Overview</A></P>
 
<H1>w2latex</H1>
 
<P>last update: July 28, 1998</P>
 
<P>written in C. (C compiler necessary.) Actually converts RTF to LaTeX. <BR>
The Word document must first be saved to disk in RTF format. </P>
 
<P>Advantages: <BR>
Converts text elements and formula fields. <BR>
Converts nearly all special characters of the basic TrueType fonts (Arial,
Courier New, Times New Roman) I personally made some changes to additionally
support German left quotes and a few other special characters. </P>
 
<P>Disadvantages: <BR>
Does not convert the document structure (i.e. headings are not recognised as
such). <BR>
Does not handle other fields, equation editor objects, graphics. Table handling
is rudimentary (conversion of table cells to minipages, but problems with
borders). <BR>
It only handles RTF versions up to WinWord 2, not yet WinWord 6. </P>
 
<P>Can be found on all CTAN sites, dir .../support/w2latex <BR>
German version is in dir .../support/w2latex/german <BR>
(The ... stands for a host specific base directory, which often is either
&quot;/pub/tex&quot; or &quot;/tex-archive&quot;) </P>
