Run LaTeX to create assignment1.aux .. .. assignment1.tex:219 Cannot open <assignment1.bbl> assignment1.tex:219 Cannot open bibliography file. Create assignment1.bbl using BibTeX It seems latex and bibtex need to be run on the .tex to get bibliography correct before running latex4rtf. eg: latex foo.tex; bibtex foo; latex foo.tex; latex foo.tex; latex2rtf foo.tex > You might need to tweak the commandline flags. do you mean "latex" and perhaps "bibtex"? Using these commands in Converter "latex $$i; bibtex $$i; latex $$i; latex2rtf -o $$o $$i" fell over when bibtex couldn't find assignment1.tex.aux. Bibtex looks needs a input with out the .tex, so this is puzzling on how to do this. suggestions please! > And I am wondering why we > don't serach for latex2rtf by default. so am I! >Please tell if some flags are > needed, we can then add this converter to LyX.
