I have a paper composed in notrivial groff (uses pic, eqn, tbl, and .PSPIC), which I'd like to submit to a journal that takes any kind of digital text--as long as it's Word or RTF. I haven't been able to find 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.

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).
