I circulated it to my research group yesterday and I hope it convinces some to try. >From my perspective, I must say: thank you, thank you, thank you! You mentioning pandoc as one of the tools to use made me finally sit down and look at it. I am very glad I did. Just today, I started working on a paper that has to be in Word format in the end. This is always annoying but especially when the paper has mathematics in it. And this one does. I learned that pandoc exports latex to odt and docx including the conversion of equations. I had not been aware of this. This is a real time saver so thank you again! For me, org export to latex followed by pandoc to docx will be my preferred route when I need to create Word documents (which luckily is not that often), rather than using org's export to odt. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.4.50.2, Org release_8.2.6-958-g7c8559-git
