Re: Converting Lyx doc to word

2010-07-11 Thread Julio Rojas 
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

Hello Willis,
There has been quite a bit of discussion on this topic in the archives,
but maybe you should tell us what OS you are using.

When you say it doesn't seem to work for me can you be a bit more
precise? How doesn't it work?

Cheers,
