How can a wordprocessor like Wordperfect, >Word for Windows or Ami read these files? I spent what seemed like an eternity at my previous employer converting LaTeX files to WordPerfect 5.1 (the actual time spent was several months for a 200 page document but that included a significant re-write of the document). The only way I found to do it was manually: import each LaTex file as ASCII text into WP and then strip out all of the LaTeX commands while adding the right WP formatting. Boring, tedious, mind-numbing, uncreative,... If you hear of anything better, drop me a line (I still know some poor S.O.B.s there who would rather not have to do this kind of stuff).
