Subject: Re: lyx compatibility to MsWord 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.
What an interesting line of work, studying intrigues of Court.
I read "The Prince" when I was too young to understand it.
Never saw the attraction of re-enacting old battles.
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.
I was surprised that it did as good as job as it did. I had been
conditioned on what to expect by computer folklore. And the
field of study of the OP might be publishable similar to yours. I
tried using Adobe Pro to convert pdf to Word (they made a deal)
and that combo did an unacceptable job on that LyX/XY-pic tutorial.
Cheers,
Charles
