LaTeX to MS Word and Equations to MathType

Hi

I am a software developer who is currently working on converting LaTeX file to MS Word and its equations to MathType.

How should I proceed?

Thanks in advance

I would start by researching how both formats are defined. What is similar in them. Generally people want a documetn in a different format that LOOKS roughly the same, so focus ion identifying hows different styles, sizes and weigths in text are defined.

Have you chosen a programming language/are you forced to use a certain language?

As far as I know, (and I'm certain to be corrected if I'm wrong) Perl is a nice choice when you want to manipulate strings (and after all a document is simply a sequence of strings).

Thanks for your reply.

Perl? Your choice. Ok I will try this too.

I have an idea to develop the conversion in VB.NET. But converting the LaTeX equations into MathType seem to be really tough. How to get the MTEF(MathType equation format) is my worry now?

An algorithm to achieve this is still unclear.

Regards
