Currently it has the markup commands in it, but I do not know how to process the file to get the finished typeset output. I think I have both lyx and miktex installed. Run LyX, open the .lyx file, and try View > (something) to see if you get a finished document. The choice of "something" depends on what format you want for the final document. For instance, if you want to end up with the document as a PDF file, I'd try View > PDF (pdflatex). If you get what you want, you can either save a permanent copy from the viewer program that LyX opened (for instance, Acrobat Reader if it's a PDF file), or you can use File > Export > (something) with the same choice of "something" to generate an output file in the same directory where the .lyx file lives. /Paul
