Dear FreeBSD'ers,

On my FreeSBD 4-S box, I would like be able to convert rtf files into LaTeX 
ones, the rtf files having been produced by Word97(/2000), or... by 
StarOffice52 (ie, doc --> rtf).

i) I have tried the rtf2latex port (print/rtf2latex), to no avail;
ii) I have even tried the wv utilities port (textproc/wv): the conversion from 
doc to LaTeX doesn't seem to produce correct output;
iii) I have been googling for a while, but I can't seem to find relevant 
information, except for other people complaining about the same problem. :-)

Is it at all possible to convert relatively complex rtf (or even .doc) 
documents, also containing jpg/png images, into LaTeX ones satisfactorily? 
What am I missing? What are you using out there if I may ask?

MTIA,
Salvo (wishing to make use of *permanent* formats...;-))
