thing that may alleviate the grief can be this:
Scientific workplace can save files in a format called
"portable latex". If your colleagues can save their
files as portable latex, that would possibly help.
Although not without problems, this makes it possible
to build your document in freely available tex
distributions most of the time (probably always ?).
Then, you can import the file better, but still not
without glitches, as LyX converter doen't understand
all of the latex, ams packages, and so on.

Hi,
I'm a newcomer to the Lyx's world. Unfortunately I
have the need to
frequently exchange .tex files with people working
with Scientific
Workplace 4.0. I'm facing some problembs both in
exporting lyx files
to .tex and in importing swp .tex files to Lix.
Could anybody suggest me a general solution to
this problem? Does
exist any working translator from Tcilatex to Lix's
Tex and viceversa?
I collaborated a while back with someone using SWP. Based on that
experience, when SWP exports a file as LaTeX, the .tex file tends to
load a lot of proprietary style files that come with SWP (and not with
any standard distribution of LaTeX that I've heard of). Other than
that, I don't recall any difference between Tcilatex and conventional
LaTeX, although my experience is a bit stale now. So you'll probably
want to ask your coauthor to send you all those style files (if it's not
a license violation -- which it shouldn't be, if they expect users to
distribute exported LaTeX files).
