This works pretty well, except that I have to import colloborator's chapters from word usually (via LibreOffice's LaTeX export). I have also used Word and InDesign for books in the past, but frankly, I never want to do this again. These tools are just not prepared for books. I spent more time with fixing glitches than I need for importing into LyX. And the result looks much better with LyX/LaTeX, anyway (InDesign produces good typography as well, but it is [or was, back then] deficient in terms of hyphenation and things such as automatic running headers).
For papers, I use LyX to write the first version, then export to Word (via ODF/TeX4ht), polish it for submission and use Word/LibreOffice for further revisions. This is the more annoying part. I could use Word from the beginning, but I'm much faster with LyX, also I use BibTeX quite a lot. Jürgen
