Hi, every year I am completing final reports for our institute. It is complex document with figures, citations, footnotes etc. often with more than 300 pages. So the LibreOffice used for editing is a little bit slow and I do not think the limiting factor is the PC and I also do not think switching to Word would improve anything (Word can easily make me angry when do have to work with it).
So I am thinking about two possibilities: 1) to stay with LibreOffice and only to use the main document (*.ODM) used to join all the chapters which are separate files and thus it could reduce the system load during the editing. 2) to move to LYX, but I am unsure whether it is possible to at least partially import current work or whether I would have to define all the styles again from scratch. I still will have all input files for the report as DOC or DOCX files. Second, I assume that LYX should be able to handle large texts as books etc. but have no practical experience with it so would be fine to know how it could behave. what do you think about it? thanks Jan PS: the visual comparison between LYX and LibreOffice PDF output is not important for my boss :-)
