Hello Vikas, I don't think you can convert latex bits to org automatically. I was in a similar situation few days ago.
I had very satisfying results using LaTeX2HTML and libreoffice convert. (org → latex → html → odt/doc) Citing the procedure I used to convert. ╭─────┤ http://askubuntu.com/a/239332/18411 ├───── │Believe it or not, with complex documents and lots of packages included, I got │much better results with LaTeX2HTML than with LaTeX2RTF, Pandoc or TeX4ht. │ │ latex2html texfile.tex -split 0 -no_navigation -info "" -address "" -html_version 4.0,unicode │ │This will generate a folder with the same texfile name, so you'll be able to │convert the generated HTML to ODT: │ │libreoffice --headless --convert-to odt:"OpenDocument Text Flat XML" texfile/index.html │ │This will produce a index.odt file.
