Hi there,

Sorry if this is a "frequently asked question"; I never thought I
would need this but now I do!!

Is there such a thing as a Word (preferably version 4) to Tex
(OzTeX or TeXtures) translator?  We need to do this but we have two
problems making it more difficult:

	- we write in french so we would need to translate accented
	  characters to their equivalents using \ constructs;

	- the Word files contain expressions taken from Expressionist
	  that we would like to convert to their TeX equivalent.

I know the "Copy as text" feature of Expressionist, but is does it for
only one expression at a time.  We have long documents with many
expressions to convert.  Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
