I see from the descripton on debian's web page that Lyx (which I think is a GUI for LaTex) can inport MS Word. For writing documents, I'm thinking of switching from Lout to LaTex, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to add Lyx. You see, I can look on debian's web pages and in the package descriptions but few package descriptions say something like "this package only does basic stuff, for full capabilities use xxx". How good is Lyx at reading/viewing MS word files, including all formatting and images? Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
