I am a PhD student in ecology. Statistical challenges and visual presentation of complex data are among my favorite professional interests. R is my favorite program.

PS. If you wonder about my weird name or that picture: I am a bassist in a humoristic amateur metal band. Largh is my stage name referring to my large instrument.

comment How to convert a scientific manuscript to MS Word for a coauthor review
@HarishKumar Ok, which parts of the example above are poorly written? For some reason, I can't get natbib references to work, hyper-references are shown with their full url, the title (with authors etc.) and pdf figures are missing

Nja, it just doesn't work like that around here. Some of the old guys just require to get their .doc version of the manuscript. They won't spend their time commenting on pdf's and waste their time correcting formats of poorly converted doc files.

@ Mico: Thanks! I made this just as an example and forgot about that command (used it in one text).

@ Harish: GrindEQ works worse than Pandoc. Both of these are commercial products.

Well...thanks for help anyway. I'll try in 2015 again. Maybe then someone knows.

A practical example. I didn't manage to convert this to .doc satisfactorily.

comment Workflow for converting LaTeX into Open Office / MS Word Format
Thanks! I have to say that haven't used DOS since 1995 or something (I have a Window 7 machine at work). I found the folder with my tex file in Explorer, shift + right clicked it and clicked "Open command window here". Then I pasted in the code you provided (chanced the file name of course). The result is much better than in my earlier trials. One rather basic document is translated to MS Word document rather well. However, the command doesn't like title pages nor it seems to like my Sweave created tex files. This might be sufficient for a ms, but I am still looking for the perfect solution...

comment Workflow for converting LaTeX into Open Office / MS Word Format
This is really a comment, not an answer, but since I haven't got the points to comment... I am really getting sick and tired of this issue. I waste weeks of my time writing these manuscripts with MS Word, because my coauthors want to have their Word documents to use that Track Changes feature they so much love. Word is throwing my pictures all over the document, cross-references mess up, Endnote crashes and adds some weird stuff in the document just before I am supposed to send my ms for a review. Man, I am really close to throw my laptop out of the office window, curse all MS products to hell
