LaTeX to Word

The correct tool to transform LaTeX to Word depends on your input file. I generally try these tools until I find one that does a good job:

• latex2rtf - This is likely to be the best for simple LaTeX. It seems to have a partial implementation of \newcommand and \def. However, it doesn't do conditionals well.
• pandoc - This does an okay job. Latex2rtf is generally better.
• print to PDF and open the PDF with word - This works if the PDF file is smaller than 40MB. Word does a good job converting PDF to Word.
• print to PDF and ask Acrobat to convert the PDF to word - This also works, although Word's conversion tends to be better.

Generally you may want to convert the figures separately. Word tends to rasterize your figures, which is almost always bad.
