Hi all, I'm a new user to lyx and totally love it. However, I'm having this peculiar problem with importing tex files to lyx - tables and cross references get totally messed up- when I try to import latex files to lyx, even when the latex file was generated by lyx itself (export->LaTeX). I encountered this problem while trying to work on my tex files in both lyx (in linux) and WinEdt( windows). I'm running lyx 1.3.1 under Linux (Redhat 9).
Has anyone encountered anything like this? I have heard about another tex importing tool - tex2lyx, should I try to install it? any help here would be greatly appreciated. ============================================================== Here's a demo of the problem I'm facing: I create a lyx file (demo_orig.lyx) with a 2X2 table and export it to latex by using the pulldown 'export...latex' menu. Both the original lyx file and the exported tex file are good, they produce perfectly fine output when compiled. If I now try to import the .tex file created by lyx to lyx again,i get a screwed up table and cross reference - the latex file generated when I export this bad import shows the problem clearly demo_orig.tex - result of export of original lyx file: -- from here-- %% LyX 1.3 created this file.
