Your post gave me hope that Org -> LaTeX -> docx (via pandoc) would work for me. It does not. The equations do not show up, among many other issues. I'm using Org 8.2.6, pandoc 1.12.3, Pages.app on OS X 10.9 and Word 2011 (v. 14.2.0). I use pandoc like this: pandoc -f latex -t docx test.tex -o test.docx I see Org has exported my "W m^{-2}" as "W m$^{\text{-2}}$", which is not what I would expect in LaTeX. In OS X Pages.app viewing the docx this appears as "W m". In Word it shows up either as just "-2" or "W m-2". In Word, the Math shows up with each character as a box (the math is just missing in Pages). In Word the figures are missing (they appear in Pages). Can you clarify your Org -> LaTeX -> Docx workflow? It would be nice to be able to do this. Thanks, -k.
