In large documents this makes things easier in the first place. And faster, especially since I laid my hands on an M2 mini :-)-O el, I looked at the various manuals available on the Help menu without seeing detailed instructions for creating a parent and child docs; that's what I originally thought would be best. But, I've not before done this so a pointer to creating and using a parent and children doc. The Wiki doc, Multidoc.pdf, is a FAQ on details but not a tutorial for those of us who need to learn how.

And I can block the chapter in the PDF file and paste it to a text file, but that's not really efficient. Learning how to set up a parent file and each chapter as children would be best. Looking at the User Guide, Additional Features, and Embedded Objects docs I didn't see how to do this.

LyX 2.4.0 Released!
Public release of LyX version 2.4.0 === We are proud to announce the release of the new LyX 2.4 series. After long 6 years of development the 2.4 series has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series. An overview of the new features can be found here: https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX24 As this release ships with new features, we strongly recommend that packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read RELEASE-NOTES in order to get the new dependencies right. You can download LyX 2.4.0 from https://www.lyx.org/Download We hope you will enjoy the result! If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with any version of 2.4.x, then the original file will automatically be backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the backup file will be: ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~ where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of 2.3.x file, this will be 544, but in the case of older files it will be different. The file RELEASE-NOTES also lists some known issues and problems compared to the current stable releases (LyX 2.3.x). As with any major release, this one comes with a lot of new features but also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.4.0, either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome . Please specify if the behavior you are reporting is different from behavior in a previous LyX version. If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

The attachments should make it clear enough. I don't think there's anything else you really need to know. There are some subtleties you can use if you really want, but mostly it's straightforward.
