Hi— As you probably can tell by now, I’m running into trouble teaching myself how to use LyX from your document “The LyX Tutorial”.
I just tried out the suggestions in section 2.1.1: 2.1.1 Typing, Viewing, and Exporting Open a new file with File◃New Type a sentence like: This is my first LYX document! Save your document with File ◃ Save As. Create a PDF file, with View◃View or the toolbar button . LYX will open a PDF-viewer program displaying your document as it will look when printed.3 Export the ready to print document with File ◃ Export to a format you want. Congratulations! You have written your first LYX document. All of the rest is just details. I got through the first three bullet points, but not the fourth. (I’m using Mac OS 9.2.) In your pull-down menu “View” there is no sub-option also called “View”. But there *is* an option called “Toolbars” within which I found an option called “View/Update”. That’s as close as I could come to “View◃View”. View/Update didn’t work. (No viewer was forthcoming.) Please advise. Thanks, Barry Brent
