I tried that and yes I did see quite a few ERT. When I try to view it either
as a dvi or pdf there are sections missing in comparison to the dvi file
supplied.
The tex file uses a latex style, spconf.sty, which in turn uses the article
class and the spconf package. Although the linking is clear, I don't
understand even from the documentation how to install this latex document
class.
Is it case of creating a layout file by copying the article.layout
Renaming it to - spconf.layout which contains
Then modifying the following lines:
\DeclareLaTeXClass{article}
To
\DeclareLaTeXClass[article,spconf.sty]{ article(spconf) }
Then add
Preamble
\usepackage{spconf}
EndPreamble
If this is the case and I create this layout file, do I have to put
spconf.sty in the layout directory also? Or do they go in the Resources\tex
folder?
How do i source the package as it is not appearing in my package manager.
Can anyone clarify? Or if willing try and install the template themselves
and see how far they get?
Thanks

1. Try to import the latex template file into LyX (File>Import>...)
2a. If this works well, save it in your templates folder to "install" it
(i.e. be able to open it with File>New from Template) or just save
under a different name and work with the copy.
2b. If there are errors, you might need to install a corresponding
latex class. See Help>Customisation
You can reduce the amount of ERT in the imported template by defining a
special layout file (also described in Help>Customisation) and after
configuring LyX import the latex template again.
