Hi _johnny7, In theory this should be possible. When copying, LibreOffice writer appears to save two MIME types, plain text (which does not preserve the italics), and HTML (which should). LyX can import HTML, so in theory you might be able to go to Edit > Paste Special > Paste from HTML. However, I just tested this and it didn't work for me. And unfortunately I don't have time to look into why it didn't work, but I still write this email just in case anyone else wants to dig :) Note that "Paste from HTML" does not show up in the menu in some cases. In my opinion this should be greyed out instead of invisible. It might work more smoothly if you are willing to export to a .html file and then import that from LyX. That's not as convenient as using your system clipboard, but it might work better. Scott
