Is there any reason this might not work? (I'm running LyX/Mac 1.4.1 and she's running Windows XP).

Should work, but you should both use the same major LyX Version. I recommend to use LyX 1.5 not 1.4.

I would ask our IT folks to install LyX on her machine. Any thoughts on how I can make this go smoothly for them?

The easiest way is to download the small variant of e.g. this installer and start it with admin priviledges: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php? group_id=5117&release_id=14372 (http://prdownload.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyX-154-3-23- AltInstaller-Small.exe)

The installer has an option to install it without using LaTeX.

Is this _not_ true of most LyX installers? In other words, is it generally the case that a LyX installer or LyX itself will complain and even not allow a LyX document to be opened and typed into when LaTeX is not installed?
