Hmm. Given that at least one person in your team must adapt to the others, might I ask why that person has to be you? Is there a reason that your collaborators can't use Org mode and/or LaTeX? (Or at least export their work to plain text, so you can incorporate it in your Org files?) I'm not trying to be antagonistic, or insensitive to your particular situation. But since no one else has said it, I just wanted to point out that it might be easier or more efficient, in terms of overall person-hours, to convert from Word to Org, rather than the other way around. (I don't know anything about MathType, but it would seem within the realm of possibility to *automatically* convert a Word document containing MathType that has been exported as plain text into something Org and/or LaTeX can understand. This site, for example, makes it look like MathType can export to TeX and LaTeX, so maybe that gets you most of the way there: http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/features.htm) Best, Richard _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
