Hi and welcome,

i opened a new topic for your question as it was unrelated to the other one and is more suited here in the LyX subforum.
Unfortunately i can't help you and we have to wait for a LyX expert.

LyX puts it in a temp folder and deletes them on exit - you have to Save As within the odt program before closing LyX to keep it. Check the location of your temp folder in LyX Tools>Preferences>Paths>Temporary Directory, or watch the lower left corner of the LyX screen while it exports - it shows what it's doing including exactly what folder it puts the file in but that goes by fast though. You can also try View> ODT which will either open the file or show the folder.

Edit: actually, I just tested and can't find it either. I have a pdf and a tex file and a bunch of other files but no odt. I'd suggest reporting it as a bug on the LyX site.

Thanks Valkyrie for quick response,

I have make the changes in Lyx2.0. Firstly install tex4ht then the following process applied....(Ref. bossanova, http://ubuntuforums.org)

Open tools-->preferences-->file formats

Create a new format: odt
GUI name: OpenDocument
Shortcut: whatever
Extension: odt
Viewer: oowriter (although I can't yet get the viewer and editor to work)
Editor: oowriter

Now go to tools-->preferences-->converters

create a new converter from LaTeX (plain) to OpenDocument
Converter: mk4ht oolatex $$i
Extra flag: originaldir,needaux
