Word2TeX ( www.word2tex.com ) does this job and it seems quite good,
although I haven't used it. You just Save As.. your .doc file in .TeX
format and it has plenty of options, including image convertion.
I don't recommend Word for writing papers - I prefer using MathType so
that you can see what you 're writing and then copy-paste the
equations to LaTeX using the tip bomba923 said. MathType has also
keyboard shortcuts for most of the symbols and customization
flexibility. But it 's worthwhile to spend a few hours learning LaTeX
- it's easier than general relativity anyway! :rolleyes:
Download a copy of technicenter (http://www.toolscenter.org/) or
miktex (http://www.miktex.org/ ) and use their guis. I used Word2TeX
and it is ok, better than retyping everything. The gui's have come a
long way to help speed and productivity, when I started using TeX back
in '88, there were none and you typed in everything from scratch and
spent hours and hours debugging and spell checking to get everything
to compile and run. forget getting a pdf file, they didn't exist and
you has to use postscript.
If you are using linux, try kile (http://kile.sourceforge.net/), it is
the best out there on that platform, but watch out, one of the
libraries will overwrite a library for Fedora Core 3 and you will not
be able to completely upgrade your system.
