Hi, And thanks to everybody who answered my question. To summarise, unless I am prepared to pay some money ( and I am not :-) ) there is no straightforward solution. The only thing available is wp2latex which is not in a Debian package. I 'll probably give it a try.
As far as MS-Word is concerned, Staroffice does a decent job for me. Pity it only accepts Word documents from the widely available comercial formats. Thanks to all George ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- George Kapetanios Churchill College Cambridge, CB3 0DS E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] U.K. WWW: http://garfield.chu.cam.ac.uk/~gk205/work_info.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
