#No transform text in word 2007 pdf

I incorporate any comments I get back from the team in Word versions back in my LaTeX and make the final product a PDF from the LaTeX.

This works well with simple documents, but only the Windows version of Word can open PDFs. If I am the owner of the document, I first write it in LaTeX, convert it to PDF, open it in MS Word and save it, before sharing it with the team. These are the workarounds that I use to work with our team. I still try to work in TeX as much as possible, because a) I am more comfortable with the workflow and b) because it produces much nicer documents. If you are 'forced to use MS Word to write my reports', I assume that it is because you are working in a team that uses MS Word to produce collaborative documents, and not that you don't have access to TeX. Set percentage of zoom of view of active window to 196 (tested on Macbook Air) tell application 'Microsoft Word' This script zooms word perfectly to fit a styles menu panel on the right side of the program so that you can see the other 'Word Styles Setup' in action. Set name of font object of item styleStep of wordStylesList to newValueĭisplay dialog 'There was a problem with the script.' Repeat with styleStep from 1 to count of wordStylesList On setupfontObjectStyle_(styleName, newValue) My setupfontObjectStyle_('all', fontChoice) set fontChoice to text returned of (display dialog 'Please select a font' default answer 'Latin Modern Roman') This is not a problem in the original script above, because of a complicated workaround using the find and replace command. Warning: There is a glitch in that when changing the name property of the font object of Word styles, a list template is applied to heading 1. I recommend using Latin Modern Roman, because it is the unicode font, which replaces CMU when working with XeLateX. It can be expanded to set specific styles, but I have not finished it yet. This AppleScript handler sets the font for all styles.

toggle bold or italics for various styles.

set font sizes for various heading styles.

Note: You can edit the plist file to your liking. It supports xelatex export too! It also does a nice job exporting tables.Ī project I worked on to make Word documents resemble LaTeX documents.

I offer two options for you (Option 2 is best if you aren't going to compile anymore):ĭownload OpenOffice for free and download writer2latex, also free. Put your tables and figures at the bottom or top of a page.Indent the first line of each paragraph (although I personally don't like that).A wider left margin also might make it more LaTeX-like.(BTW: The key to using styles in Word is to assign shortcut-keys for the most-used ones)

These could be the styles from the template mentioned, or your own defined styles. Practically, this translates to using paragraph and character styles rigorously. Most Word documents have the tendency to be a collection of slightly-different layouted text blocks because there is nothing that forces the user to do otherwise.

I think that, apart from the typesetting, the consistent output produced by LaTeX is one of the things that make it look like LaTeX.

Make your document look as consistent as possible.

Other academic publishers (like Elsevier) also have similar Word templates (use Google to find them). The author section of the IEEE website also provides a 2-column Word template for their papers, resembling quite a lot the LaTeX one.

Use the LaTeX Template for Word mentioned by Caramdir (make sure to install the 3 mentioned fonts).

Besides all the ' it isn't possible' advice, what I would advice is:
