>>> I hope I am in the correct space. — I have prepared a thesis for a PhD (75K words)and approx 80 figures, the text in Mac-word and the figures are in Adobe Illustrator so I have some flexibility in Format. Also there are many references. I hold all my references and comments on them in Bookends. I regret not looking at lyx/latex and using them much earlier so I am looking for an easy way to migrate this info into Lyx and I am also looking for a Thesis template. I have dowloaded and installed Lyx on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks) and been thro the intro etc. I am trying to minimise the effort in migration to Lyx so any comments and advice is most welcome.

Math equations at least work fine the other way around I.e. LyX to Word if you follow the approach on the lyx wiki
