Does anyone know a conversion path from troff to MS-WORD format? I'm looking for a way to minimize the effort of converting from troff documents to the PC world. Thanks in advance. - George .

Using these packages means you don't have to convert; they are fully backward compatible and interchangable with your current troff. Used with a UNIX-like editor, troff on DOS could eleminate your converting effort altogether. -- Mike Brookbank Phone: (519)884-2251 Mortice Kern Systems Inc.

I am interested in going the other way: Converting MS-Word to
something else (troff, LaTeX).
After using MS-Word for a while, I find I cannot stand the ugly
summation symbols, the default too-large/too-high ugly subscripts
(with numbers too-big), similarly-bad superscripts, and too-thick
division-bars. Microsoft, are you out there???? Are you
listening????
