Re: lyx to OO conversion tool?
From: Andre Berger [EMAIL PROTECTED] For an easy conversion, put these into your LyX preferences file: \converter latex sxw oolatex $$i latex \format sxw sxw OpenOffice \viewer sxw open The viewer may need to be something other than open, depending on your environment. mike \converter and \format seem to work like a charm... however, I see no point in setting ooosxw as a \viewer. It's like setting a viewer for `LaTeX': the natural viewer for LyX is xdvi (or yap, or whatever). Thanks for the suggestion. Luis.

lyx to OO conversion tool?
Can someone please point me to a tool that will convert a LyX document to a soffice document, no matter how rough the tool is? I guess I'll look at http://freshmeat.net/projects/lyx2html/ and try importing the HTML into soffice. hmm, the lyx2html binary, although it successfulyl converted the document that came with it in its test suite, segfaults on a short document generated by a recent LyX. -- David L Nicol this document can be opened in any word processor, including LyX

Hello,
I tried it, and it worked for me... sort of.
There is an explicit batch file called `oolatex' in the tex4ht distribution. It
is basically a shortcut for `htlatex filename xhtml,ooffice -coo'. It
does a pretty good job on most documents, though you may have to fiddle a little
with the tex4ht.env file, since there are two variations of the `oo' section of
the script. Some work in some systems, some do work in others. There are
instructions in the tex4ht.env file itself.
So, first, export your LyX file into LaTeX. Then install a recent tex4ht
system, and run `oolatex yourfile'.
CAVEAT: some stuff in the LaTeX preamble makes oolatex stumble. You may have to
edit the LaTeX file a little to ensure oolatex will digest it. Moreover, I
found the oolatex script faulty in processing the {array} environment. I think
this is a serious bug, and I'm finding out if it has been fixed. But if you
don't use this environment a lot, or simply ignore the error messages (typing `r
'every time TeX complains about it), it may be safe to say that the script
should work.
Good luck and happy LyX/OOOfing!
Luis.
