I'm trying to use lyx 1.5.3 to read a lyx file which was created with an
older version of lyx (the University of Washington lyx thesis template:
http://staff.washington.edu/fox/tex/uwthesis_lyx.zip). When I open the
file, this triggers a lyx bug, either in lyx or within our install of
lyx (error message below the dotted line).
Could someone suggest a workaround?
Thanks,
Scott
