I have my resume in latex and all the recruiter parasites insist on .doc. My solution was to use latex2html to generate nice clean HTML, then pass that through a python script to cleanup a few little things and finaly rename the HTML file to .doc. That manages to fool most recruiter parasites and msword. The above might be a solution. The other thing I was going to suggest is to find another publisher. I co-authored a Linux book a number of years ago (before OOo) and the publisher had decided to use staroffice when working with its Linux authors. > Latex2rtf chokes on the file (works on other smaller files) with no > very useful information.
