I export my documents as PDF (ps2pdf)which is a direct copy of LyX document. It can then be read using a PDF reader, Acrobat is free and actually allows one to add notes to original document.

I have spent last two weekends and most of today looking for a way to do this and am at my wits end on how to do this smoothly. Can anybody suggest a clean, efficient and reliable way to do this? There are problems in graphics, tables, cross-references and bibliography. All of which make LyX a joy and conversion to .doc a pain. I found that all had problems with this, ie: oolatex, htlatex, ConvTex, thh, hevea and the internal LyX html tools. So far the most acceptable and least pain free was to use oolatex, but the .doc still needs to be edited in OOo as doc as cross references were incorrect and bibliography was left out. why oolatex? 1) makes only one file whereas html conversion can make several (latex2html can make only 1 file); 2) made a .sxw which can be edited by OOo which can be later saved to doc and why this one is the choice: 3) the only tool that embeds the graphics within the file whereas html can only link to outside files. oolatex is a script from the tex4ht family which includes htlatex. How I did this: (for Linux) 1) edit LyX file: to remove all "paragraph" ie change to "standard" 2) make graphics as eps or jpeg 3) if eps: correct image sizing though images are a bit blurry, slow response from OOo 4) if jpeg: very small image sizing, clear images and snappy reponse from OOo 5) set formatting of all graphic floats to "justify" 6) save LyX file in tmp directory eg ../tmp as this will make lots of temporary files 7) export LyX file: file -> export -> LaTeX(pdflatex) 8) open xterm and go to ../tmp as made above 9) run latex and bibtex on .tex: eg latex foo.tex; bibtex foo.tex; latex foo.tex; latex foo.tex 10) run oolatex on .tex: eg /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex foo.tex 11) run OOo and open .sxw: ie goto to ../tmp and open foo.sxw 12) check formatting and graphic sizing 13) save as .doc 14) close file, keep OOo running 15) open .doc and check formatting, graphics and referencing 16) may have to open .sxw to copy references to .doc 17) save .doc 18) open again in OOo for final check to see if graphics and references are present 19) final QA check with MSwordview2003 (via wine) 20) it works! celebrate! I took notes on the pros and cons of the other tools and can post them on request. HTH Russell

Exactly what I wrote in my previous message: the program cannot be executed. The same happens if I try to execute lyx.bat -- that's why I was sayng (as a person who knows nothing about Windows) "this looks as a permission error". Really lost!

When I installed LyX143 on AMD athlon xp2600+, it started immediately, without any fuss. But on my laptop (Pentium 3M), it is not starting; it does not even create any preference folders or profile. This can only suggest that those who wrote binaries for windows assumed a certain computer architecture. I am not claiming this to be the reason; it only comes based on what I observed. Mukhtar

As I already said in my previous mail: Only by _not_ using the (native) feature. In your case: Don't use the algorithm float. Instead, write in ERT \begin{algorithm} \end{algorithm} Then you can load all packages manually in the preamble by entering: \usepackage{float} \usepackage{hyperref} \floatstyle{ruled} \newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa} \floatname{algorithm}{Algorithm} See the attached example, where I modified your testcase accordingly. Jürgen P.S.: I know, the long term solution is a better package management in LyX. The developers are aware of that, only nobody volunteered to implement it so far. lyxalgo.lyx Description: application/lyx
