I know that it is a waste :-( but you have to put the absolute path. The
problem happens because lyx moves the file to a temporary directory to create
the pdf (or any other format) and so the relative path becomes invalid.

One page just has the section headers going down all the way to bottom of page (even the page numbers on bottom are gone). The next page is many (like 100) sections later.

Can you View -> DVI the document successfully in LyX? If you run LaTeX
against the exported .tex file, do you get a valid DVI?
The only other thing I can think of is maybe an encoding issue. I'm
pretty sure the exported .tex file will be UTF-8. I don't know what SWP
can/cannot ingest. Does paragraph 13 contain an funky characters? You
might try running iconv against the .tex file. Maybe conversion to
ASCII would fix the problem?
There's a support page about importing external .tex files at
http://www.mackichan.com/index.html?techtalk/660.htm~mainFrame. Doesn't
say anything about encoding (or crashes), though.
FYI, a few years back I worked with a co-author using SWP. The SWP ->
LyX direction was a pain because SWP uses its own LaTeX macros, but we
had no problem the other direction. I just exported a plain LaTeX file
and my co-author imported it effortlessly. This was an earlier version
of LyX (and likely SWP), though.

Can't \includegraphic in preamble or ERT
I have the layout of a Memoir book title page defined in LyX using
LaTeX, because it is too complex to be done with the LyX editor. One
line of it is this:
\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{terminuspress.png}
terminuspress.png is in the same directory as the LyX file, but I've
also tried using a full path to terminuspress.png. In either case, it
comes out on the title page as an empty box - the correct size, so
obviously it is seeing the image at one point - and the full path to
the image printed across it.
It makes no difference whether I have this line in my preamble, or in
ERT in the body of my document, or even - maddeningly - if I break the
ERT and include the graphic in normal LyX mode then resume the ERT.
However if I put the line in ERT in an otherwise *blank* document it
does work...? Also, I do have other graphics in my text that come out
fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I get the empty box?
Also, a completely unrelated question but not worth making a separate
message about, in my table of contents I have long page numbers like
xxxiii that go over the right margin to which all the other page
numbers are justified. Can anyone suggest how to get them to line up?
TIA
BTW: A while ago I added to the LyX Wiki about how to include multiple
indexes in your document. If you are interested it is here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Indexing#toc4

Well, it'd be difficult for us to debug SWP LateX import... What about
convincing your coauthor to use LyX instead :-)

many sections aren't in PDF
Using lyx 1.5.4 and document class: book (KOMA-Script) I have over 200 sections in an outline. No chapters. (I decided not to use chapters for the design of this book.) The generated PDF (and even DVI) is missing a lot of content. One page just has the section headers going down all the way to bottom of page (even the page numbers on bottom are gone). The next page is many (like 100) sections later. Most of the sections are empty. Section header followed by section header (no content added yet -- but it is planned). Anyone else see that?

You have to use the LaTeX-package hyperref in the preamble. To start, copy the hyperref command from the Emglish UserGuide to your document.

Howto ERT that uses external files?
I wanted to play with pdfpages. I tried ERT:
\includepdf[pages=-,angle=90,fitpaper]{Visio-rx_block_diagram_rev4}
But 'view' will fail, because the file is in my cwd, not in /tmp/blah, which
is where pdflatex is run.
Howto workaround this?
LyX Make "dynamic" TOC on LyX using pdf
Hi, I'm a newbie on LyX and also a little bit newbie on LateX, just one question when making pdfs with it: How do you make the Table of Contents dinamic with LyX, with dynamic I just mean that you can click over an item and you will be automagically linked to the corresponding section on the document, and obviously the bar that you get at the left side in Adobe Reader where you have a shortcut to every chapter or section of your document I think that should be easy to solve but since I don't know very well how is this kind of TOC is called, I've not been able to find it on the docs provided by LyX or in the wiki.
