Yes, I am using IEEEtran for a paper we are writing parallel to the thesis and that has even more problems. Thing like theorem will export fine, but will not import. I have to switch the document to amsart and once inside lyx, switch back. I don't mind if things look silly in Lyx as long as the final postscript looks the same, but in this case the look very differently, and the lyx version is just wrong. > > > I got this problem when working on an article together with a colleague that > uses plain latex.

I send him the latex file I get from exporting and he makes the changes on that file which he sends back to me. Then I use that file to work with and I don't want to chase all the changes he has made. > > > - resort to raw latex (at least for this work) > Still it could be sensible to use LyX for the first draft (especially > with lots of math, you see far better what is on) and only convert to > latex when it is "ready to be shown upstairs". I am afraid this is the only solution I am facing now. But I love lyx and hate to have to give it up for some small bug like this. > > > - convince your boss of LyX.' Belive me I tried. He says he uses four different document processors and will not learn a new one. When I learned about lyx, I tried to get him to use it. He liked it, but since there is no mac version, he can't use it. Otherwise I am sure he would toss the other editors in favor of lyx. > > > Guenter > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Guenter, -Mario
