It doesn't like \par outside {}, and it doesn't understand the IPlist macro that comes with tr2latex. Removing the \par and changing IPlist to \list{enumerate} seems to work. IPlist is a custom macro for tr2latex. If reLyX doesn't understand a macro, does it look at the macro source and translate that code in place of the unkown macro? It doesn't seem to understand the \rm to turn off the bolding. I see \rm in the reLyX/syntax.default file though. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
