Hi Jorge
Of course there is another option, one which your colleague may just
thank you for in the future -- give him/her a copy of LyX and bring
him/her back from the Dark Side ;-}

I need to convert some of my class notes to (sorry) msword so that a

There are basically 2 options: use ConvTex script and use the LyX
converter.
Neither one works properly. In fact, IMHO, ConvTex makes the best
work...
however all figures are converted to .eps (a lot of them are .eps,
although
I am, by now, preferring .png), This is not the problem, but the
fact that
to use ConvTex we need first export to LaTex, and then use CovTest
to create
a .sxw (OpenOffice 1.0 == StarOffice), then convert to (sorry)
msword. When
LyX exports to LaTex, the extensions in all figures file names are
removed
(and assumed to be .eps in a latex run). Now, ConvTex does not
assumes this,
and expects the extension (whatever) in the Latex text. When run,
ConvTex
does not find the figures, and the exported .swx does not includes the
pictures. As a (brute force) solution, after exporting a LyX to
Latex, I
must add .eps in all figure file names in order to ConvTex work. I
can't
find in the LyX preferences a way to change that. The converter to
export to
Latex ( LyX -> Latex converter) doesn't show in the list of
converters to
try to fix this. Any idea?
Thanks

(converter to export to OpenOffice messes up considerably the
equations in
the text. Not good yet)
