I have a paper composed in notrivial groff (uses pic,

journal that takes any kind of digital text--as

any tool that offers much help in getting from here to
there. I'd be delighted if somebody could tell me I
missed something capable.

It has been a while, but I think I was reasonably successful at groffing to PDF
and then importing the PDF into Word.

I did a Google search for "convert pdf to word" and selected the link
to:
http://convertpdftoword.net/
Use browse field and button to find the file on your system, press
the convert button, and you can open it with your local Word program.
I took a groff file and formatted it into PostScript. Used the Linux
ps2pdf command to create a PDF file, did the conversion and opened it
in LibreWriter. It did a sort of okay job, but dropped all of the
font changes (no bold or italics).
