But, but, you know LaTeX! Knowing word and having to submit in LaTeX is a nightmare. Knowing LaTeX and having to export to word is a matter of replacing your LaTeX to pdf converter with a LaTeX to word converter!
It's a googlesearch away.
Oh no it isn't! In fact that was the workflow I tried for one of the two chapters. It was really painful for many reasons. One of the big things that people always seem to overlook in this discussion (in both directions) is the need to use templates specified by the publisher. That messes up the workflow.
Of course, I do admit that I know LaTeX better than Word.
Word AND their template? Barbarians! What are they thinking? A research embargo upon them!
Can't tell if serious or joking :-/
Just in case, the point about the template is that you can't export from LaTeX to Word and then impose a template on that. You have to start from the template.
Have you published in academia? Almost all conferences, journals, and edited books do indeed require a template.
More or less serious with a touch of hyperbole.
Yes, with LaTeX.
