I am using Ubuntu(Ubuntu 8.10 and LyX 1.6.5) and I can export to OpenDocument easily (from File>Export>OpenDocument) and it creates *,odt. When I open this file using OpenOffice and if I double click the equations created by LyX it will be in OpenOffice equation, all equations can be edited and continued in OpenOffice without any problems.
I can confirm this works out of the box on Ubuntu Karmic. Whether it works on more complicated documents, I don't know. I also note that OO.org has a LaTeX exporter, but regretfully cannot import LaTeX. It's supposed to support DocBook imports, but I haven't tried it.
Best, Ethan (emets...@obj-sys.com)
