Two ways to get your LaTeX document to Word

Some LaTeX afficiendos might think … WHY? … but there is always a reason to transform your nicely layouted LaTeX file into something that resembles it in word. Journals that do not accept LaTeX files or PDFs as a submission is one, and probably the most important (and annoying) for researchers.

Here is a solution that seems to work. Use the LaTeX generated PDF and transform it into a Word file, using the following link:

I tried it and it works nicely, even with some (basic in my case) formulas.

An alternative prodecure that seems to work well is Grindeq which also allows to transform LaTeX documents to Word:

Edit: there is an alternative procedure by Tyler Ransom posted on Github specifically for Journal of Human Resources publication (follow the link here)
