Steve, I like your list of good things about LyX;
but you have omitted what to me is the most significant:
Try using Word to compile a long book with many illustrations, often with 3

Word has a shocking reputation for using a master document with many child

priority) and, perhap

One possible approach is to write an introduction to Lyx specifically aimed
at Word users.

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

There is something that might help: wouldn't it be possible to add a

It'd be an easy way to communicate that a nice document -that gets you
looking into its properties- was made with LyX.
