@NicolaTalbot An aside to my recommendation of docx2tex: it's C#/.NET-based, so it's Win32 technology, but it is supposed to work with Mono and so be usable on Linux. I've not tried to get it to work outside Windows.

@PauloCereda I forgot to add (some may have already suspected) the patch Morton provided for datatool was originally in LaTeX3 syntax, but having no LaTeX3 experience I felt more comfortable converting all the underscores to @ characters. In hind sight, perhaps that would've been a good time to learn about it.

@NicolaTalbot :)
