Converting LaTeX to OpenOffice, Google docs, Word, etc.

I vastly prefer to create documents using Emacs and LaTeX on my linux machine, but sometimes it's necessary to convert a document created using LaTeX to OpenOffice, Google Docs, Word, etc. I do this by using latex2rtf to convert the LaTeX document to rich text format.

latex2rtf -o mydoc.rtf mydoc.tex

After running the command above, simply open mydoc.rtf in the desired word processor and change margins, spacing, etc. as needed.
