I am interested in going the other way:  Converting MS-Word to
something else (troff, LaTeX).  

After using MS-Word for a while, I find I cannot stand the ugly
summation symbols, the default too-large/too-high ugly subscripts
(with numbers too-big), similarly-bad superscripts, and too-thick
division-bars.  Microsoft, are you out there????  Are you
listening????
