Word2TeX is a converter designed to enable Microsoft Word to save documents in LaTeX format. This gives the opportunity to convert existing Microsoft Word documents to LaTeX and to create new LaTeX documents right in your mainstream word processor rather than requiring a completely separate editing environment.
Using Word2TeX in conjunction with Microsoft Word, you can easily create articles, technical reports, research papers, dissertations and even entire books for such hard and not always comfortable markup-based system as LaTeX. It doesn't require that one even learns LaTeX in order to publish LaTeX papers. Students and other newcomers to scientific publishing can save the long climb up the LaTeX learning curve and LaTeX experts can save time.
Instead of inputting LaTeX commands, you can simply use the Equation Editor in Microsoft Word (or MathType) to create equations and you can easily click and point to insert a picture or to make a table. Then you can convert your document into LaTeX format with the help of Word2TeX. Thus, Word2TeX leverages your investment in Microsoft Word.
