I have linux at home and windows at work and I occasionally move a lyx file from one to the other. It is perfectly straightforward. The key gotchas I can recall are these and they are not serious: - the lyx versions must be identical. - if there are any special modules, both must be present in both places. - the file might well look a little different in lyx on Windows and Linux. This is not a real problem for me but might be if your colleague is not co-located with you. - My Acrobat Reader on Windows is anti-social about closing the file. I always have to approve closing the existing version when I compile a new version. Best regards, John -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
