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 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.
