I am encountering a strange problem: I am trying to import a LaTex file but I cannot get lyx to properly import it, because lyx2lyx (which I didn't know was used in this process) fails to convert the .lyx file produced by latex2lyx
Here is what I did: File>Import>Latex(plain) Error message is: [my file] is from a different version of LyX, but the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it. I thought the problem may be with the .tex file so: 1. I tried compiling from the command line--> everything is fine 2. I tried running tex2lyx from the command line --> ran flawlessly with no errors 3. I opened the .lyx file in an editor and the preamble says: LyX file created by tex2lyx 1.6.2 \lyxformat 247 \begin_document \begin_header \textclass book \begin_preamble %&LaTeX Is that where the problem is? I am running Lyx 1.6.2, and the file it produces have \lyxformat 345 4. So I took a brute force approach: I changed the \lyxformat line to read \lyxformat 345. Now the file opens in lyx, but I am a bit uncomfortable with this solution, as I may have messed up other things. So I am stumped. Can anyone help out? Thanks in advance.
