I agree. A user who is interested in using LyX is also going to install
LibreOffice (if it's not already installed). Furthermore, we can't expect
student participants to pay hundreds of dollars just to be able to test the
converter.

AFAIK there are many details known about .doc, but this is a dead format,
and any round trip that uses it will be obsolete rather sooner than later.
I agree completely. Let's avoid dead formats and focus on the choice
Word vs. ODF
I would have thought it was in the spirit of the project to focus on ODF.
Word reads and writes it, and anyone who's a Word-user can download and use
Libre Office for free without much loss.
