Re: [O] Using Emacs, Org-mode and R for Research Writing in Social Sciencess
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).
First, you should differentiate between whether the problem is in Org-LaTeX
conversion, or in LaTeX-Docx conversion.
From what you describe above, the problem seems to be in Org-LaTeX conversion.
For me, $W m^{-2}$ in Org produces correct LaTeX markup, and I get a good docx
using Pandoc.

The latest version of Pandoc can now also read in org mode files
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/releases.html#pandoc-1.12.4-07-may-2014
So perhaps the conversion of Org-Latex is no longer needed.

This is very new. As of now, direct Org-docx conversion does not taken into account any LaTeX-specific markup you may have in your Org file. Also, biblatex citations are not supported. If you go Org-LaTeX-docx, it all works fine. Vikas

Yes that equation problem seems to be due to me and Org-LaTeX.
But elsewhere I have
\begin{equation}
x=42
\end{equation}
in Org, which looks just like that in LaTeX, and that appears as just
strange little extended ASCII boxes in MS Word.
-k.

I am on the latest version of Pandoc, and this works fine for me.
Am sending you a sample off-list.

Hi Vikas

You mentioning pandoc as one of the tools to use made me finally sit
down and look at it. I am very glad I did. Just today, I started
working on a paper that has to be in Word format in the end. This is
always annoying but especially when the paper has mathematics in it.
I have been totally addicted to Org-mode, and find it absurd to write
in Word. On the other hand, none of my collaborators use LaTeX or
Org. For a long time, I produced PDFs, circulated them, and then in
the end, when others had to work on the document, bit my lip and
converted it painfully to Word, manually fixing all LaTeX-specific
stuff.
Pandoc is a treat and clearly the way to go, at least until
development of odt exporter catches up.
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

Can you clarify your Org - LaTeX - Docx workflow? It would be nice to
be able to do this.
Thanks,
-k.
