The last time I checked - around half a year ago - there were no open-source or widespread tools to do, what you want *and* create a reasonable result. Creating .DOC or .ODT files from TeX input AFAIK is not a trivial use case ... although I never understood, why this (still) is the case for the XML-based ODT standard and standard TeX modules. Both TeX and XML are markup languages?! However, pandoc never worked for me and latex2rtf created a .DOC without any formatting, missing images, broken citations (seems my style wasn't supported) and so on. So this resulted in a lot of manual work. So IMHO: What you request is not an easy task even for experienced users and especially if you expect some custom layout in the result. There are some (free) online services, where you can push the .TEX source and they then send you a .DOC or .ODT after processing it. There are even some commercial tools, which do cost something. I would highly appreciate better FOSS tools to create .ODT or .DOC from TeX input. But I guess one of the main issues here is, that TeX can be extended with modules and such a tool would probably never be able to deal with unknown-to-him TeX modules.
