There is now an FAQ on converting to odt/rtf/doc, since there have been
several threads on this question recently:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#convert-to-open-office
The FAQ is based largely on the helpful discussion of this issue late
last month:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/31168
Please feel free to suggest other methods you'd like to see in the FAQ.
Marvin: I'm not sure whether the methods in the FAQ address the problem
of math equations. I believe that some exporters (such as latex2rtf)
convert equations to images, while others (such as ttf) try to render
them in html, etc. Might I ask which converters[1] you have tried? I
might be helpful for the org community to know what does *not* work.
I've had great success with tex4ht and latex2rtf, but my documents don't
include math equations. :)
Best,
Matt
