I think my personal preference would be to run Lyx or even just rtf2latex2e
from the terminal, so I could get the better error messages and maybe have a
chance of finding out what is going wrong. Fixing the problems that I'm having
with Lyx seems like a better long-time solution than merely working around
them. (Especially if all that is wrong is that I need to alter a few
configuration files, or reinstall a package or two.)
But someone would need to do a little hand-holding for me, because, this is
entirely out of my area of expertise. (Although, FWIW, I am good at following
directions. I have successfully installed php and mysql and done a number of
other command line tasks, using instructions found online.)
Can someone on Mac help Michelle here?
I guess in lieu of that, I will be hunting down a copy of NeoOffice.
LibreOffice
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
is probably a better choice at this point. Like LyX, it's free. It can
do an excellent job converting Word and RTF type documents to LaTeX.
