I have LyX 2.0.3 on my MacBookPro and need to write a document using the IEEE document style.

At first, I had trouble with not having some of the package dependencies. I was able to fix this by running the tlmgr shell script from. This fixed the dependencies issue and IEEEtrans now shows up as one of the available document types.

However, when I try to open an IEEE document that a colleague has sent me (which he was able to compile into a PDF, which also I have), LyX does not display the full document. Instead, I see a lot of LaTeX code after a certain point in the LyX document. Further, I am not able to compile the LyX document into LaTeX.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be happening? I'd appreciate any help. I'm at my wits' end here.

did your colleague send you a lyx file or a tex file? Can you compile other IEEE documents? If you can, post a minimum working example here (strip down the lyx file to the smallest possible while conserving the error that you get) – Xu Wang Jun 7 '12 at 17:42
He sent me a LaTeX file, which I imported into LyX – inspectorG4dget Jun 7 '12 at 18:09
Without a minimum working example, I don't think it's possible to help you. The problem could either be with LyX's importing the .tex file or with something else. The best would be to edit the .tex file and take out all of the private content and see if it still gives you an error. If you still get an error, then post that stripped down .tex file here – Xu Wang Jun 7 '12 at 20:06
Thank you for your help. I'm at work right now and the file is at home. I will be sure to post an MWE when I get home tonight – inspectorG4dget Jun 7 '12 at 23:46
No MWE => no chance of being able to answer this. – Joseph Wright♦ Aug 11 '12 at 13:57
