There are people that don't want to be disturbed in the world they are comfortable with. It's a waste of time to argue with them. > Any good arguments why one should use LyX instead of word? There have been such answers in the past, should be in the archives. Most advantages of LyX can be attributed to its use of LaTeX as its formatting backend. Main point in a LaTeX-Word comparison is usually LaTeX's superior output (formulas, spacing in general, line breaking), stability (both of the program itself and its file format) and the ease of creating tables of contents, indices, etc., automatically without numbering going wrong. And nobody ever heard of LaTeX eating a thesis paper a day before deadline... Andre'
