I had styles for everything -- almost no appearance was fine tuned.
You would, wouldn't you! :-D
So heres what my plan, unless someone else has a better idea. First, I'll export to RTF.
Now the rtf file will have lines that are somewhat recognizeable as markup.
Would exporting to HTML+CSS help, assuming that the styles go into the CSS-file? (I'm thinking that the markup is easier in HTML compared to RTF)
Or maybe to some other format that's easier to work with... XML? Converting to OOXML? Or ODF? <snipped complicated looking plan>
If anyone has a better idea for converting a 300 page MS Word document to LyX, style for style and word for word, please let me know.
Some thoughts/deas... * Check many different styles there are in the book * Check how many things you still will have to do manually (tables, images, etc) * Do a test case on a small subset of the book before you commit to your plan * Hire someone else to do the tedious work! cheers, Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
