How can I copy and paste from MS Word file to LYX while preserving paragraph
breaks. I'm going to copy and paste 308 page MS Word file to LYX 1.5.4 and
put the formatting back in. When I copy and paste from MS Word to LYX
paragraph breaks gets lost and I have to find paragraph ends and hit enter
in LYX that is too much work it seems.
Just copy the text in Word, and in LyX use "paste special - plaintext
(Ctrl+Shift+V)".
As you most probably don't want to paste soft (conditional) hyphens in
LyX, you have to switch off automatic hyphenation and replace all
manually inserted soft hyphens by nothing, in Word, before copying.
You can also try saving the text from Word as HTML and then importing
that. You'll get a lot of the formatting right that way.
