[colug-432] TeX

[Steve Roggenkamp]

There's a tex2rtf or latex2rtf translator that will take TeX or LaTeX input
and generate an RTF file.  You could then load that into LibreOffice to
output the DOC format.

The Debian/Ubuntu versions of texlive should include this, if not, its
available from CTAN:  I don't currently have it installed on my machines,
so I can't provide a definitive answer.  I don't know about the RedHat
version.
