Does anybody have a utility (Macintosh, PC, or other) which converts from TeX commands to Microsoft's RichTextFormat (RTF). If it only did partial conversion, for example subscripts, superscripts, bold face, etc., that would be a good start. Thanks Charley Kneifel kneifel@bnlux0.bnl.gov

Is it possible to take a document prepared in MS Word, saved in RTF, and process it with TeX? It would seem that someone could write some macros to process the RTF format, which has braces {} for grouping and uses \ to indicated commands. Has anyone does this? -Irv Lustig Assistant Professor Dept. of Civil Engineering and Operations Research Princeton University irv%basie@princeton.edu

The December 1989 of EPSIG (Electronic Publishing SIG) News contains a small write-up on "the Exoterica XGML Translator" software package. To Quote: "Translator converts documents to XICS, TROFF, SCRIBE, TeX, Interleaf, Frame, Rich Text Format, and other languages. It also converts documents from any of these formats into SGML and from any one of them into any other. ...
