Alternative A:
---------------

Write it in LaTeX (or lyx), convert it to rtf using latex2rtf

You have at least a couple of choices:

* contribute your work as rtf (readable by Word)
* open your rtf file in OpenOffice and save as .doc (readable by Word)

Alternative B:
--------------

I think this works as well

1. Write your document in LaTeX
2. Convert from latex to html using latex2html
3. Rename your document to .doc (ex: foo.html renamed to foo.doc)

This .doc-file which is actually a html-text, will trick Word to believe it is a Word-document. When Word opens it, Word discover it is actually a html-file, and will convert it.

Alternative C:
--------------

Write in LaTeX, publish as pdf
