Lyx for windows https://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows 1- Installing TeXLive for Windows over Internet https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html use Custom install and follow the proposal below the Texlive 2018 figure Click install texlive 2- Download Current stable version 2.3.0 using standard installer LyX-230-Installer-005.exe (58 MB) Open lyx and load the Photobiology-4th-Edition.lyx file which I will send you. * I would recommend using Git / GitHub to both of you if you are going to work on one document. GitHub gives free private repos to researchers for non-profit work. * For Windows, Microsoft did major updates to Windows and some versions of Windows cause issues. There are workarounds tough. * I would recommend to consider MikTex as an alternative to TeXLive. * I would recommend to install both MikTex and LyX for all users. Also I would recommend MikTeX to install packages on the fly without asking. * I would recommend to install imagemagick with convert tool and define a converter from PDF to PNG with convert -density 200 -trim -quality 100 -sharpen 0x1.0 $$i $$o * I suggest to use Sumatra PDF for PDF viewer and PDF XChange for PDF markup, edit and cropping. * Dictionary files downloaded from the LyX installer may be corrupted. Hunspell dictionary files can be downloaded and place in the resources/dict folder manually. * May need to edit the LyX file occasionally. I suggest to use Notepad++ for that purpose. -- ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ Please bottom-post. Start your reply here:
