Is there a tool or script which converts word documents to lyx. This python script works nicely but is not able to preserve the formatting styles of the text. Is there a way to solve this?
Note : I am not interested in the indirect option i.e converting to latex and then lyx, After studying the above script ,I understand that the model of lyx is much more closer to word which led the author to suggest an interesting tool from this script which I find promising.
pandoc
approach.Word - RTF - (pandoc) - LaTeX - LyX
. Note that each and every conversion step introduces the possibility of error. You may find that, as niche as LaTeX is, LyX is even more so. There simply isn't a wide enough audience to warrant the time investment to create complementary tools. (But you may have luck withLyX - ODT - Word
which is supported by LyX itself.)
