Hello,

If you ask for the LaTeX file, it's not super difficult to convert using pandoc.

You would want to download pandoc and on the command line type something like:

pandoc mathFile.tex -s -o mathFile.docx

 

where mathFile is the name of your file and change the .tex to something matching the extension of your latex file.

Thanks,

Do you or anyone else know how to convert the latex into Word using one of
the programs mentioned so I can tell my disability coordinator how to do it?


Thank You,
Nick

If you can get the LaTeX files, you can convert them to word/html using
pandoc and MathJax.
