<br> Hey guys.<br> <br> I have a TeX file. Goal is to convert it to Word (DOC or possibly DOCX) <br> with all fonts embedded so I can send it to my Kindle.<br> <br> Is there anyone here who can do that for me? Much of the file is simple <br>

there is a tex2pdf or tex2ps converter in the repo of any major distro. (ps2pdf would be the second step if going to postscript first). This might help:<div><br><br><a href="http://tex2pdf.berlios.de" target="_blank">http://tex2pdf.berlios.de</a><br>
<br>I'm sure there is a way to convert to Word but ... ugh. Proprietary, closed format, but maybe worst is the strong possibility of massive document formatting loss, etc. I say this from experience with MSWord conversion nonsense over the years, and having dealt with stupidness taking the same PowerPoint file between Windows and OSX just this week, and finding inexplicable formatting differences.<br>
