I just tried export to OpenDocument format with the new LyX and have some advice that may help. Run LyX from a terminal window. That way, you can watch the error messages. emitted by the programs that do the translation.
For me, the first export to ODT frailed--tex4ht crashed because it could not find a font. WHen I went to LyX document->settings and changed the default font, then the export to ODT did work. If you just run lyx from a menu, you don't see the error messages. If you run it from a terminal, you see stuff like this: ---------------------------------------------------- --- error --- Can't find/open file `ecbx1000.tfm' ---------------------------- t4ht.c (2006-09-13-14:28 kpathsea) t4ht -f/descriptions.tex -coo (/usr/share/texmf/tex4ht/base/unix/tex4ht.env) Entering descriptions.lg Error: Cannot view file ---------------------------------------- File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir9646cneuJa/lyx_tmpbuf0/descriptions.odt Apparently I lack whatever package has the ecbx fonts, so it dies. But If I change the font to TimesRoman, then it does work. But you don't see these errors unless you run LyX from a Terminal. -- Paul E.
