I am a newbie to Lyx and can't work out how to export a document to Open Office. When I try this on the menu, the program appears to be going through the motions but the output never appears, and no OO file is saved. Am I missing a vital step somewhere? I would be grateful for any suggestions.
I am using Lyx for Windows on an XP platform

Export to Open Office
Hello,
after reading your posting I tried to export a Lyx-file to a RTF-file. Clicking on file > export > Rich Text Format I get the following error message:
Did you get an error message, too?
Then I tried to export in Plain Text. Clicking in file > export > Plain Text gives me a file for my text editor. But all the ä, ü, ö disappeared. Importing this text file in Open Office was no problem.
I am using Lyx 1.4.3 on Mac OSX

Re: Export to Open Office
No, I don't get an error message. Export to Plain text works fine but then I obviously lose all the formatting, so it's not much use to me.
Re: Export to Open Office
The savest way in my opinion is to export as html and import the file in OpenOffice.org.
This way works fine for me even to other text processers like M$ Word.

No or not enough coffee, user halted.
Re: Export to Open Office
Thanks for that suggestion- I did try to export to HTML but that gave exactly the same response - no file and no message. I've decided for my current project Open Office will have to do so I've exported as text and spent more than a little time re-formatting many pages of text. Maybe later I'll come back to Lyx when I have a document to do where I'm not restricted to one font, and specific format.
