In that way your document cannot be modified by anybody and it cannot be affected by any macro virus. Anand There are times when there is no choice, for instance when someone wants to add or edit what you have written. In practice in such cases, I used lineno.sty which prints line numbers on each line and allows people to suggest changes by line number. However, there are many times when one would like to be able to produce a word doc for others, but I do realize that word does not have the wealth of formatting that we have in latex so its an impossible dream in all probability. > The lyx team has done a grand job and its nice to be able to say > thank > you > now that we have been reminded not to take it for granted. > > samar > > - Original Message - > From: "Jean-Marc Lasgouttes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Olivier Ripoll" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: > Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:17 PM > Subject: Re: thanks to LyX team > > > > >>>>> "Olivier" == Olivier Ripoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > writes: > > > > Olivier> Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work > they > > Olivier> do.

Re: thanks to LyX team
Hi I would like to join the applause for the lyx team. Although Lyx was not around when I did mine, I use it very extensively for writing proposals and just about everything else. I had years of latex and miktex before my linux days.There is a world of difference when you have to do bibliographies and an index apart from all the other productivity. Coming to latex was a wonderful leap. Taking to Lyx is a whole new world. The only problem is when one has to talk to the rest of the world in .doc The lyx team has done a grand job and its nice to be able to say thank you now that we have been reminded not to take it for granted. samar - Original Message - From: "Jean-Marc Lasgouttes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Olivier Ripoll" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:17 PM Subject: Re: thanks to LyX team > >>>>> "Olivier" == Olivier Ripoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Olivier> Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work they > Olivier> do.

thanks to LyX team
Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work they do. I have written my PhD thesis 2 years ago with LyX, and it never failed on me. Even when X crashed once (in a 6 month period), LyX managed not to loose a single letter of my work. It may seem late to thank the team now, but since I have now an anti-spam email (thanks yahoo) and my thesis have been finally uploaded on the web site of the university, I thought better late than ever ;) The pdf (acrobat-friendly) can be found at: http://www-optics.unine.ch/publications/theses/Thesis_Ripoll.pdf Cheers, Olivier Ripoll. PS: I know at least two other theses written with LyX at the same institute, one of which is also online now: http://www-optics.unine.ch/publications/theses/Thesis_Gonte.pdf
