There is a more direct method that you can use though at first it requires = some work. Then again, it might not work if the formatting used is quite complex. A long while ago I had to join several Word documents to form a book and ou= tput as a pdf for the publisher. As usual with all collaborative work in acedemica, nobody followed the guid= e lines. Word choked on putting such a large document together. A real mess! So, I d= ecided to convert every thing to LaTeX. I wrote a few Word macros that converted = the = quotation marks to commands, converted the footnotes to LaTeX commands, translate the =F6=E4=DF, etc to LATeX, and the Word-formating to LaTeX- Com= mands = environments of my own liking (names). = Saved the documents as standard text file. In LaTeX I set up the environmen= ts as I = needed then. = This work flow work quite well. = regards Keith.

Exporting to LaTeX 2e is possible (and standard equi= pment in LO-W) but after using both for a while now, I vastly prefer ConTeX= t.
