I'm brand new -- to LyX, LaTeX, and TeX. The whole shebang.
I've attempted to import an RTF document into LyX. Under Preferences/File
Handling/Converters I've set the From: format to RTF and the To: format to
LaTeX (Plain). The converter identified for this translation is rtf2latex2e $$i.
When do /File/Import/Rich Text Format..., I get the following message: An error
occurred whilst running rtf2latex2e
'Avoidable-Losses-VIII-new-stuff.rtf'
Help identifying the problem and solving it will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, and welcome,
We would like to help you, but the information provided is very limited.
It's not really your fault: LyX doesn't show any constructive error
message here, other than `it did not work.'
So we'll need more information. I assume that you have rtf2latex2e
installed and configured on your system. I would suggest that either you
a) Try running rtf2latex2e 'Avoidable-Losses-VIII-new-stuff.rtf' from a
command-line terminal, capture the output, and provide it here in email,
or
b) Send a .rtf this way, and hope that some kind person might be able to
convert it on their machine and post the result here.
Cheers,
Julien
