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 That is a lot of work. I'm not even sure that I would be able to figure out how to do all that. What has worked best for me is to do as you said in step 5 and ensure that all the standard environments are on default settings and do an export to rtf from within LyX. Opening the rtf in Word there are a few formatting concerns, but it is easy enough to correct them quickly and send the file out to my advisor. Thanks for the response, I may try that when I have time to go through the instruction carefully. Bob

All that had to be done was set the table floats to justify and change the references from \prettyref to \ref and \pageref. All of which is easy to do in LyX 1) export - latex(pdflatex) 2) from an xterm: latex2rtf 3) open with OOo, and sort out formatting on tables note: *everything* else is OK, that is bibliography, figure and table cross referencing, graphics (jpeg or eps).

Worked like a charm! All that had to be done was set the table floats to "justify" and change the references from \prettyref to \ref and \pageref. All of which is easy to do in LyX 1) export -> latex(pdflatex) 2) from an xterm: latex2rtf 3) open with OOo, and sort out formatting on tables note: *everything* else is OK, that is bibliography, figure and table cross referencing, graphics (jpeg or eps). This it brilliant! 4) save as .doc 5) open with MSWordview: perfect! too easy! How can this be made to run from with in LyX (Linux) ? - Russell

Then from the command line "htlatex foo.tex" = foo.html which can be directly imported into Word, = foo.doc htlatex is part of the TeX4ht package: http://facweb.arch.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html The Miktex update manager can download and install this if you don't have it. www.miktex.org I use Word2Tex for converting from .doc to .tex and LyX can import .tex files. Rtf conversion may work. Conversions need to be proofread, Stephen
