Perhaps he can use Adobe Acrobat (which costs some money) to change your PDF? > But Lyx (Qt for Windows) is still not there that I can recommend it to a > typical Windows-User.

Ouch :( I think most LyX users have made ugly experiences with other word processors (like ms word) and are now very glad to have a deterministic software that produces excellent output. IMHO it is worth to invest some days of training to get used to the word processor of your life :) This is also a good training in structural/logical thinking for physicians, biologists, pedagogues etc. ;-) Cheers!
