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

/atm/goose/home/scotto/meetings/doc/thesis/thesis/uwthesisTemplate/lyx/uwthesis.lyx is from a different version of LyX, but the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.
