I am unable to import template.tex (provided by Springer) into LyX (using plain latex option). The error comes out: cannot convert file.
Next I created a new file from the template for Springer journal provided by LyX, svjour3.lyx. Without editing anything, I exported it to a .tex file (using plain LaTeX option) and tried importing it back again to LyX. The cannot convert error above appears.
Seems like LyX has a problem with Springer's journal class svjour3. It can't even import back a tex file it generated.
Does anyone have a similar experience? How do you produce a document for Springer using LyX?
LyX ⇒ cannot import Springer template file

Re: cannot import Springer template file
Hi ng0323,
I understand that this is a frustrating issue for you. Unless you know the details of what's going on, it's hard to see why LyX can't even import files that it exports. I hope that my explanation at your cross-posted answer helps explain things: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... e-into-lyx
In the future, if you are going to cross-post, please always add to *all* posts links to all of your other posts. Think a bit about why: Several people could try to answer your question when it is already answered. It's unfair to waste the time of people who are trying to help you (I'm not blaming you; I'm assuming you didn't know).
Best of luck with your work!
Scott
