Is it possible to convert asciidoc article (one file) into Word
document

Not officially. You could try the experimental odt backend, load in
libreoffice and save as those.
Thanks. Where I can get this backend?
https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf
this looks extremely useful when we have to talk to MicroSoft-world
people. but sadly, I tried that and got errors...
ping@640g-laptop%asciidoc -b odp asciidoctips.txt
asciidoc: WARNING: asciidoctips.txt: line 4: include file not found:
/etc/asciidoc/backends/odp/asciidoc.odp.styles
asciidoc: FAILED: asciidoctips.txt: line 4: illegal [miscellaneous]
subsverbatim: specialcharacters,callouts,replacements3: replacements3
so the -b odp expect to locate:
/etc/asciidoc/backends/odp/asciidoc.odp.styles
but look at the installation, it actually copied the "backends" folder
into user home dir .asciidoc:
ping@640g-laptop:~/.asciidoc$ ls
backends filters themes
ping@640g-laptop:~/.asciidoc/backends/odp$ ls
a2x-backend.py asciidoc.odp.styles asciidoc.otp odp.conf
what is the correct folder to install and to refer? how to solve this
issue? I don't want to make any dirty tricks to ruin out the system
default behavior, unless have to...
ok, I fixed the issue by:
[following work done from a ubuntu machine:]
1) ln ~/.asciidoc/backends/ to /etc/asciidoc/backends
ping@640g-laptop:/etc/asciidoc$ sudo ln -s ~/.asciidoc/backends/ backends
2) upgrade asciidoc from 8.6.7
current issue:
1) although I still get following "warning":
asciidoc: WARNING: asciidoc.txt: line 3155: include file not found:
/data/backup/xnix/asciidoc/customers.csv
I end up with the fodt file generated! amazing! see attached 3 files:
fodt,
doc(converted from fodt in libreoffice), fodp.
[following work done from a windows7 machine]
the fodt and MS-doc file looks nice.but
2) the fodp file I can't open. libreoffice report:
general error/general input/output error.
3) the fodt file generated can be opened from libreoffice, save as word97
(doc) is also good. but saving as office2010 (docx) crashed the
libreoffice...

It might also be wise to use the git version, I think there are
changes in that which are not in the downloads.
thanks lex, I'm trying that now:

ping@640g-laptop:~/bin$ hg clone -r 8.6.8
https://asciidoc.googlecode.com/hg/ asciidoc-8.6.8
hg: command not found
why is that installed hg command "not found"?
Don't know, thats not an asciidoc question :)
And I meant to use the git asciidoc-odf.
Also please reply to the list not to individual posters.
got it.
so this works:
hg clone https://code.google.com/p/asciidoc/
and now I have even the newer asciidoc 8.6.8 :)
I'll try git asciidoc-odf as you mentioned (need to figure out how though).
thanks!
Cheers
Lex
