But abiword cannot convert the equations and formulas written in MS Word as an object. I tried this already, and all the equations just becomes blank. > abiword --to latex file.doc > This results in file.latex being produced.

As the original poster said, the documents includes equations etc. To Original Poster (Ro Wiijkejak) : If you save the document as HTML from MS Word, all the equations will become a picture/graphics. Your scripts will need to handle that. However, html files produces by MS Word is a mess, and contains a lot of proprietary tags I think. But if you can just extract the text and graphics, that'll be great. Unless you're willing to re-write all of your formula using a latex front end of somekind, I don't see how AbiWord can help you converting this. Just my 0.02 cents. Reuben D.
