I had a few days back this problem: how to give my document to somebody for corrections (anything except .lyx or .tex). The other person did try to install lyx (on Kubuntu) but probably Kubuntu's repositories host a previous version of LyX and we all know that it costs some time to get all things

Thanks for explaining this. Its a damn nuisance I have admit, as I've spend a long time trying to resolve this when I have little time to spare really. I thought I was starting a new thread: I set a new subject line. Is there some other thing I am supposed to do to make that happen?? I'm

MS Word to LyX

LyX is really a great way to write math. Therefore I would like to convert my old MS Word documents -- with a lot of equation in Equation Editor -- to LyX (these are documents I continually revise). Any advise about this? I found two commercial packages for conversion to LaTeX: Grind EQ and

My own problems with using Lyx for a committee-composed documents are much more prosaic: 1. It is difficult to tell which is newly inserted text vs deleted text-- it is all blue on my screen 2. There is no tracking of who changed what, as is nicely done in MS WORD 3. There are no
