I totally agree with you. TeX4ht will not work well with documents impossible (or very difficult) to create in Word with formulas, diagrams, etc. But in my field of work, Medieval History, it is possible today to write an article in Lyx and at the end of the process convert it to MsWord. It is very important for me because 100 % of Scientific Journals and Publishers in my field of study demand MsWord. I don't really care for a 'perfect' translation ; Journals will then reformat the article in their own DTP system, I just don't want to loose any formatting information. One should say loudly that TeX4ht works because it is too common knowledge in LaTeX circles that Word and LaTeX are incompatible. Cheers, Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org
