It's been a while since I've used it, but I thought that EndNote was able to directly export to BibTeX. If not, you can export to EndNote XML and then import using JabRef, BibDesk (Mac OS X), Zotero or Mendeley. Or you can upload to CiteULike and then download a converted BibTeX file to use local

Having realised that the importing of my 500+ references into Lyx would be quite a mission, I decided to write the very large document I am working on in Word 2007, and then when I get to the rough draft stage to import and format in Lyx.

I've noticed that the GnuWin32 project ported wvWare for converting Word documents, and LyX supports it, so I thought I'd give it a try. Here are the results. As expected, doesn't work out of the box because wvCleanLatex that LyX calls is a shell script (a bit useless since GnuWin32 doesn't pro
