Jean-Marc:
I deposited an example to
http://www.semverteilung.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/temp/short.zip
It contains
1. short.doc: Shortened version of a winword file I obtained from the
publisher
2. short.tex: short.doc exported by OpenOfficeWriter 2.2 to Latex. As
you can see it is rather clean. It woulkd be good however, to have a way
for replacing things that LyX don't understand, like
{\selectlanguage{english} or {\textasciigrave} from *within* lyx, rather
than in an external editor.
3. short.pdf: PDF file generated from the (totally unmodified) short.tex
As you will see, LyX 1.5 can't open it. Lyx 1.4.4 can, but does not
produce Latex output. (View does not work here, on the same Latex system
where short.tex compiled without any problem! Strange.)
Maybe this is a useful real world test case that may be used to tune
tex2lyx.
Needless to say, I can produce a tex file readable by lyx from short.tex
by replacing the preamble and doing various substitutions by hand. (I
actually did so.) But it would be even better if Lyx could deal with
such stuff automatically.
Cheers and thanks

Hello,
It would be interesting indeed to see a minimal file.
