Also the least time-consuming if you only want to convert one document - some manual touch up was required, but I expected that anyway. /Marcus I found this to method to yield the best results out of the solutions mentioned in this blogpost + comments.

Thanks to your post, I found that the sequence of commands latex FILE.tex tex4ht FILE.tex mk4ht oolatex FILE.tex works well for me. In order to get it to work on Debian, I had to make sure that Sun's Java implementation was installed and then as root execute: # update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun thanks!

I obtained very good results by this method. It is even simpler if the latex was produced directly with texmacs. Andrea A good solution is the following import-export chain:
