As I already said in my previous mail: Only by _not_ using the (native) 
feature.

In your case: Don't use the algorithm float. Instead, write in ERT

\begin{algorithm}
content
\end{algorithm}

Then you can load all packages manually in the preamble by entering:

\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\floatstyle{ruled}
\newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}
\floatname{algorithm}{Algorithm}

See the attached example, where I modified your testcase accordingly.

Hi 
I have the same issue with my supervisor.
I have spent last two weekends and most of today looking for a way to do this 
and am at my wits end on how to do this smoothly.

Can anybody suggest a clean, efficient and reliable way to do this? 

There are problems in graphics, tables, cross-references and bibliography. All 
of which make LyX a joy and conversion to .doc a pain.  I found that all had 
problems with this, ie: oolatex, htlatex, ConvTex, thh, hevea and the internal 
LyX html tools.

So far the most acceptable and least pain free was to use oolatex, but the .doc 
still needs to be edited in OOo as doc as cross references were incorrect and 
bibliography was left out.

why oolatex? 
1) makes only one file whereas html conversion can make several  (latex2html 
can make only 1 file);
2) made a .sxw which can be edited by OOo which can be later saved to doc 
and why this one is the choice:
3) the only tool that embeds the graphics within the file whereas html can only 
link to outside files.

oolatex is a script from the tex4ht family which includes htlatex.

How I did this: (for Linux)
1) edit LyX file: to remove all paragraph ie change to standard
2) make graphics as eps or jpeg
3) if eps: correct image sizing though images are a bit blurry, slow response 
from OOo
4) if jpeg: very small image sizing, clear images and snappy reponse from OOo
5) set formatting of all graphic floats to justify
6) save LyX file in tmp directory eg ../tmp as this will make lots of temporary 
files
7) export LyX file: file - export - LaTeX(pdflatex)
8) open xterm and go to ../tmp as made above
9) run latex and bibtex on .tex: eg latex foo.tex; bibtex foo.tex; latex 
foo.tex; latex foo.tex
10) run oolatex on .tex: eg /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex foo.tex
11) run OOo and open .sxw: ie goto to ../tmp and open foo.sxw
12) check formatting and graphic sizing
13) save as .doc
14) close file, keep OOo running
15) open .doc and check formatting, graphics and referencing
16) may have to open .sxw to copy references to .doc
17) save .doc
18) open again in OOo for final check to see if graphics and references are 
present
19) final QA check with MSwordview2003 (via wine) 
20) it works! celebrate!

I export my documents as PDF (ps2pdf)which is a direct copy of LyX

foo.aux, foo.idv", but no foo.html file anywhere. The TeX4ht package  
was already installed by MikTeX.


What I'm really trying to do is get a good output from LyX into Word  
(Since my advisors want a Word document to read for my thesis) with  
pictures and most formatting complete. Any suggestions would be  
greatly appreciated. Thanks.


I apologise in advance for a completely different tack, but it is the OS 
X in me.


I export my documents as PDF (ps2pdf)which is a direct copy of LyX 
document. It can then be read using a PDF reader, Acrobat is free and 
actually allows one to add notes to original document.


Cheers!
