I have uploaded to SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.tex> WD2LATEX.ZIP Convert MSWord to LaTeX (crude but useful) Written by Dr Connor J Thomas (cthomas@f.adelaide.edu.au). The archive comes with both source and a binary. Selected excerpt from the README file: THE TRANSLATION PROGRAM works by interpreting Epson compatible printer codes and translating a limited set of these to appropriate LaTeX code. This approach is limited and cannot easily be used to interprete undelined text; tables etc also present dificulties. But I do have some MSWORD macros to help format basic LaTeX tables. The present version will cope with: IBM PC Hi-Ascii characters Special LaTeX characters such as \ % { } etc. Math characters such as + - Italicized text Bolded text Superscripts and Subscripts Small caps format Characters bolded and to be printed in Epson Large type will be interpreted as \section{text} but remember to bold first and change size second (See notes in source code). The program can be easily expanded to cope with more complex procedures. Raymond Chen raymond@math.berkeley.edu
