Hi Virgil,
Congratulations and thank you for providing first-class LyX

Here's the LyX file.
I've never used the Wiki, but I'll try to figure it out and post it there as
well.

Hi, Virgil,
I enjoyed your booklet about LyX. Would you also share the lyx file with
the community? That would be the best way of learning for a beginner.

Hi!
I'm also writing my thesis with Lyx. My biggest problem is .doc template. If I
open it on Libreoffice, OpenOffice or MS Office with different versions I get

For example vertical space before image might change little and lines length

I have written my 300 pages thesis completely in LyX, with many
tables, equations and figures. It is not really a problem if you can
work on one of the standard classes, like Memoir. If you have to adapt
to a particular format/layout it can be a hell at the beginning, but
afterwards it will become

Before answering your questions I should state that I come from a long
background of using latex.
As stated by one of the other replies, if you use a standard style and modify
it using some of the menu options available then Lyx is very easy to use.
However, if you wish to customise the styles

1. Considering LyX over Word, how much time would I approximately need to

Should be quick. I presume you have some basic programming skills.
Well, there is no doubt that math typesetting and float tracking is
considerably more robust in TeX, no need to argue about that. The main
problem I am constantly encountering when I try to convert people in
TeX is the fact that people get easily discouraged by the steep
learning curve. And it
