Hey everyone,
Nice to know I am not the only one!!!
I have no problem cutting and pasting my tex, into open-office (and
hacking together all my references and figures :) , and exporting to
word if thats what is required, but i feel obliged to point that .tex is
a far more popular method of presentation, in my experience.
I use LaTeX because I don't like formatting documents, I also don't
like paying for software so I use free stuff instead. Microsoft Word
documents are not a good standard to use in my opinion, I could leap in
to a dia-tribe as to why, but that would probably be tedious for you all
to read :)
Thanks for all your replies

All,
This may be true, but that means I have to take my paper that's
currently
in LaTeX format (with a complete BibTeX bibliography) and re-edit it
into
another word processor... just so I can get the style information for
the
paper?
If Enda or someone were to put together the actual typographic
specifications in a textual format, then we* can create or modify a
LaTeX
stylesheet to work for those of us using ... well, LaTeX, anyway.
For an example of what I mean, see
http://www.tcnj.edu/~compsci/sigcse2002/format.html
which describes in enough detail a paper format such that any document
creation tool could be used to create a paper for that conference.
Or, perhaps this is what Enda is going to send me. ?
Thanks,
Matt
* "We" who are interested in this, because we're allready invested in
the
tools we're using... "we" people like me... who could probably hack the
stylesheet, and whose interest it would be in to hack the stylesheet...
and who will stop speaking in the third person...
