You just need to define a Word-html and html-latex converters in the preferences dialog (but you will probably need to install a html-latex converter).

1.1.6-pre3 and wv
Nice to see Word import in 1.1.6-pre3 - I never use Word myself, but people insist on sending me files in .doc format. However, I'm having trouble getting it to work. With wv versions 0.5.26 and 0.5.44, lyx won't detect wv (i.e. after reconfiguring there is still no "Import - Word" option). With version 0.6.2, Import-Word gives me all the LaTeX commands' but the text is just digital garbage. Is there another version of wv I should be using, or is there something else I should have installed? Thanks, Robin
