Linking Lyx text to external file

2009-02-11 Thread Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरो नया] 
Is there some way I could link a Lyx text to an external file (say, in
Jstar or any Linux wordprocessor) so that when I make changes in the
file the Lyx text gets automatically updated? Or am I asking for too
much :-) FN

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do. Can you explain a 
bit more?

Here goes:

I work in Jstar (for wordprocessing).

When my file is relatively ready, I import it into Lyx.

Suppose I make a few more changes in the Wordstar file, is it possible
to have those (editorial) changes automatically reflected in the
corresponding Lyx file?

If you mean a few words, you could do an include from a plain text document.

Not in any straightforward way, no. I can think of complicated ways 
(re-import, diff and patch), but they'd still be fragile.
