Good.

Thanks, but the result is not correct. Lyx2lyx reverts to

        \hspace*{1cm+1mm-2mm}

and

        \hspace*{1cm+-1mm}


but the correct LaTeX syntax is

        \hspace*{1cm plus 1mm minus 2mm}

and

        \hspace*{1cm plus 1mm minus 1mm}

Look at the LaTeX output of the original file.
