Convert between LaTeX and Microsoft Word for academic manuscripts in either direction, and assemble .tex from mixed sources. Fires on: converting .tex/LaTeX to Word/.docx ("tex to docx", "latex to word", "tex2docx", "convert to word", "pandoc convert"); converting .docx manuscripts to LaTeX for editing and back ("convert to latex", "manuscript", "footnotes", "reference doc", the docx-to-tex-to-docx round-trip / academic paper editing pipeline); high-fidelity delivery where plain pandoc loses tables, mangles cross-references, or fails on custom macros — booktabs/regression tables, OMML equations, cleveref, \estauto, \@@input, \thanks, TikZ, native Word tables, longtable, siunitx; and building .tex from mixed PDF/docx/LLM-generated sources. Replaces and reroutes the retired skills manuscript-editing-template-latex, latex-to-docx-fidelity, tex2docx, and latex-from-mixed-sources.

# LaTeX ↔ Word This skill moves academic manuscripts between LaTeX and Microsoft Word and assembles `.tex` from heterogeneous sources. It consolidates four former skills into three workflows: a footnote-preserving **round-trip** for co-author editing cycles, a high-fidelity **one-way** `.tex → .docx` engine for delivering finished papers to Word-only journals or coauthors, and a set of **knowledge patterns** for building a single `.tex` from PDF/docx/LLM-generated content. Read the deep doc for the workflow you need before running anything. ## Routing | User intent | Workflow | Entry point | Deep doc | |---|---|---|---| | Deliver a finished LaTeX paper as high-fidelity Word (regression tables, math, cross-references must survive) | **B — one-way tex→docx** | `scripts/convert.py` | `references/tex-to-docx-engine.md` | | Iterate on a manuscript with Word-based co-authors while editing in LaTeX (docx→tex→docx, footnotes preserved) | **A — round-trip** | `gui.py`, or `scripts/docx_to_tex.py` + `scripts/tex_to_docx.py` | `references/roundtrip.md` | | Build a `.tex` from PDF / .docx / LLM-generated text | **C — assemble from mixed sources** | knowledge patterns (no scripts) | `references/mixed-sources.md` | ## Which workflow - **B is the default for "deliver my LaTeX paper as Word."** The fidelity engine builds native Word tables, OMML equations, real footnotes, embedded figures, and resolves `\cref`/`\Cref`/`\eqref` from the `.aux`. Use B whenever the paper has regressi
