 There are other routes you can try, e.g., exporting to HTML and importing 
 that into OOo. If you use the LyXHTML export with MathML, that may preserve 
 your formluae. I don't know. Yet another option is to export to RTF, using

I've tried exporting to html (by several methods), then importing the html

limited (it doesn't recognize all latex packages, and you often have to
manually tweak the latex file you give it), but the support staff is

have lots of equations.  (You do also need to have MathType, which means

natbib support.  Also, tables are far from perfect -- I've gone to the
trouble of converting tables via html, and the rest of a manuscript via
tex2wordsigh.

 Hi,

 I have a problem with the OpenDocument support. I need to export my 
 document, with a heavy use of formulasm tables and images, to word. Because 
 there is no direct export function to word, I thought I can export that file 
 to OpenDocument, open it with OpenOffice and save it as a word document. But 
 the export function just produces a corrupt ODF file.
 Does anyone have a good suggestion, besides write my text in Word?

 Thanks a lot for your help.

Re: Lyx compile corrupt OpenDocument documents

I think that my memory is failing me at least for the second point, I
have started my NeoOffice and it does not seem to be able to import
Latex files, strange... I was probably confused between this and the
conversion in the other direction (Writer2Latex extension does it) I
am quite sure about my tests for the first point...

2011/9/16 Murat Yildizoglu myi...@gmail.com:
 If I remember well, I had some success with oolatex by exporting the
 file latex and than executing in a terminal :

 mk4ht oolatex myfile.tex

 There is also a plugin for OpenOffice that can import latex if I
 remember correctly (I do not use OOffice very frequently).

 Welcome to hell!!! Sorry Dominik, but this is one feature LyX really
 lacks. Check the wiki:

 http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/ImportExport#word

 And this thread:
 http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19t=8779

 Short story, export the text only and do everything else (formulas,
 plots, margins, even citations/bibliography) directly in
 Word/OpenOffice.

The oolatex converter doesn't do a very good job with complex documents. 
There are other routes you can try, e.g., exporting to HTML and 
importing that into OOo. If you use the LyXHTML export with MathML, that 
may preserve your formluae. I don't know. Yet another option is to 
export to RTF, using the latex2rtf converter, but that probably won't do 
much with formulae.
