LaTeX to RTF converter / News: Recent posts

This version introduces the use of styles in the RTF conversion. This should facilitate changing all the appearance of, say, all section headings in the converted document.

This version contains important 64-bit compatibility fixes.

Support for converting equations and tables to bitmaps for inclusion in the RTF file has been significantly enhanced. Results almost look good.

Tabular conversion has been significantly improved.

I've added the package latex2rtf-win64-gui. It works for Win NT, 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista, also on 64bit versions. It contains the latex2rtf program plus a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and an automatic installer.

The difference to the latex2rtf-win-gui package is that latex2rtf-win-gui contains some helper programs which are 16bit programs and thus will not run under 64bit versions of Windows.

The package latex2rtf-win64-gui contains only Win32 programs which will also run under Win64 but maybe slower than the 16bit versions under Win32 systems.
