Just so that you know (not that it's a really good solution or anything) but if you have access to Adobe Acrobat Professional you can export to pdf from TeXmacs and then save as a MS Word document from adobe and the result is "decent". Some of the formatting gets messed up in the process, but the content is there and readable. Only an idea.

I'm having the same problem with my thesis. My professor wants a Word document to edit.

So, if you find a good solution, please let me know.

Hello,

in the next weeks I must prepare notes for a course about SPC/SQC. These notes
will have a lot of formules and graphics, references, and will be 100-150
pages long. To write it my preferred tool would be TeXmacs but the problem is
that I will work with a colleage that only uses MS Word. I don't think that
it's realistic to think I could convince her to use TeXmacs in MS Windows :-(

What do you suggest me to do? Is there any way to share TeXmacs documents in
some way to let her add her work? For example, using a clever
exporter/importer.

The only solution I could think is using OpenOffice.org, it has a filter
for .doc files. Frankly I find OOo pretty unusable to write a complex
scientific work, so I'd rather write the document in TeXmacs and, then,
export it to OOo. What is the best way to do this (if possible)?

If the answer of the previous questions is "No". I will have to learn to use
the OOo equations editor :-( (which is very bad if you compare it with
TeXmas).
