Convert lyx to word

[José Luis Cañadas]

Hello everybody.

I just finished my postgraduade final work, and I need convert my lyx document to word (to try publish that in a institution which needs word documents). My lyx documents have a one master lyx document and 5 lyx child documents with chunks of R code.

Any idea?

Thanks

Google for "pandoc". Expect some manual labor to get it right.

That is probably not easy. You can export a LyX document to HTML,
which can be opened in Word, but LyX+knitr produces LaTeX, and it is
much more complicated to convert LaTeX to Word.

I do not, and never can, understand why publishing anything has to
require Word. LaTeX/PDF is so much easier to work with and more
beautiful.

Google "pdf to word" and you might have some luck, e.g. http://www.pdftoword.com

I would rather talk to a publisher that supports LaTeX like Springer,
Chapman & Hall, ... instead of wasting time on the conversion.

Regards,
Yihui

I have found this for ubuntu  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033441

It consists in install tex4ht. In comments I've seen using
latex test.tex
latex test.tex
latex test.tex
htlatex test.tex
and get a html file

In my case.

• convert lyx file (with knitr chunks) to latex using export (luatex).
• install tex4ht in xubuntu via install.packages tex4ht
• Run latex myfle.tex 3 times and htlatex myfile.tex once
• Import myfile.html with libreoffice

The figures  are not imported , equations are imported like a image, and tables (uhmn, regular imports). The output of R chunks is ok, but it needs customization.

Try getting your pdf out of LyX and then open it in Adobe Pro and save it as Word. I have done it and works! I don't know if it will work for formulas though...
