Thanks Wilfried.

Unfortunately, I need to be able to send 'final' versions of my paper 
to an editor who will expect it to appear perfectly formatted the 
moment he opens it in Word. This really sucks, as it now appears that I 
will have to transfer my l2r-translated documents to another machine, 
running MS with Word, in order to complete the processing of my paper. 
Latex2rtf keeps getting better, but if I have to do any processing in 
MSWord at all there's no longer any point to using oowriter.

The really frustrating thing is that the paper gets converted to pdf by 
the journal before it is sent out to reviewers anyways! After my paper 
is safely accepted I will try again to explain this to the editors 
involved, but they have been very firm in refusing to accept pdf files 
as submissions. Bizarre.

Sorry for ranting,

Tyler
