Sent from the MacOSX-TeX mailing list archive at. If you are having trouble with borders export directly to LaTeX from NeoOffice. Unfortunately, rtf2latex2e does not correctly translate cell borders in all circumstances. Personally, I rather use place holders for any equations and then edit the TeX code directly.Ħ. First, get your data in a spreadsheet, text file, address book, and create a database. If you want to use these export directly to LaTeX from NeoOffice. Using Writer's Tool menu, NeoOffice users can proof spelling, tabulate word counts, configure autocorrect settings, run mail merge operations and more. Unfortunately, rtf2latex2e does not understand equations entered with the NeoOffice equation editor. rtf2latex2e is smart to only use \usepackage if the table has cells merged vertically.ĥ. You can use a Spreadsheet in NeoOffice to do computations, etc., but the resulting table must be pasted in a Text Document so that it can be exported to an RTF.Ĥ. You can export to LaTeX from NeoOffice, but the resulting tex is very complicated, e.g., a long preamble is created, and cells merged vertically are not preserved.ģ. If you use Microsoft Office, the resulting RTF confuses rtf2latex2e (indeed if you want to convert a Word document to LaTeX, I would open it in NeoOffice and save it as an RTF there and then use rtf2latex2e or directly export to LaTeX).Ģ. No other visual table editor I know can do cells merged vertically.ġ. The resulting tex file, will have the table and it will retain merged cells (vertically and horizontally) and alignments. For text that runs across more than one cell of table, you can merge cells of the.
Run rtf2latex2e (via the Terminal) on the resulting RTF file. If you dont already have it, download and install OpenOffice. Create a new Text Document in NeoOffice that contains your table (and preferably just your table).ģ. Here is the best way I know to visually create LaTeX tables.ġ.
