How can I change the properties to get an output to a .doc-file so I can open it in Word. Now I only can choose PDF or HTML.

    You can't. The .doc file format is very complex and it would be very difficult to write a PHP script to create such a document. We don't think it's worth the effort.

    What's wrong with having the output in PDF or HTML format? Some work is going on to add TEX to the supported output formats. I believe the person doing this work has had some success, but some more work remains to be done.

    Since this post is a request for a new feature, and doesn't report anything as not working, I'll move the post to the Feature Request section.

    Gerry's right, this is never likelyb to ahppen in a php project.

    You could try this tool though, for off-line conversion:

    I've never used it though, so can't say how well it works.
