So far I'm pleased with how lyx shortens the learning curve for using latex.
However, I have several problems converting the document into either rtf or an
openoffice document ( publisher's demanding .doc instead of latex or pdf).
1. Converting to .rtf :
When I use natbib , numerical option, with sort&compress option, citation format [#ID}, I get an rtf file which does not have any citations in the file.
2. When using the converter to an opendocument:
Everything converts including the bibliography, however, the references are all running together instead of each reference starting a separate line ( e,g:

Are there any workarounds to these problems?
LyX relies upon external programs to do these conversions, and they all
have their quirks. The sad truth, I'm afraid, is that perfectly painless
conversion to rtf and odt isn't possible, and you're always going to
have to do some tweaking by hand.
