Re: Microsoft Word to Lyx
Hi, thanks to all the replies! Most of the methods described were really good and would worked with most of my documents. However, I have used this feature called autocorrect in this 100 page document which replaces characters such as ', - and many others with some characters which seem to throw errors when I do the conversion. S0 i think I will do a manual copy and paste into Lyx :(. Thanks for your suggestions. I will use it for my other documents :) --- Lars Risan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On tirsdag 12. oktober 2004, 08:27, Kelvin Ngo wrote: Is it possible to conver documents from Microsoft Word to Lyx?

That is my method using Writer2Latex : 1) Import the Msword in OpenOffice with the Article stylesheet provided in the Writer2LateX distribution. 2) Search Replace styles to format your article with Article styles (Title, Section, Subsection, citation, etc.) 3) Save the document in OpenOffice format and then translate it to Latex 4) Optional apply a sed script on it to clean the file 5) Import it in LyX Charles http://www.kde-france.org
Re: Microsoft Word to Lyx
Dear All When I was an user of MS Windows, there was an excellent program to convert MS Word documents to LaTeX: it was called Word2TeX and it was free of charge. I would recommend that program... but, nowadays, it costs money and probably the free of charge solutions indicated here should be preferred. They also have a converter LaTeX to MS Word, but I have never used it. If you are interested, have a look at: http://www.chikrii.com/ Paul

Re: Microsoft Word to Lyx
Not, if they are very complicatedly structured... If they are simple, I follow a simple routine: a) I use KWord under Linux to open the doc-file b) I export from Kword as .tex file c) I check if the LaTeX file will run in TeX d) I start LyX and import the LaTeX file Now, pictures, tables etc need special routine: pixel graphs I transfer into a jpeg (from OpenOffice) with long and complicated tables I feel bad, but I have no routine... just manual effort.. hope I encouraged you.. -KB On Tue, 12 Oct 2004, Kelvin Ngo wrote: Hi there, Is it possible to conver documents from Microsoft Word to Lyx?
