I love LyX, and use it for everything, even my private notes, EXCEPT when collaborating. Nobody else I work with uses it. Even if I write the first draft in LyX, and my coauthors do not change the front matter, I cannot convert their file to good LyX. If this were possible I think my coauthors would be trying out LyX and quickly converting. I cannot even get undergraduates or graduate students to give it a try. I should at least be able to convert tex files produced by LyX back into the original version of LyX, even if it takes some ugly hacks like adding extra data to insure the conversion. Hal
