Re: [Orgmode] any idea how to convert org file to MS WORD an retain text structure?
Hi Rainer, I tried HTML export and then imported the html in Word but I end up in an unusable xml style document which word wants an stylesheet for which I do not have. This is what does for me the best job if I have to deal with MS Word - LaTeX conversion. How to do it with org-mode was answered already. Let me bring another way into discussion. Sometimes people ask for MS-Word files because they simply do not know it better and the use MS-Word as a kind of media-container format. They ask for MS-Word format but they will not process the document in any way. Simply print it as it is. This is often the case e.g., for conference proceedings where people asked me for a camera ready MS Word document. Already the phrase camera-ready MS Word document contains mutual exclusive words, taking into account what a mess could happen after opening up a MS Word file in a different version (both release and language version) of MS Office. What I did already several times and I never got any complain was the conversion of the generated PDF (from LaTeX) in a single image per page (preferable png, tiff or any other compression format with a non-loss in quality) I placed this page-pictures in a Word-file, exactly as it would be printed (I cropped the boarders with the MS-Word graphic tools. This could be very quickly and easily done for 10 pages by hand. In the printed version of the proceeding, the conference organizers simply added a head- and footnote. I guess they simply opened up every MS Word file marked all content and copy and paste all of them in a MS-Word file with the preferable head- and footnote. As I said, I never got any negative feedback. Maybe the never noticed it at all or there thought it might be some bug, safety feature, different version problem, etc. Just a quick and dirty trick which saves much much time. ;) Greetings Torsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] any idea how to convert org file to MS WORD an retain text structure?
Hi! I love to edit documents in Org. Unfortunately I have to finally deliver text in MS Word. Any idea how to best export/convert my org file to Word?

Export to html. Open in OpenOffice.org Save as .doc Open in MS Word Works for me. It may not be the best way though. HTH.

I also find myself having to strip off the xml line, the first line in the html file created upon export. You should be able to customise org (of course) by changing the org-export-html-xml-declaration variable, either getting rid of the html entry or maybe changing the text argument. I have not tried either. -- 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.

Re: [Orgmode] any idea how to convert org file to MS WORD an retain text structure?
I routinely have to do this. 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.
