Hi Nikola, I would consider it a miracle if exporting to ODF/Word worked perfectly. LyX is not actually responsible for the export. LyX just uses other exporters that you have installed on your machine. If you happen to be using the newest LyX version, 2.2.0, LyX now supports exporting to ODF using Pandoc. I have no idea if the export is better/worse than with tex4ht, but Pandoc is under much more active development I believe so there is a chance it is better. So you could try installing LyX 2.2.0 and the newest version of Pandoc. If you are not using LyX 2.2.0, I would warn you to be careful when changing from LyX 2.1.x to 2.2.0 at an important time. Make sure you have time to address unwanted consequences of using a major version upgrade. If you happen to be on Ubuntu, you can easily use 2.2.0 alongside 2.1.x so they do not interfere with each other.
