I follow these steps as well. Luckily, I don't often have to submit articles in Word but it does happen (only once this year out of quite a few papers so editors and/or publishers are slowly learning...). The nightmare scenario, however, is when your document has a lot of mathematics. Many/most of mine do. In this case, step 4 is long and arduous; still better than trying to do mathematics in Word, mind you... In any case, can anybody recommend any tools which can help in mathematics conversion to OOo or Word from LyX/LaTeX? cheers, eric -- Eric S.
