Thank you Kevin! (Thank you Richard also, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.) My terminal error for the failed rtf import says "sh: rtf2latex2e: command not found". Which sounds like either a path error or a missing file, is that right? And, catching up with the rest of the list... ... I discover that that the problem is most likely that the needed files aren't there. ...that it is almost certainly that they aren't there . So I have downloaded the package linked to by Mathias! -- Thank you Mathias! ... and asking " which latex2rtf" as BH advised Mathias to do --Thank you BH! now gets me "/usr/local/bin/latex2rtf" But when I run Lyx and ask it to import an rtf file I still get: An error occurred whilst running rtf2latex2e 'DarkMoon.rtf' sh: rtf2latex2e: command not found Error: Cannot convert file Hmm... latex2rtf, and latex2rtf2e... That's not the same. asking the terminal "which latext2rtf2e" gets me nothing. Now what? Do I need to hunt down a different package, or do I need to set Lyx up to use the files I just downloaded?
