--- End of the story ---

Wrote the script (it worked), but some specific complex features from Word still were missed ("how do I do a reference to a picture?") and couldn't be easily supported by pandoc or this script.

Though for a brief time of going full-mode procrastinator and writing another markup language...

Then I had to admit the whole thing wasn't really working and now recommend we move back to Microsoft Word because it's easier.

A day of Total fail, and procrastination, and making everyone install MikTex, pandoc and Python.

I hope I don't regret for suggesting we use Git...
