<p/><dt>WordPerfect<dd> <i>wp2latex</i> is actively maintained, and is
- available either for MSDOS or for Unix systems.
-<dt>RTF<dd> <i>Rtf2tex</i>, by Robert Lupton, is for
- converting Microsoft&#8217;s Rich Text Format to TeX. There is also a
- converter to LaTeX by Erwin Wechtl, called <i>rtf2latex</i>.
- The latest converter, by Ujwal Sathyam and Scott Prahl, is
- <i>rtf2latex2e</i> which seems rather good, though development
- of it seems to have stalled.
-<p/> Translation <em>to</em> RTF may be done (for a somewhat
- constrained set of LaTeX documents) by TeX2RTF, which
- can produce ordinary RTF, Windows Help RTF (as well as
- HTML, <a href="FAQ-LaTeX2HTML.html">conversion to HTML</a>).
- TeX2RTF is supported on various Unix platforms and under
- Windows 3.1
-<dt>Microsoft Word<dd> A rudimentary (free) program for converting
- MS-Word to LaTeX is <i>wd2latex</i>, which runs on MSDOS;
- it probably produces output destined for an archaic version of
- MS-Word (the program itself was archived in 1991).
-<p/> The current preferred free-software method is a two-stage process:
- <ul>
- <li> Convert LaTeX to <i>OpenOffice</i> format, using the
- <i>tex4ht</i> command <i>oolatex</i>;
- <li> open the result in <i>OpenOffice</i> and &#8216;save as&#8217; a
- MS-Word document.
- </ul>
- (Note that <i>OpenOffice</i> itself is <em>not</em> on
- CTAN; see <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">http://www.openoffice.org/</a>, though most
- <i>linux</i> systems offer it as a ready-to-install bundle.)
-<p/> <i>Word2</i><em>TeX</em> and <em>TeX</em><i>2Word</i> are
- shareware translators from
- <a href="http://www.chikrii.com/">Chikrii Softlab</a>; positive users&#8217;
- reports have been noted (but not recently).
-<p/> The excellent <i>tex4ht</i> will generate OpenOffice ODT
- format, which can be used as an intermediate to producing Word
- format files.
-<p/> If cost is a constraint, the best bet is probably to use an
- intermediate format such as RTF or HTML.
- <i>Word</i> outputs and reads both, so in principle this route
- may be useful.
-<p/> You can also use PDF as an intermediate format: Acrobat Reader
- for Windows (version 5.0 and later) will output rather feeble
- RTF that <i>Word</i> can read.
-<dt>Excel<dd> <i>Excel2Latex</i> converts an <i>Excel</i> file
- into a LaTeX <code>tabular</code> environment; it comes as a
- <code>.xls</code> file which defines some <i>Excel</i> macros to produce
- output in a new format.
-<dt>runoff<dd> Peter Vanroose&#8217;s <i>rnototex</i>
- conversion program is written in VMS Pascal.
- The sources are distributed with a VAX executable.
-<dt>refer/tib<dd> There are a few programs for converting bibliographic
- data between BibTeX and <i>refer</i>/<i>tib</i> formats.
- The collection includes a shell script converter from BibTeX to
- <i>refer</i> format as well. The collection
- is not maintained.
-<dt>PC-Write<dd><i>pcwritex.arc</i> is a
- print driver for PC-Write that &#8220;prints&#8221; a PC-Write
- V2.71 document to a TeX-compatible disk file. It was written by Peter
- Flynn at University College, Cork, Republic of Ireland.

-<a href="http://www.tug.org/utilities/texconv/index.html">Wilfried Hennings&#8217; FAQ</a>,
-which deals specifically with conversions between TeX-based formats
-and word processor formats, offers much detail as well as tables that
-allow quick comparison of features.
-<p/>A group at Ohio State University (USA) is working on
-a common document format based on SGML, with the ambition that any
-format could be
-translated to or from this one. <i>FrameMaker</i> provides
-&#8220;import filters&#8221; to aid translation from alien formats
-(presumably including TeX) to <i>FrameMaker</i>&#8217;s own.
