Hi all,
I would like to hear whether anybody here knows a way to typeset a latex file in textmate and then export it as MS Word .doc file. Any help will are welcome.
Daniel
I'm aware of the latex -> rtf tool (http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex2rtf/) which might be enough for your needs? it's in quite good shape. A quick google also brought up this:http://www.chikrii.com/products/tex2word/ which I'm assuming you've discarded for some reason or other (haven't played with it myself, but it does look a little dated!).
Other than that it seems that you need windows and Word and a plugin: http://www.grindeq.com/index.php?p=latex2word

Apologies, I'm not awake today. So Tex2Word also needs Windows :-(. I would suggest trying out the RTF thing though, it is quite good. If it works you can always add a command to the LaTeX bundle to automatically do the conversion on compile :-P.

I don't know for .doc format but I've tried to do .rtf which can be opened by Word or similar.
I had very limited success in the past with the latex2rtf command in terminal which I ran on the tex file after typesetting it. Many aspects were missing (foreign language stuff, etc.). I didn't try very hard, however.
When I know the conversion might be desirable, I write in Markdown and use MultiMarkdown to produce rtf. --Gildas
Thanks for advising, I'll try them. I also found an online service : sciweavers.org that promise a good work translating to .rtf, but for some reason it couldn't identify my .tex file properly.

I see latex2rtf has been updated: http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex2rtf/ I tried the link you give at sciweavers.org and my .tex file was translated in decent .rtf but without footnotes. --Gildas

An alternative is to use hevea. It translates to html and then you can open the html file in Word. It does a reasonably good job with LaTeX math.
All the best
