Thanks, but I can't upgrade to 1.3.6 for some weeks. Tex2Lyx seems to expect 1.3.6 files, so maybe that's why I got errors. This question is really about whether anyone has succeeded in making relyx work under windows. I found that if I created a "null" lyx file, I could take the relyx output and edit the mid section into the lyx file and that would work, but it is a real hassle. Therefore the problem has got to be something to do with the preamble, but I'm not well versed enough to figure it out. Thanks anyway, Brian

Actually tex2lyx works pretty good for most Windows XP users. LyX 1.3.6_1 comes with "Extended Features" as a document which I can open. But I saw an update notification of "extended features" so I downloaded it and it would not open. I am not sure but maybe the update was created with LyX 1.4 and 1.3.6_1 doesn't read it. There is a slight problem reported by some people with directories which contain spaces. So I have tex2lyx.exe and tex2lyx.bat harbored in C:\lyx\lyx\bin and it works good, and there are few complaints about it so it is likely you have overlooked some detail. Did you follow this tip? http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/Tex2LyxInvokedFromLyx This can be done another way, but this well-tested method works.
