I need to convert some of my class notes to (sorry) msword so that a colleague can change, update, etc. All notes are in LyX.
There are basically 2 options: use ConvTex script and use the LyX converter. Neither one works properly. In fact, IMHO, ConvTex makes the best work... however all figures are converted to .eps (a lot of them are .eps, although I am, by now, preferring .png), This is not the problem, but the fact that to use ConvTex we need first export to LaTex, and then use CovTest to create a .sxw (OpenOffice 1.0 == StarOffice), then convert to (sorry) msword. When LyX exports to LaTex, the extensions in all figures file names are removed (and assumed to be .eps in a latex run). Now, ConvTex does not assumes this, and expects the extension (whatever) in the Latex text. When run, ConvTex does not find the figures, and the exported .swx does not includes the pictures. As a (brute force) solution, after exporting a LyX to Latex, I must add .eps in all figure file names in order to ConvTex work. I can't find in the LyX preferences a way to change that. The converter to export to Latex ( LyX -> Latex converter) doesn't show in the list of converters to try to fix this. Any idea? Thanks Jorge (converter to export to OpenOffice messes up considerably the equations in the text. Not good yet)
