Thanks, Liviu. I'm in scattershot mode right now. Trying things almost mindlessly. I guess I don't know how to install converters. I've tried to install the LaTeX to RTF converter from /preferences/file handling. I select the converter, apply it, reconfigure, restart LyX. When I restart LaTeX to RTF doesn't show up in /File/Export, and when I go back to /preferences/file handling another converter is selected. My document is simple. Headings and footnotes. About ten pages. I'd like to see if the LaTeX to RTF convertor will handle it.

Working in LyX from the get-go---more or less
I've been away from LyX for a while, writing in Vim. I now have a document that I need to cut down to 3,500 words from just under 5,000, put references in, and get into APA format in Word. Normally, I would dump the draft in Scrivener, do this work, then compile for Word. I really want to get completely over into working within Vim/LyX/LaTeX. I'm considering dumping the draft in LyX and working from within it. My deadline---probably not a hard one---is tomorrow. Having been away from LyX for a while, I'm a little rusty. I don't know if this is even possible. When I click on View other formats, the RTF format is greyed out. If in fact I can compile for or export to RTF, I'd like to give it a try. Es posible?

This depends: * With use non tex fonts (i.e. XeTeX or LuaTeX with the fontspec package), make sure that the fonts are known to the system. Thanks, Guenter. A guy on the tex on mac osx listserv gave me a simple way to install the fonts and get them recognized on the system: start the mactex/tex live installer, deselect everything that's already selected, select the install tex gyre fonts option, complete the install. When that's done the fonts are installed in the user's system font folder, i.e., ~\library\fonts. * With 8-bit TeX engines (latex, pdflatex), vote for the bug to include support for more font packages (or collect money to pay someone to implement it) ... For the time beeing: leave the GUI font setting at [Default] and select the relevant font package in the user preamble. For reasons explained to me by Stefano---the main one being that the app in which I compose, Scrivener, exports unicode---I am going with xetex for compiling. Prior to that I tried a latex compile with the tex gyre specified in the preamble, but it didn't work. Got a message to the effect that could not open 'file.dvi'. Again, thanks for responding.

How to set off a subsection without using a heading
In one section of an article I'm working on I have several subsections that I want to call attention to without using headings. Currently I'm using a centered 3 line between subsections. I don't like the look. It's too intrusive. One possibility would be to add an extra line between subsections, but I think I'd like to give the break a little more emphasis than that. Any suggestions?

Actually, that would be the main distribution tree. The local TEXMF
tree would normally be under your user directory. On linux it is
usually ~/texmf, on the mac I suspect it probably is ~/Library/texmf
or perhaps ~/Application Support/texmf. Mac people would know more.
As a general rule, it is always better to put your personal additions
to the tex collection in your lcal tree. That way they will not be
overrun/erased/forgotten when you update texlive.

Actually, that would be the main distribution tree. The local TEXMF
tree would normally be under your user directory. On linux it is
usually ~/texmf, on the mac I suspect it probably is ~/Library/texmf
or perhaps ~/Application Support/texmf. Mac people would know more.
As a general rule, it is always better to put your personal additions
to the tex collection in your lcal tree. That way they will not be
overrun/erased/forgotten when you update texlive.
Thanks, Stefano. I moved it to: ~/library/texmf. Or should it go in:

More questions about this, Jürgen. You said you use these routinely. Where
should I put them? In the lyx preamble? And does the routine use apply to
\usepackage{microtype}?
I my most recent compile of the document Stefano's been helping me with I have
a bunch of characters outside the right margin, some in which there's an
obvious hyphenation that could've been done.

How to set off a subsection without using a heading
In one section of an article I'm working on I have several subsections that I want to call attention to without using headings. Currently I'm using a centered 3" line between subsections. I don't like the look. It's too intrusive. One possibility would be to add an extra line between subsections, but I think I'd like to give the break a little more emphasis than that. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Jürgen. Are these used when needed or do you use them with every
document?
Thanks for the link, too.
