I've made several attempts of converting a Lyx document to MS Word , or RTF, and failed. I'm working with a moderately complex document, involving external includes ( Java code, Child documents ), formulas and images.

I've tried

  • exporting to Latex and then using tex4ht but the OpenOffice file is not created ( no context.xml inside the odt );
  • exporting to HTML and importing in OpenOffice Writer;
  • exporting to PDF and importing using Nitro PDF;

I'm now manually converting the Nitro PDF output, but it fares rather badly on formulas and code listings.

What other options are there?

Why do you want to do this? Wouldn't a PDF be better? – Rich Bradshaw Dec 15 '09 at 14:08
It is a requirement from an external publication. – Robert Munteanu Dec 16 '09 at 8:08
Have you found an answer? – maayank Feb 12 '11 at 11:56

Have you tried LyX-> LaTeX -> RTF-> Word?

Here are some additional suggestions, some paid options: http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Compatibility#toc2

Convert to LaTeX then use tex2word. The conversion isn't perfect, but not bad, leaving a little tidying up to do at the end. Other latex -> word converters are listed at http://www.tug.org/utilities/texconv/textopc.html
