Macros WinWord-to-LaTeX German version Note: There are different sets of files for WinWord version 2 and 6: Identical files: readmede.txt = this file = same for both versions ww2ltxde.doc = ww6ltxde.doc user description The other files are different for WinWord 2 and WinWord 6 contents: ww2ltxde.dot ww6ltxde.dot style file & macro container sock2de.doc sock6de.doc working file to be started with sampl2de.doc sampl6de.doc sample file to be converted The macros were adapted to the German version of WinWord. That required: Replace all ^p by ^a (paragraph signs) Replace style names "heading n" by "Gliederung n" Additional changes are: Start with \documentstyle [a4,german,11pt]{article} Replace style name "title" by "Titel" Replace style name "author" by "Autor" Add conversion for - Umlauts \"a, \"o, \"u, \"A, \"O, \"U, \ss{}, - German quotation marks, - Boldface. The order of the conversions was changed: italic and boldface now come after conversion of all other text elements, but before conversion of special characters. Reason: The headings are possibly boldface or italic, but should not be marked as such, because LaTeX has its own heading styles. The characters with special meaning in LaTeX i.e. $ & % # _ { } are converted in first place, i.e. after loading the WinWord doc, but before adding any LaTeX command. In main macro WinWordToLaTeX some instructions were added to ensure that already processed elements (headings, author, title) get the style "normal" (in german version "Standard") to avoid marking them bold or italic. In macro SaveAsText the file extension .TEX is now automatically added if the user did not specify an extension at all (i.e. if filename contains no ".") Reason: File extension would otherwise be .TXT on Save, but .DOC on Load and InsertFile, so the macro would not Insert the previously saved .TXT file, but the unconverted .DOC file. Macro WinQuotesDE added to convert standard quotation marks into German curly ones. In WinWord 6, AutoCorrect for quotation marks is switched off, because LaTeX needs standard quotation marks.
