I've just got the approval on the formatting of my dissertation. So,
I'm done! I have to say that I could not have done it without Lyx and
without your help. Thanks!
Congratulations on finishing your dissertation.
I wrote my MA dissertation in MS Word, shortly before I made the switch to Linux. Formatting it was a nightmare - I spent hours setting up a stylesheet, only to have it change itself for no apparent reason. Eventually I got it to behave the way I wanted and thought "Oh well, at least I'll be able to use it for subsequent papers." I got back after the summer break to find one of my colleagues had managed to delete it.
A few months later I stumbled across LyX while searching desperately for a Linux word processor (OpenOfice and KOffice didn't exist in those days). My first thought was - "Damn! _This_ is what I should have been using!"
