However, I suppose they clearly stated that they accept either LaTeX or Word *before* you submitted your manuscript. In both cases, the submission-format is used for the revision process. I don't think it is fair to expect the editors to be familiar with any of the many possible formats of some pre-processing state to generate either of these (OpenOffice, LyX, some HTML2latex or HTML2Word converter, Abiword, Docutils, ...). (Working with OpenOffice while the other side uses Word can be a nightmare too.) Günter
