Hi,
What do you have to do to export in these formats. Neither work for me on 1.4.3 with XP.
Thanks,

I don't think they work. Export the file as .tex from LyX.
Then from the command line "htlatex foo.tex" = foo.html
which can be directly imported into Word, = foo.doc
htlatex is part of the TeX4ht package:
When I do: "htlatex foo.tex=foo.html" it returns: "Please type another input file name" so I type "foo.tex" and everything seems to work except that I get a bunch of different foo files like "foo.log, foo.aux, foo.idv", but no foo.html file anywhere. The TeX4ht package was already installed by MikTeX.

What I'm really trying to do is get a good output from LyX into Word (Since my advisors want a Word document to read for my thesis) with pictures and most formatting complete. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I apologise in advance for a completely different tack, but it is the OS X in me.

I export my documents as PDF (ps2pdf)which is a direct copy of LyX document. It can then be read using a PDF reader, Acrobat is free and actually allows one to add notes to original document.

Cheers!

Acrobat Reader is free but the program which enables making comments
in the pdf file is Adobe Writer (Pro) which is not free. A university
probably has a license in some department or other. The supervisor(s)
would have to be satisfied with including notes, not changing the text.
Conversion from Pro pdf to Word doc is fairly terrible, but the Note
making toolbar is a quite flexible alternative.


Writing comments in pdf files is possible, according to Adobe, only if
the permission is set by the author and has to be dome using Adobe Products.

/quote In Adobe Reader, you can add comments only if additional usage rights
that enable commenting are added to the PDF document by Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Professional or Acrobat server products. Otherwise, commenting tools aren't 
available.

Adobe Reader is free, Adobe Acrobat is not, was my point.
