Is there a way to export XeLaTeX document into doc or similar?

Question

I need to export my .tex file to .doc. I tried to do it using

mk4ht ooxelatex file.tex

but got complete garbage as output. The file itself is quite simple - some text and a pair of images.

Is there a way to do it?

EDIT:

small example file

Answer 1

The reason why compilation of your document fails is probably that tex4ht has some problems with xetex and fontspec, it is best to use pdftex or luatex as engines for use with tex4ht.

Best option for xelatex documents is to have some switch in the preamble, so you don't load problematic packages when you compile the document with tex4ht

Your sample document corrected:

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}

% NOTES
% Organization?
% Citations in text?

\makeatletter
\newcommand\compparbox[2]{%
\parbox{\dimexpr #1\relax}{#2}
}
\@ifpackageloaded{tex4ht}{
 \usepackage[russian]{babel} % for russian hypenation
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
}{

  % TEMPORARY - remove in final version!
  \setlength{\emergencystretch}{10em}

  \usepackage{xltxtra}
  \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}

  \usepackage[russian]{babel} % for russian hypenation
  \usepackage[top=20mm, bottom=20mm, left=25mm, right=25mm]{geometry}

  \pagestyle{empty} % remove page numbering


}
 \usepackage{setspace}
  \usepackage{enumitem}
  \setlist{nolistsep} % denser list
 \usepackage[colorlinks=true,urlcolor=blue,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref}
\begin{document}

with \@ifpackageloaded{tex4ht} you can decide which package to load or not to load, when tex4ht is running. As first parameter include packages for use with tex4ht, as second packages for xelatex.

Compile with

mk4ht oolatex sample.tex "xhtml, charset=utf-8"

Note: Your parboxes are incorrectly transformed with tex4ht, I think you will need some custom configuration to get it working. But this needs some knowledge of odt xml structure
