Hi Graham,
I'm using LyX for many (probably at least five or six) years now. Before
I had used plain LaTeX also for years.
I have invested some time and used my experience with LaTeX to design
templates for LyX documents for a few different types of papers I need
for my small one man business as a management consultant. It's
essentially a business letter template and a general template for
general papers like documentation for training give.
And I do not agree with Steve Litt this time to use word for ad hoc
documents. Especially outlining is now a LyX feature since 1.5.?
So I put everything in an 'official' paper and I don't have to bother
about what the document will look like later.
If you are interested in my templates send me a private Email, I can
send you the LyX templates resp. the layout files for the document
classes I have defined for my personal use, and there are also the
respective style files which define my page layout and the titlepage etc.
Cheers
Hellmut

Steve,
Personally, I think for everyday letters, ad-hoc reports, informal
reports,
initial design documents, and general "stuff" that's not too important,
That's worth thinking about.
For formal reports that have to look good, and especially if they have
to look
consistent with former reports, I'd go with LyX over Word.
This is what I am mainly interested in, having experienced how much
better a report looks produced in Lyx is compared to Word, its the
production of technical reports that I can see the biggest advantage.
But I admit, I had been thinking of trying to move everything over to
Lyx, as Rich has now done.
