then opening it in word works fine for me. ;-)
you can also dig the archives and search for somebody (Carsten?),
who suggested to use a function in the post-hook to do this automatically.

yes, works fine.
My Windows OpenOffice 3.2.0 is not immediately able to save to "doc", not even to "odt".
I have to save to "sdw", then to "odt", then after opening the "odt" the saving to "doc" is possible.
I don't know why.
Thanks everybody.

I also find myself having to strip off the xml line, the first line in
the html file created upon export. You should be able to customise
org (of course) by changing the org-export-html-xml-declaration
variable, either getting rid of the html entry or maybe changing the
text argument. I have not tried either.

I routinely have to do this. My steps are:
- Export org to html
- Switch to the html export buffer (filename.html)
- Delete the xml lines at the top until the first line is the <html> tag
- Save the html
- Open the html in Word
It opens fine, and preserves image links, tables, formats, etc. This
saves time. I know there was a recent ML post I made on the same
topic, and there was a reply on automation which I haven't tried yet.
Typically what's happening for me is I write a technical document in
Org, and I give it to a tech writer who uses Word to apply company
templates. They have less work to do because the Org formatting is
preserved.
Babel and image links are a boon here!
Thanks.

I follow a similar process but remove all styling as well so that Word applies
native styles (which could come from a Word template). This allows the look
and feel of the Word document to have its own styling independent of html/css
styles.
I have customized org-export-html-xml-declaration as follows so that I get an
xml declaration only for .xhtml or .php:
'(org-export-html-xml-declaration (quote (("xhtml" . "<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"%s\"?>") ("php" . "<?php echo \"<?xml version=\\\"1.0\\\"
encoding=\\\"%s\\\" ?>\"; ?>"))))

I guess the templates they put my stuff in aren't as complex. I like
that bold/italic/etc and tables come into Word preformatted. It would
be terrible to have to go reapply those manually in Word.
Thanks.

Hi,
Russel thank you, that is quite perfect!
As you said, Word preserves most of the formatting and pictures etc.
Looks good!
I'll stick with that, setting org-export-html-xml-declaration to
(("html" . "")
("was-html" . "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"%s\"?>")
("php" . "<?php echo \"<?xml version=\\\"1.0\\\" encoding=\\\"%s\\\" ?>\"; ?>"))
which saves me the stripping off the xml header before importing to Word!
Excellent! This will help me a lot to produce documents (meeting protocols)
fast and easy, sharing the result through MS Word.
Thanks everybody for considering!
Rainer
