Please do not talk to the rest of world in *.doc. Instead use pdf. In that way your document cannot be modified by anybody and it cannot be affected by any macro virus. Anand There are times when there is no choice, for instance when someone wants to add or edit what you have written. In practice in such cases, I used lineno.sty which prints line numbers on each line and allows people to suggest changes by line number. However, there are many times when one would like to be able to produce a word doc for others, but I do realize that word does not have the wealth of formatting that we have in latex so its an impossible dream in all probability. > The lyx team has done a grand job and its nice to be able to say > thank > you > now that we have been reminded not to take it for granted. > > samar > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jean-Marc Lasgouttes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Olivier Ripoll" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <lyx-users@lists.lyx.org> > Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:17 PM > Subject: Re: thanks to LyX team > > > > >>>>> "Olivier" == Olivier Ripoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > writes: > > > > Olivier> Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work > they > > Olivier> do.
