Liviu Andronic and Vincent van Ravesteijn refuse to solve the problem and says it's "external tools". Liviu Andronic says "it's problematic". Vincent van Ravesteijn says "it is certainly not a LyX problem".
William Seager uses Gentoo and has no such menu in "view". Tommaso Cucinotta offers to advertise LyX and to send .lyx directly to the recepient. Waluyo Adi Siswanto uses Ubuntu 8.10 and exports to ODT fine. Liviu Andronic uses Linux and exports to ODT fine. I can also use this list as LyX to ODT converter - I can theoretically send a file to you list and get a converted file back ;) SO solutions in my priority arrangement are: 1) I can try installing Ubuntu Linux until my PC crashes or says that it's not possible 2) I can send the files to the list and ask to convert them back until every list member will remember my math calculus knowledge by heart 3) I can export to RTF or HTML until I make the recipient angry about the formula quality 4) I can advertise LyX to the recipient and make him happy with this .odt problem Sounds like that the "view - opendocument" command is really not in its proper place in Windows installation of LyX - it fails to work and should be absent --- On Wed, 2/3/10, 0 <the_herd_of_the_hor...@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: 0 <the_herd_of_the_hor...@yahoo.com> > Subject: help! > To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > Date: Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 1:11 AM > > > > From: 0 <the_herd_of_the_hor...@yahoo.com> > > Subject: "View - OpenDocument" command produces empty > output - help! > > To: lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org, > lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > > Date: Tuesday, February 2, 2010, 7:53 PM > > [examples/splash.lyx] is the document > > which automatically opens when user runs LyX first > time > > after installation.
