In your LyX user directory (again, you can find this from Help>About), there is a file textclass.lst. This is the file that tells LyX what classes and packages are installed, etc. In it, you should find a line that looks like this: "article" "article" "article" "false" "" Change "false" to "true", close the file and restart LyX. Can you convert now? If so, then the issue is purely with the configuration routine. Richard
