Without doubt this is not perfect. As I said, I can't comment on equations and I did not worry about the captions. Have you tried LyX -> eLyXer -> pandoc as well? > >> pandoc -o newfile.odt newfile1.xhtml > >> results in a similar result, but with completely nonfunctional cross >> references and no >> spurious text relating to the figure image. > >> I'm using OS X, LyX 2.0.5, Word 2011, LibreOffice 4.0.0.1, and pandoc >> 1.9.4.2. For my case (no crossreferences, no inseted references, but formating in the text (italic for species names) and only some pictures which I deleted anyway to reduce the size of the docx as I had to email it for further revisions it worked better and faster then any other solution. Have you tried to go ia LaTeX and pandoc? I guess some manual fidelling will always be necessary, and for my document the fidelling required after pandoc was considerably less as after any other approach.
