I don't think so.  What I am looking into is this:  Pacer will only accept pdf 
files. If those who 
export to pdf from within a word document don't have to "flatten" the document 
before 
uploading to Pacer, while those who use lyx are forced to flatten any document 
imported from a 
Word doc before uploading to Pacer, I want to let the Pacer folks know this and 
suggest that 
Pacer not default to Word.  

Word is so dominant that even in Nevada State Courts we are required to convert 
any editable 
document to Word before the judge will even look at it. If there must be a 
standard here, I think 
it should be an open source standard.  Courts should not be in the business of 
requiring 
everyone to use Word (or any other proprietary product).
