The problem here is the first line of an exported HTML document by default. You can safely delete that line and then import it into Word or OpenOffice. Alternatively, you can tell org not to generate that line in the first place: (setq org-export-html-xml-declaration (quote ((php . ?php echo \?xml version=\\\1.0\\\ encoding=\\\%s\\\ ?\; ? works for me. -- Eric S Fraga GnuPG: 8F5C 279D 3907 E14A 5C29 570D C891 93D8 FFFC F67D ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

My steps are: - Export org to html - Switch to the html export buffer (filename.html) - Delete the xml lines at the top until the first line is the html tag - Save the html - Open the html in Word It opens fine, and preserves image links, tables, formats, etc. This saves time. I know there was a recent ML post I made on the same topic, and there was a reply on automation which I haven't tried yet. Typically what's happening for me is I write a technical document in Org, and I give it to a tech writer who uses Word to apply company templates. They have less work to do because the Org formatting is preserved. Babel and image links are a boon here! Thanks.

As you said, Word preserves most of the formatting and pictures etc. Looks good! I'll stick with that, setting org-export-html-xml-declaration to ((html . ) (was-html . ?xml version=\1.0\ encoding=\%s\?) (php . ?php echo \?xml version=\\\1.0\\\ encoding=\\\%s\\\ ?\; ?)) which saves me the stripping off the xml header before importing to Word! Excellent! This will help me a lot to produce documents (meeting protocols) fast and easy, sharing the result through MS Word. Thanks everybody for considering!

This allows the look and feel of the Word document to have its own styling independent of html/css styles. I guess the templates they put my stuff in aren't as complex. I like that bold/italic/etc and tables come into Word preformatted. It would be terrible to have to go reapply those manually in Word.
