LaTeX2ODF or LaTeX2Doc
Good morning. Can you point me at a procedure which excludes the use of TeX4ht and allows to convert LaTex to ODF or Doc?

Re: Windows XP still in use?
Somewhere, there is a happy medium, where we have all the functionality we actually need, presented in a logical manner that still allows for some user configuration and customisation.

Re: Windows XP still in use?
A well patched Windows version is always a good option. No matter any new version with "whistle and bells". However, when Microsoft stop its official support then using an older version comes with a risk of security vulnerable. Where I live, people have a crappy satellite connection or no...

Re: eM Client Pro for Linux
Good morning. I have to plant some trees but am not too keen to dig holes in the rain. So finding this topic, while sitting close to my nice little wood-stove, comes handy.., in a way. The demand for a Linux MUA to “ integrate ” in SoftMaker-Office for Linux had amply been discussed in the German sp...
