My meta comment to this discussion is:

Is there any information in this thread that will help a TeXmacs user accomplish a task? This was the original point, right? Converting TeX to word?

I know, I contributed to the escalation as well, and I'm sorry that I did.

Clearly, some people have great success using TeXmacs to create articles for submission to publications and conferences. Others have not. Perhaps those that have been able to do this without a day of work could share some of their tips and tricks? Because at least one contributer to this forum has stated a dread of this process and could probably use some help.

Thanks,
John D.

I'd like to inject a meta comment here:

I think a large factor of this discussion is that differnt people are
seeing TeXmacs as having a differnt "target market". We might see it
as a tool for submitting papers to journals. Maybe, as I previously
demonstrated, we might see it as a tool for creating web pages. Or
as something to approach the "ideal way of editing documents". I've
even made progress in making a document that's a filemanager, so maybe
I could see TeXmacs as a filemanager that dosn't work right yet.

If I see it as a tool for creating web pages, and someone else sees it
as a tools for submitting papers to journals, then it'll be easy to
run into disagreements.

We were talking about Professors, advisors, grad students, etc., weren't we ?
I doubt that we were talking about the editor that a Professor might use to
draw up his weekly shopping list :)
Of interest, I do :) I'm not a professor, but I use it for everything I can.
