Re: How to export to RTF (Lyx 1.5.1, Mac OS X)
Many thanks for your help Oisin! Fortunately, my problem is solved. Bennett gave me this advice: Try quitting LyX and then moving LyX's user's directory out of the way (~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5) -- just drag it to your desktop or rename it. Then restart LyX to see if that helps. (It will regenerate the user's directory and reconfigure itself automatically.) And it works perfectly now! Anyway, many thanks for your precious answers ;-) Isaac Pante Le 21 août 07 à 01:25, Oisin Feeley a écrit : On 8/20/07, Isaac Pante [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm asking myself if I shouldn't uninstall my MacTex installation and reinstall everything (any other solution is welcome).

How to export to RTF (Lyx 1.5.1, Mac OS X)
Hello, In the version 1.5.1, the export menu requests a command to be done. I have two questions reguarding this: 1) where can I found the command(s) allowing me to export my lyx document in RTF (and for the other formats)? 2) do I have to install special packages in order to let the commands working correctly? If the answer is yes, which packages are requested and where can I find them? Many thanks for your help! Isaac Pante

How to export to RTF (Lyx 1.5.1, Mac OS X)
Hello, In the version 1.5.1, the export menu requests a command to be done. I have two questions reguarding this: 1) where can I found the command(s) allowing me to export my lyx document in RTF (and for the other formats)? 2) do I have to install special packages in order to let the commands working correctly? If the answer is yes, which packages are requested and where can I find them? Many thanks for your help! Isaac Pante

LyX/Mac 1.5 has latex-to-rtf and rtf-to-latex conversions defined by default. Once you have the appropriate software installed (and run LyX > Reconfigure), it should just work. 2) do I have to install special packages in order to let the commands working correctly?

You're right, latex2rtf is installed in /usr/bin/location, a path
contained in my prefix as shown below:
