Hello, I hate to re-open this subject, but I've still NEVER been able to convert a "Hello world" doc to RTF, OOo, Word Doc or whatever, and I use LyX since 1.5.0 version (now 1.6.2). So this message is just for those who till yesterday never could export and then found the light with some tweak. I read a thousand ways to do it and tried some, reinstalled converters, tweaked, manually did it etc. NOTHING. So, for a matter of time, I will not rely on old posts if they're not proven to be working at least by the users they tried to help, to whom this message is addressed. >From what I understood, the problem is not OS-related (I use winXP anyway) and relates to a bunch of people who report almost the same. in my case, if using the "export > oo" menu command: - the conversion take quite a long time (for an article with "hello world"), more or less same time of compiling one of my quite complex 150 pages doc (with 3 LaTeX runs). - the result is a .odt with a kb size proportional to the (converted) content - (opened with OOo 3) the content is not shown and the only difference with a a blank doc seems to be that right margin is zero.
(If this can help, I also have never been able to fully compile with LaTeX a .tex file with bibtex bibliography, because LaTeX/BibTeX can't locate any .bib file wherever I put them, so both could be problems of paths or similar - this seems also to be an old users problem) I could stand (of course) a manual way, if it is reported to work with problematic users like me ;) Thanks, and sorry if RE-RE-RE-RE-POST Piero
