You loose the structure this way, every header is translated
in the same style (among other things).
The import/export from MSWord towards HTML has destructive features:
- exporting translates styles as font instructions instead of HTML tags,
- importing doesn't use styles
Some parts are well translated however (bibliography, figure, tables)
so the hacking of the structure can be done quickly (if needed).
For formulas the only way I know is ltx2rtf.
If you have figures, don't forget to « break the links » (which means
that you put the images in the document instead of kkeping them as links,
following the same logic as « strt » for « stop » :-), otherwise you document
cannot be moved without loosing them.
