FAQ

What about the other direction, LaTeX2Writer?

Thanks to excellent work by Maarten Wisse, James Naughton and Eitan M. Gurari, a converter from LaTeX to OpenOffice.org Writer is available as part of Eitan M. Gurari's TeX4ht system, see http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html. Writer2LaTeX supports some simple roundtrip editing with TeX4ht.

I have installed Writer2LaTeX as an export filter, but I cannot find it in the Save As menu?

The Writer2LaTeX filters are located in the File – Export menu. This is the place for export-only filters in OpenOffice.org.

The export dialog shows up in a strange language, what is wrong?

This is a bug in OpenOffice.org, which should be fixed in version 3.2. Meanwhile the simplest way to solve this problem is to translate the dialogs into your own language. This is quite simple.
