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…). - <i>Tr2latex</i> is an enhanced version of the earlier - <i>troff-to-latex</i> (which is no longer available). -<p/> - - -<p/> - - - - -<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’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 ‘save as’ 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’ - 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’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 “prints” a PC-Write - V2.71 document to a TeX-compatible disk file.
