Maybe turn the groff into something else, (latex, html ) then turn that
into ms-word.

I've been trying with groff_html, to openoffice and then getting
openoffice to save in MS-Word.


I don't know groff or latex. I like plain text. But I think I read
somewhere that latex to msword works pretty well. Can you get latex from
groff?

That is after you calm down.....

Hhehehe thanks!

Yea, plain text is best when it will work. (and it's pretty easy to go
from 'roff to text, afterall, it /is/ text)

That was one of the avenues I looked into, groff can't (as far as I know) go to
TeX, but it can go to DVI (the same intermediate format of TeX based systems)
so, one would imagine, you could go from DVI to ms-word.

I can't find anything to go from DVI to MS-Word.

Unfortunately, searching is sub-optimal, DVI is also a standard for video
hardware.
