Hi all,

I know this question has been answered 1.1 million times on the list, but I 
couldn't quickly find it in a search so I thought I'd ask it again...

On my second-to-next book I'm going to use the services of a real copy editor. 
Most copy editors prefer (ugh) MS Word. I have to admit when I wrote Samba 
Unleashed, the copy editing/proofreading process did work very well with MS 
Word.

My book will be typographically fairly simple and mostly styles-based. What's 
the best way to convert from LyX to MS Word, hopefully retaining my styles. 
I'm more than willing to rewrite my style definitions on the MS Word side -- 
I'd just like the text marked by those styles to be retained as styles on the 
MS Word side if possible. If not possible, having the appearances carry 
through would be sufficient, as ultimately I'll need to manually put the 
editor's suggestions back in my LyX doc.

By the way, if any of you do proofing/copy-editing for a living, please feel 
free to email me off list.

Thanks
