Yes. >> You might need to tweak the commandline flags. > > do you mean "latex" and perhaps "bibtex"? No. I mean the flags for latex2rtf.

Unfortunately there is no real solution for the bibtex problem, but as a workaround you can run view->update postscript just before exporting. Then the bibtex files will be generated. In the long term we should introduce a needbbl flag for the converters. >> And I am wondering why we >> don't serach for latex2rtf by default. > > so am I! I will add it if you can confirm that the converter entry \converter latex rtf "latex2rtf -p -S -o $$o $$i" "needaux" works for you. Georg
