Does anybody have any successful experience of converting LaTeX to MS Word?

Obligatory Snark: Why would you want to do that? More serious questions what is the context? What makes this programming related and not a better candidate for Super User? – dmckee Aug 3 '10 at 19:12
@dmckee: quite. I've voted to move to SU. – Charles Stewart Aug 9 '10 at 9:04

Alternatively, it is certainly within scope at tex.stackexchange.com, which has already shown itself to be a source of excellent answers. Consider asking it there, and then posting a link to the question here. – Charles Stewart Aug 9 '10 at 9:33

There is latex2rtf which I have used in the past (with RTF being something Word et al can read). You will need some post-processing, but it is a start.

You could also use latex2html and then open it in Word. (latex2html.org) – Geoff Aug 3 '10 at 19:05

Several ways to convert from LaTeX to Word are described here on tug.org.

I usually go latex -> html -> import to openoffice -> save a .doc

This works best for me, but my latex docs have a ton of images. If you have just text or only a few figures, it should be much easier.

+1 for latex -> html -> openoffice -> doc. I'm doing it that way from the html part forward. – Ivan Petrushev Aug 11 '10 at 6:04

I've used Tex2Word which works pretty well, although the formatting always needs some work.
