If I export an OOo document using writer2latex.oxt, it outputs a tex file which has all the necessary tex/latex commands to compile directly. However, I'd like to then import that document into LyX. My issue is that I seem to need to create a layout that uses everthing between the \documentclass and \begindocument in the tex file? I've tried reading notes on the wiki and searching this list but I have not understood what I need to do. For instance, if I have a very simple document (just a line of text), writer2latex.oxt produces the following, but I can't just import this into LyX. If someone can point me at the correct tutorial on how to 'split out' this document so that it can be used with LyX, I'd be very grateful. Note: My actual document has \usepackage, \newcommand, etc but I'm assuming the process for something simple like the following would apply for a more complicated document as well.
