Hi Bruce, If it were me, I'd copy the secretary's work into Vim (after exporting to text or whatever), and then use Vim's search and replace or other tools to produce the equivalent LyX. You can reverse engineer deduce the codes in LyX by writing a tiny sample in LyX, then look at the resulting file in Vim. Everybody, This is one of many situations where it's vitally important to be able to edit a LyX file in a text editor, which is why it's necessary to make sure our new XML format is as text editor friendly as possible.
