I do love LaTeX and I use TeXshop to prepare my papers and reports, but I am often frustated by the fact that I want to share my documents in an MS Word compatible format. I have tried a couple of programs like Latex2rtf with no avail. Anybody knows of a good way to compile your latex document into an rtf or Word format?

  And now, years later, we have http://www.pdfonline.com/pdf2word/index.asp
  
  Works pretty well...

  The short version: there is none. I usually dump them a pdf version, and if they complain that they want to change something, they either get the source, or they can forget it. Rude? yes, but very effective. I never felt the urge to share something in MS Word.

  That said: I've heard reports that a conversion to html will give OK results (forget about maths, that is just impossible in Word).
