Yes, so I have found, my initial searches didn't find any of the more
recent messages, but since then I discovered that there seems to be a
problem.
I have been looking at other approaches export to PDF and then
converting the PDF to Word, but this is a bit a hassle.
I will have a go at running oolatex manually.
If you can get it to work manually, then it should also work from LyX.
Another possibility is Latex2RTF, which you can find on the web. LyX is
also capable of using that, I think.

Bad form to reply to my own message, but I should add that the
status bar suggests that the coversion is happening with the file
apparantly being converted to tex and then oolatex being executed to
create the odt file, its just the converted file doesn't appear
anywhere.
Yes, that is what is supposed to happen. But if you search the
mailing list, you'll see that there are lots of problem with oolatex
on Windows. I don't know what the status of that is. Some people have
had success but it's often been a bit of work. What I'd suggest is
that you try exporting to LaTeX and then running oolatex manually.
That'll at least give you lots of error messages if something is
going wrong.

I have just installed 1.5.2 on WINXPpro and trying to export my lyx
doc as an OpenOffice doc file appears to do nothing.
Some older messages here suggest that with earlier version you
needed to change the export extension to odt (in preferences) but
that is correct in this latest version.
As I am very new to this, I suspect I am just doing something
wrong. The doc I am trying to export is only 20 pages, but with
many figures and cross references.
I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks,
Graham
