>From an old thread: I recently tried to convert a 30-page document under Windows 7. After many, many tries, including the use of http://www.pdftoword.com/ , I finally installed a Debian VirtualBox, installed LyX/LaTeX, shared a folder between Debian and Windows 7, converted the document to HTML in Debian, opened it with OpenOffice in Windows 7 and exported to Word. "Some" finger paint for styles, tables, figures, footnotes and references and voila. Now, I have native Windows 7 LyX for most of my work and native Linux LyX for the cumbersome conversions. :P ------------------------------------------------- Julio Rojas [email protected]
