If I remember right, you should be able to convert LyX 1.5 format to LyX 1.4
with the lyx2lyx script of LyX 1.5.

I remember that I once could enable an old lyx version to read in "newer"
lyx files by just replacing the lyx2lyx (and supporting) scripts.

Hello,

I am unfortunately converting from Lyx 1.5 (work) to Lyx 1.4 (home)
through TeX files. Anyway, I am having a problem now with the abstract
repeating twice. I'm attaching a LyX file (1.4.3) and a TeX file. How
do I fix that strange behavior?

TIA


Highlight the text of the abstract and use the text style dialog (Edit 
-> Text style or "ab" button) to reset the size.  When you specify the 
size explicitly, LyX emits LaTeX with the text enclosed in braces. 
Apparently the braces give the IEEETran class major heartburn.  Don't 
know why, but I'm sure it's something intrinsic to the way the class 
file is written and thus out of your (or at least my) control.


Tested on LyX 1.4.4 and 1.5.4 (I don't have 1.4.3 anymore).
