Many will actually accept formats not listed in the instruction to authors page. [I had one case where the journal claimed to required Word, but their production department was actually converting this to latex.] Second, if you end up having to convert, be sure to register a complaint. I've had publishers tell me that no one is asking for latex support. Third, you can try out some alternative converters listed here: http://tug.org/utilities/texconv/textopc.html ..good luck...dave case
