Hi
I also stumbled upon this problem. Here are two workarounds that will at least
get things to compile correctly:
1. After importing add to the latex preamble in lyx (under Document-Setting) the
following :
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}
This is an example for theorem and lemma. You will find the right things to add
in the latex file your are importing so its really just cut and paste
2. Insert text with whatever paragraph style you are missing . Doing this once
for every style is enough. For example, go to the first lemma, delete the latex
code and mark it as a lemma in lyx. All lemmas will now compile correctly.
Hope it helps
Guy
