Re: [SLUG] Reminder: nominations for 2009 SLUG Elections are open!
Hi Sridhar, Do you know a way of converting a .lnx document, and its Jabref, to Word for Windows and Endnote? What a question! (I hear you say). My supervisor wants me to send him my thesis as a Word .doc. so he can make changes. But I like using Lyx and Jabref. Is there some solution?

This is obviously not meant for the list, but Try oolatex, part of the tex4ht package. You may have to export to LaTeX first, depending on how your LyX is set up. oolatex produces an OpenOffice.writer document which you can then export to a .doc file. I have done this successfully with book length LaTeX documents. oolatex may not be on your execution path. I needed to insert a symbolic link in Debian Lenny.
