Word2TeX
Word to LaTeX converter
Word2TeX is a Word to LaTeX converter designed in order to use with Microsoft Word and enables
Microsoft Word to save documents in LaTeX format. This gives the opportunity to
convert existing Microsoft Word documents to LaTeX and to create new LaTeX documents
right in your mainstream word processor rather than requiring a completely separate
editing environment. Using Word2TeX in conjunction with Microsoft Word, you can
easily create articles, technical reports, research papers, dissertations and even
entire books for such hard and not always comfortable markup-based system as LaTeX.
It doesn't, in fact, require that one even learn LaTeX in order to publish LaTeX papers,
and so can save students and other newcomers to scientific publishing the long climb up the
LaTeX learning curve and also can help LaTeX experts to save their time. Instead of
inputting LaTeX commands, you can simply use Equation Editor (or MathType) in Microsoft Word
to create equations and you easily click and point to insert a picture or to
make a table. Then you can convert your document into LaTeX format with the help
of Word2TeX. Thus, Word2TeX leverages your investment in
Microsoft Word.
What For?
Why you may need your documents to be in LaTeX format? LaTeX is a de-facto standard in scientific publishing and many scientific publishers accept papers only in LaTeX format. LaTeX documents can be published not only on the paper, but on the Web using, for instance, pdfTeX which compiles TeX/LaTeX documents to PDF. To see samples of PDF documents created with Word2TeX please see Word2TeX Samples.
How do I use it?
Once Word2TeX installed, its operation is seamless.
Below is Word to LaTeX conversion in 3 steps:
- Start Microsoft Word, open the document you want to convert;
- Save as "TeX" with "Save As..." menu;
- Close that document.
That's all! I told you it was easy.
You'll say: "OK, what if I need some specific type of LaTeX format, for instance, REVTeX (Physical Society LaTeX)?" -- Word2TeX can be customized to create any type of LaTeX-based format!
