No I'm not using Word(well not if I can help it. I
normally use OOo as a WP, with "smart quotes" off, but
I get some very badly formatted  Word documents for
internal use.  Occasionally it is easier to put them
into LyX than it is to try to reformat them into
something readable in Word.

Normally I would just open a Word file in OOo but some
people have so few clews about formatting that
cleaning up a Word document is more trouble than it's
worth for internal use.  LyX handles a lot of the
problems very quickly and invisibly. 

Thanks

Thanks though
