[Can OpenOffice export to LaTeX? If so, this would be worth a try, too]
Yes it can using the writer2latex filter.
I've not managed to get this thing up and running. The binary crashes my JVM and the source thingy does not even come with a Makefile.
Same problem:
java -classpath ~/classes/writer2latex.jar writer2latex.Application /home/nalan/Documents/fast/admin/appraisal_robin_2003.sxw
gives
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openoffice/xmerge/util/registry/RegistryException
Now I know almost nothing about Java, but that looks like it's looking for a Java-enabled OpenOffice (OO stubbornly refuses to recognise my Java, bot I'll go into that on a different list!).
You can also use the program on the command line without openoffice. Maybe someone could adapt it as a lyx import filter?
Would be nice...
Definitely, and probably not too difficult to implement, so long as reLyX can handle the TeX it produces. (don't ask me to do it though - I know even less about C++ than Java!). I like OO, and use it a lot for some things (mainly the spreadsheet and, of course, dealing with all those bloody Word docs people send me) but I'd still rather use LyX, given the choice.
