I've just reinstalled LyX 1.1.5, after using Lyx 1.1.6 on a few documents, and now when I try to open those documents, I get a box saying "Tabular format < 5 is not supported anymore/ Get an older version of LyX (< 1.1.x) for conversion!" My only option at that point is [Dismiss] at which point LyX exits altogether.
Have I simply lost these documents? There's not much "tabular" material in them, and if I knew what to go after, maybe I could edit the offending stuff out of the .lyx files. Could anyone give advice on a way to salvage them? Would a very old (like how old?) version of LyX really know more about 1.1.6 than 1.1.5 does? That seems bizaare, but I'll try any suggestions. TIA, Jim
