One possible approach is to write an introduction to Lyx specifically aimed at Word users. This has been done for R at http://chartsgraphs.wordpress.com/learnr-toolkit/ where the tutorials assume familiarity with Excel and demonstrate how things differ (or are the same) in R. There have also been

How long should it be? A year ago I had one hour workshop on LyX in my department, and I started with very short into on LaTeX and "in what scene LyX is different from word", and then about 40 minutes of demonstration of what can I do and how can I do that. If there is nothing better, I can transl

There is something that might help: wouldn't it be possible to add a "made with LyX" tag alongside TeX and pdfTeX in the properties of the resulting pdf? It'd be an easy way to communicate that a nice document -that gets you looking into its properties- was made with LyX. M
