Start AbiWord, either from Start Menu->Office->AbiWord or typing abiword on the command
line
Open up your Word document.
Then go to Save As -> and choose "LaTeX" from the "Save file as
type" drop-down menu.
You can also do the export via command line.
abiword --to=tex
<file_name>
where <file_name> is the
name of the Word document
This will create a file with the extension .tex
The resulting TeX file is decent, but it will need tweaking.
I wrote some simply shell scripts to convert
doc2tex#!/bin/bash
echo "Doc -> TeX Conversion Tool. Theresa Arzadon-Labajo '11. GPL"
if [ $# != 1 ]; then
echo -e "Usage:\\n\\t `basename $0` <file>"
exit 1;
fi
if [ ${1/*./} != "doc" ]; then
echo -e "Usage:\\n\\t `basename $0` <file>"
exit 1;
fi
FILE_NAME=$1
TEX_FILE_NAME=`basename $1 .doc`.tex
abiword --to=tex $FILE_NAME
if [ $? != "0" ]; then
echo -e "Error creating TeX file"
exit 1;
fi
