I've seen references here to LyxWin. I would like to know if a non-techie Academic using Windows XP (or 2000) could be happy using LyxWin. My wife is working on a book publication and I have wanted to get her out of Word for some time. I can handle the general tech support and installation if the program itself is stable and comfortable enough (as it seems to be running under Linux).
You have the link to the wiki page - this is a well tried and tested install guide which is kept very much up to date.
Are there former Word writers (academic papers, no math or symbols) who have happily made this switch? (Or any pitfalls?)
No pitfalls that I recall - use this list if you stumble into any though.
Last question: Is there an installation document somewhere that explains how to set this up under Windows? If this is in the FAQ, then please point me there and I'll go read further before posting any more questions.
All the best and thank you in advance,
Kevin Pfeiffer
