Possibly, but it must be noted that a converted Word document normally does not contain enough information to "rescue" it automatically, at least not if you expect the markup to be comparable to that used with troff macro packages. For example, in the XML output for all Word documents read by OpenOffice I have seen so far, there are no <text:h> tags, and section headings are represented as regular <text:p> paragraphs, with only a different font weight, font style, or paragraph alignment in the associated style. Thus they become marked as .P in the troff representation; to mark them as .H, you have to expect some handwork. > Gunnar, could you post a direct link to the script? You can download the current version from the online CVS repository at <http://heirloom.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/heirloom/heirloom-doctools/stuff/odt2tr.xsl?revision=1.13&content-type=text%2Fplain>, but unless you want to participate in development, I would generally recommend to stick with the release packages available at <http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/doctools.html>.
