# 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
