Hello,
I would like to convert my lyx document to an ODF document.
The reason is that I have someone who wants to proof read and correct
one of my documents ... unfortunatly they use Microsoft word.
In the past I havn't found any good methods for converting ... I
thought that perhaps ODF would be the way to go ... I believe they
have a plugin for MS Word ... so all I have to do is work out how to
get from lyx or tex to ODF ...
I have tried some methods before but have found problems with math
equations and figures ....
Try installing the program "latex2rtf" and reconfigure lyx.
You will now get a export->rtf option, and word will read the .rtf file.
I am not sure this conversion is good though. Math and floating figures
are areas where lyx simply is _better_ than word, so perfect conversion
is impossible.
Please note that lyx now exists in a windows version. So consider
installing windows-lyx on your proofreader's computer. If they allow it.
