>From experience this has never proven useful. Interoperability is an issue here with LyX and other word processors. Even if one conversion succeeds (to either a .doc, .docx, .odt or .rtf), you'd likely need to do some clean-up here and there. A fine compromise I have found is to use elyxer¹ as an intermediary tool. Its HTML output is beautiful, and it works with complex parent-child lyx documents including figures. You could also take a look at pandoc (via LaTeX).² ¹ http://elyxer.nongnu.org/ ² http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
