LibreOffice to LyX

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

To go into even more detail:

Look on CTAN for letterhead templates, of which they are galore.

Then refine to those that do this in KomaScript and find one that is as
close to your ideas as possible.

This (probably a letter class options file *.LCO, the name of which you
then add to LyX's Settings -> Document Class -> Custom:) you will have
to then adapt or find someone to do it for you.

That is indeed an effort, but it only needs to be done once, and the
results can be awesome :-)-O
