Hi John, Thanks for the help. I have installed LyX for the first time on my work computer now (also Vista) and have reproduced the issue. Steps:
- Installed LyX from LyX-2.0.5-Bundle-4.exe (installed for all users in Program Files) - Updated MikTeX - Launch LyX (takes very long time for first start as I experienced before, runs through luatex and latex processes for a while first; 10+ mins?) - Opened tutorial in LyX and scroll to section 3.4.2 - Start new document, left all as default - article class. - By the end of my testing I now have 3 sections with some text in section 2 with two references. One "ref+page" to section 1 and one just "ref" to section 3. They both come out in the pdf output the same (except for the different numbers obviously), i.e. I have a sentence which now reads "*To know more see section 1 or see section 3*." There is no mention of page in the section 1 reference as there should be. - I have exported the file to LaTeX and the full output appears as follows: %% LyX 2.0.5 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/. %% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} \usepackage{varioref} \begin{document} \section{Section 1\label{sec:Section-1}} sdfsafasf Blah! \section{Section} afsafFEF To know more see section \vref{sec:Section-1} or see section \ref{sec:Section-3}. \section{Section 3\label{sec:Section-3}} \end{document} So the only difference between the two types of reference is the "v" in the "ref+page" one. Is this correct? In the LyX view it appears as "Ref+Text: sec:Section-1" compared to the normal ref one which appears as " Ref: sec:Section-3". Anyway, it is not such a big deal, it is easy to work around by just putting in separate page references. I just thought I would report what I have found in case it helps to find a bug. Thanks for the recommendation on document class and tweaks. I need to spend some more time with the documentation and wiki to understand further LyX details such as the differences between the different sub-document classes. I have only gone through the tutorial so far. I will have to prepare drafts in Word anyway for my supervisors (2) sake so they can track changes and then compile later on in LyX so I've got time yet to learn it properly.
