Hi,

I'm a relative newbie to Lyx and am using it for writing my thesis. The
problem I'm having is that the pdf output I generate, which looks OK
(bit 'jumpy' looking though), appears to be bitmap images rather than
proper searchable text. For example I need to submit my document to my
university via the Turnitin plagarism detection system, but this
complains that my document contains no text! Also, on the pdf output I
can't do copy/paste text, word counts, word search, etc.

I'm using Lyx on Win XP, set up with the LyXWinInstaller v.1.6.8. It's
all default setup - I know nothing about Latex or what goes on under the
cover!

Always use the "pdflatex" export option.  This will use scalable fonts.
