Thanks, Eberhard. That sounds preferable to learning about compiling rft2latex2e. I have OO/NO and I'm sure the writer2latex extension is readily available. The problem for me would be the "manipulate a little" part. I am literally brand new to the TeX/LaTeX/LyX realm. Importing this relatively short and uncomplicated document was to be my first step in learning. Is it possible that with a short, simply formatted document little or no "manipulating" before importing into LyX would be necessary? If so, hopefully by the time it becomes necessary to deal with bigger more complicated documents I will have learned enough that I'll be able to do whatever manipulating is necessary.
