This is just a wild guess on my part: did you insert the \textgreek{'} command
yourself, or (as I am guessing) is that a side-effect of the conversion from
OOffice to LyX? If I remember my Latex correctly, that greek accent is what's
tripping TeX up---it looks for that character and cannot find it.
Try opening up the source window in LyX (View>>View source)---that will show
you the Latex code that LyX generates. Then, delete before and afer the
incriminated accent until the \textgreek command disappears and see if that
solves the problem.
(Alternatively, export to Latex, open the file in an editor, delete the
\textgreek command manually, and reimport into LyX.).
