Re: question about overriding Lyx default document class

Hi Steve, I notice that your conversion isn't done by OO itself, but by ConvertDoc. Does ConvertDoc pass through paragraph and character styles? If so, this is VERY useful. Note that I don't even care if it translates the style defs -- I can just make a layout. What I want is a final doc with

Re: question about overriding Lyx default document class

Just a comment here, not a solution. A problem is, as stated, that open office produces very poor latex. It seems that the goal of the designers of the translation module was to make the latex output resemble the formatting of the open office document, rather than making the contents the same.

Re: question about overriding Lyx default document class

Hi Anders, I've had good success first converting to HTML, then running a filter on the HTML, and then importing to LyX. The overall process is described here: http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/14/msword-lyx-import While some formatting is lost, it's mostly the type of formatting that

Re: question about overriding Lyx default document class

Thanks, maybe I'll try this. I have a lot of documents in MS Word that I continually update, and ideally I would like to convert all of those to LyX. So far, though, it has been too cumbersome to be worth the while, so I continue to use MS Word.

question about overriding Lyx default document class

If I export an OOo document using writer2latex.oxt, it outputs a tex file which has all the necessary tex/latex commands to compile directly. However, I'd like to then import that document into LyX. My issue is that I seem to need to create a layout that uses everthing between the \documentclass
