I have in the pas used Tex2word from Chikrii software with success. Equationa are correctly translated in this case, figures not, but I prefer to include them in the optimal format for Word myself. This is commercial software (a plugin for Word), but it is not expensive and has even a lower education pricing policy. It uses MathType (but the free version of it is enough). Murat
