Has anyone tried to convert latex to OpenDocument format with tex4ht?
And then convert it to Word with OpenOffice or with the "OpenOffice

I think there's hope that in the future people will rather require Open
Doc Format files instead of Word. Then it would be great if Lyx could
export ODF easily. Maybe the planned XML file format will help...?

Why should we go through all this conversion fuss anyway? Microsoft are
the ones who have to comply to the open format. If I want to share my
LyX-documents I just send them as pdf-files, anyone should be able to
open that: Acroreader is free...

That is true. I am trying to convert my lyx file to word right now
since our proofread guy only works with MS Word. I use latex2rtf and
get a document without reference, table and figures.

Above all, latex2rtf does not load any additional LaTeX packages which

This was recently discussed and I thought (hoped) I would never have to do
it and never followed closely. I did search the lyx-users archive back to
early August '06 without luck. (Social Forces requires manuscripts only as
MS Word docs!)
