Thx for answering!
It seems like you must be using the wrong document class. The
\conferenceinfo command isn't standard LaTeX but will be defined by
some
document class. Probably this setting got changed. So what do you have
under Doucument>Settings>Document Class?
Looking at the raw Latex file, I have:
\typeout{Document Class 'sig-alternate' <7th. June '07>. Modified by G.K.M.
Tobin/Gerry Murray}
So, it looks like I am using the sig-alternate class.
Yet, when I go to Document > Settings > Document Class, I see "article". If I click on the drop down list, I don't see any sig-alternate document class. Yet, I have files called sig-alternate.cls and sig-alternat.layout in the same directory as my .lyx file.
What should I do?
Yes, you're probably supposed to be using sig-alternate. Now BACKUP THE
LYX FILE in case anything goes badly wrong. OK. Open the LyX file in a
standard text editor. Near the top, you will see a line like this:
\textclass article
Change it to:
\textclass sig-alternate
Save and try to open the file with LyX. This should work.
It is possible to use "local layout files" with LyX---that's why
sig-alternate.layout is where it is---but at present it's not possible
to select such a file in the GUI. The local file stuff makes it possible
for someone to create a layout file, then send it to you with a LyX
file, and you don't have to put it into your personal LyX configuration
directory, which is where layout files normally go, so they can be used
by any file, rather than just by a single file. I think this is
different in 1.6, but I'm not sure.
