Re: Import docx to lyx
That requires the use of Word.

LyXConverter does a great job: https://www.editorium.com/lyxconverter.htm Full disclosure: I wrote it. :) Best wishes, Jack Lyon On 6/2/2023 6:54 AM, Benedict Holland wrote: I've tried it.

Ben, It's rare for me to need to transfer a Word doc to LaTeX. I'll keep the plug-in in mind should the need arise.

Re: Import docx to lyx
Have you tried Libre Office and the Writer2Latex plug in? And, LyX (or rather LateX) doesn't use (multiple) blank lines. el On 01/06/2023 20:58, Matthias Schmidt wrote: > Hello, > > > > I want to convert a Word docx-document into a Lyx document. > > I have tried several online converters that convert docx to tex.

Re: Import docx to lyx
>From experience, no. It is really not hard to format a docx to latex though. Really, you are only thinking about lines and some special formatting. Tables, images, headers, footers, and more make it very complicated. The formats are diametrically opposite. Docx keeps information on every glif on the page. Latex keeps markup and text separately with packages to fill in blanks like biblatex and tables. If you really need to, I would just do it manually. It's not too much work. I've had to do it a few times on even large documents.
