I have no answer to your original question (how to set up latex2rtf in LyX), but want to point out that latex2rtf itself doesn't care whether the document is designed for LaTeX of XeTeX -- I recently converted a XeTeX document with latex2rtf. Successful conversion rather depends on whether the document restricts to the packages supported by latex2rtf. The only caveat is that the current distribution of latex2rtf can convert equations of a document needing XeTeX to rtf (EQ fields) but not to bitmaps or eps, because the script latex2png only tries latex or pdflatex. I already modified the latex2png script so that it now also tries xetex, but this is not yet in the latex2rtf distribution, only in the svn branch on sourceforge. Regards -- Wilfried Hennings

Largely for the font support, but also because I thought it was the superior engine these days. Perhaps that was foolish.
Re: configuring latex2rtf with LyX 2
Or write xtetex2rtf :-)-O Does it really matter, when using LyX, which back end one uses? el on 2013-02-07 09:56 Justin Wood said the following: > Justin Wood murdoch.edu.au> writes: > >> Could the problem be that I'm using XeTeX rather than default LaTeX? > > I think I answered my own question there.

It seems to come down to that issue: no easy route from XeTeX to LaTeX for latex2rtf to work. Kinda obvious I guess! All this so I can give my thesis chapters to supervisors in Word for feedback via track changes. I think it would have been simpler to just install LyX on their machines...
