Thanks Uwe.

Fortunately or Unfortunately, I am aware of all the things you mention. 

- I've tried several times tex4ht (not good results, if at all)
- I have never seen by-default installed the LyX -> .odt option
- I never got a working .rtf
- I've been testing eLyXer since its first days (thanks to Alexander
again for this nice tool)
- I (also?) believe the best way (currently) is to export (somehow) in
html and then OOo/abiword -> M$-Word.

All this is very far from what the statement implies (e.g.
out-of-the-box import/export). Isn't, this statement, a bit/too much?

Cheers, Nikos
