Word 2013 does this for me automatically. Does this do a better job of formatting them?

Impressive! It converted a 500 page long book in under a minute, and the layout looks good. Even the small borders around the informational fact-boxes look good.

I'd rather have a normal program to do this. Too bad there isn't one.

*It doesn't produce word-format, it produces RTF-format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format

The RTF feature set and Word's are closely aligned. You can do everything you can do in Word in RTF too.

Still looking for a PDF to Word converter than can do pdflatex compiled documents... equations, figures, layout, etc. This is one of the worst one's I've tried.

Given that LaTeX is really impossible to reverse once it hits a PDF I doubt that's easy. With some configurations (or LaTeX versions or moon phases, I haven't figured it out) you even get PDFs that contain no text at all because the glyphs don't map to characters anymore. Add into that that each LaTeX PDF contains between 5 and 20 fonts and it gets worse.

XeLaTeX makes things much better, but I guess equations are still very much off-limits.
