Hello, I have just downloaded mactex and Lyx 1.6.6 to my Mac (OS X 10.5.8).
I started with a LaTeX file and converted it to Lyx. I would like to work with others on editing this file, and then convert it to LaTeX later for the final version. However, when I open the Lyx file and go to File, Export, LaTeX (plain), no corresponding .tex file appears in the directory. (I searched my mac as well using Spotlight.) Am I missing something obvious? I searched the mailing list archive and came across a post suggesting that Preferences, File Handling was important. There is no "converter definition" for Lyx -> LaTeX (plain) there. I (probably quite naively!) chose Lyx as the "From format" and LaTeX (plain) as the "To format", and added it, and tried again, but that did not work. I have some knowledge of LaTeX; I guess I can do View, View Source and just delete the Lyx code from that LaTeX code; is that equivalent? Thank you very much, Eric Freeman
