Daniel - are you aware of Scientific Word/Scientific Workplace? It's a very
easy way to make documents that have TeX output (also LaTeX, etc.) and it's
miles ahead of other word processors for scientific notations, and comes
with styles for many specific scientific journals. It's much easier to use
than the "equation builders" in most word processors, although at one point
Lotus Ami Pro used a stripped-down version of the same technology.
And I've had no problem shooting the output of Scientific Word through
latex2html other than you have to put some macro files in the right place.
Later,
