Re: Problem with the RTF export on Lyx for OSX (need help on installing Latex2rtf or equivalent)
Dear BH Thanks! I have check on my second computer, my macbook, on which I had not already performed the latex2rtf setup and the terminal command did not return anything. So this means that Mac users in general, with MacTeX and Lyx cannot in general use the export to rtf command? Maybe the dmg in the link below should be mirrored in case it is erased? It seems to be the only location for the pkg file.

Dear all I think I have found something. It is a dmg that installs latex2rtf (I think it was missing from my distribution). You will find it here. http://www.tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/2010-April/043664.html I have to experiment on complex files, with bibtex entries and the like, but this seems to work smoothly now. Am I the only one to have experimented such problems? If it is frequent, I'll be glad to contribute to the wiki and point to this workaround. Best MG
Re: Problem with the RTF export on Lyx for OSX (need help on installing Latex2rtf or equivalent)
Thanks for the answer! I did that, but alas to no avail. I have the export to RTF in the "File" menu, but when I try that, even with the standard "splash.lyx" file, I have the error message: "Une erreur s'est produite lors de l'exécution : latex2rtf "splash.tex"." (Something like: An error occurred while processing) I have tried to move the user folder. Didn't change the error message. (The export to opendocument does not work also, but in that case it is different: I have an odt output, but Ooo is not able to open it). I have texlive2010 installed with MacTex. Is there a way to check that latex2rtf is actually installed?

What exactly is the problem? latex2rtf is included in MacTex 2010. Moreover, a latex to rtf file converter preference is already set by default. So it should just work to select (in LyX-1.6) View > Rich Text Format. If that's not true, try quitting LyX, moving aside your user's directory (at ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6) and restarting LyX to see if any preference settings you have made are interfering.
