Re: lyx compatibility with other w-processors
Useful tool surely. However, you can find writer2latex that convert openoffice to tex : http://www.hj-gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/ Perhaps this tool can be transformed for producing lyx file ?

lyx compatibility with other w-processors
Working at a document with people using word processors other than lyx is currently impossible, since using latex as common format does not work (even importing latex files into lyx is not easy; that is explecially true if those latex files have been produced by kword or opensoffice). I am wondering if it would be worth considering to develop the filters openoffice <--> lyx kword <--> lyx (i have no idea of the difficulties of such work) Such convenient utilities would encourage people to use lyx. -- Pol

Thanks. Forgive my ignorance (and I have tried to look in the docs),
but what's the quickest way to type this? Adding an ERT box and then
typing \oe every time is a bit slow; on the other hand, search and
replace of "oe" once the document is complete is a bit error-prone.
You could add a shortcut to your local .bind-file, e.g.
\bind "M-o" "command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \oe{};
inset-toggle"
\bind "M-S-O" "command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \OE{};
inset-toggle"
[...]

It works by default for latin1 characters, but other input methods will be used if you setup your locale correctly." If the User Guide is wrong, it should be corrected; otherwise, I'd like to know how to set my locale for LyX to use Latin9 (ISO-8859-15) (at the moment my locale is en_GB.UTF8, and LyX seems to use latin1). -- http://rrt.sc3d.org/

Is this easy to fix? The script used to convert files from one lyx file format to another is written in python. Do you have python installed? -- Angus
LyX kills X
Hi, I recently installed LyX 1.3.4 on my DEC PWS 600au running XFce4 as windowmanager. Problem is that LyX kills the X server when I try to open a document in the help section of the menu bar, like the tutorial or the user's guide. Messages I get after the shutdown of X are: ... lyx: SIGHUP signal caught ... The application 'xfce4-panel' lost it's connection to the display:0.0; Most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application ... Does anyone know why this happens? Thanks, Marco -- The Arkansas legislature passed a law that states that the Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock.
