I routinely have to do this. My steps are:
- Export org to html
- Switch to the html export buffer (filename.html)
- Delete the xml lines at the top until the first line is the <html> tag
- Save the html
- Open the html in Word
It opens fine, and preserves image links, tables, formats, etc. This
saves time. I know there was a recent ML post I made on the same
topic, and there was a reply on automation which I haven't tried yet.
Typically what's happening for me is I write a technical document in
Org, and I give it to a tech writer who uses Word to apply company
templates. They have less work to do because the Org formatting is
preserved.
Babel and image links are a boon here!
Thanks.
