If not, we cannot do much.
It was things like Greek letters and math symbols from OOo, such as less-than-or-equal, approx-equal etc., which displayed perfectly in LyX and even seemed to save correctly. Things I could easily enough change but it required a linear manual search through the document to find them and keep trying till it worked. If the paste routine could spot such things and map them to the LyX/LaTeX style math insert it would be very cool indeed. Have fun, Darren
