Thanks, Stephan. I was discouraged by a guy that helped on the mac support

In any case, I went ahead and compiled. Only problem was locating and

As indicated in an earlier post, I've installed latex2rtf. When I do 'latex2rtf 
filename' I get '(Not set):1   Cannot open filename.' 

What else do I need to do?

 I think so. For a more reliable indicator of what works, check the
 View  View (Other) menu item. But as far as RTF is concerned, the
 better option is File  Export.

 I've installed latex2rtf. On my system, that is. It's not showing up under

Eric,
I haven't used OO for some time, but as I recall the first line of an
XHTML file confuses it. Open the XHTML file with Vim or a read editor
like Emacs (sorry, couln't resist) and delete the first line.

I think you will have better luck with the Lyx - XHTML  OO  Word
