Converting a Lyx document to MS Word

Converting a Lyx document to MS Word 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.

"Install pandoc and add it to the path in LyX's preference configuration.
Then reconfigure LyX and restart LyX.
After restarting LyX, you will see a new export option like ""export to office XML (Word)"".
For my experience, most math symbols can be easily converted into MS Word formula. Some are not if there is one symbol not recognized.

Good luck, the feature is available at least with LyX 2.3.4."

"So I just tried this
Exported from lyx to html(doc)
then open the exported file in Libreoffice writer, voila it works almost perfectly

I understand this answer is 8 years late in coming, but was just questing for it my self and hope it helps others who may need to know / want to know"

"Simplest way - sort of two-clicks - working with recent Word versions:

Render your LyX document as PDF (e.g. Ctrl-R)

Open the PDF in Word - yes this is readily possible in modern Word versions (Word 2016)"
