AHOLLEN  LyX (LaTeX) proofs to be a very nice text processor for educational scientists. They do a lot of statistical and qualitative data analysis, wright complex and long documents like theses and books. Compared to programms aiming for office use, LyX is reliable and easy to use. I.e. the integration of BibTex is nicer then EndNote@Word.

There are a hand full pitfalls you have to know how to avoid. If LaTeX refuses the text setting into pdf, there are a few possible reasons for this. Best hints:

- the error messages will highlight the problematic zone(s)

- Use the the "go back" arrows in LyX, until your document is in a workable state.  (Version 1.5.4)

FOOZMAN  In many ways better than LyX 1.3x; however, mine crashes every time I quit. This is not really bad, but it's not good either. However, I suggest that everyone who uses LateX or avoids using LaTeX give this a try. I have completely converted from LaTeX to LyX  (Version 1.4)
