Hi at all, as i subscribed this mailing list some years ago. I'm posting now my first mail, principally for two reasons. As first i'm italian and i don't speek very well english; as second i'm "obliged" to use lyx for my thesis...and i need help! :)
I tried to use lyx some years ago, when i installed it, and now. I have mainly these problems: 1) i selected the book "style", is that correct for my thesis? i'm not sure of what a style involves. Probably is easier to answer to this question seeing the other problems. (I hope...) 2) i'm not able to obtain a common way to see the page numbers; sometimes the page number is on the top-right corner of the page, sometimes on the bottom (the first page of each chapter, and in the index pages). Can i decide where the page number must be printed? 3) i'm writing my thesis with some other people, but i'm not able to put their names on the authour field. i would like something like this: cippo lippo [EMAIL PROTECTED] lappo frappo [EMAIL PROTECTED] .... (on the middle of the screen) but if i put all these lines into the author field i obtain a line that is printed on a single line but it is too long so it is cutted at the end of the screen. But if i create more author fields i see only the last field (in the above example i see only: lappo frappo [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 4) I need the bibliografy!!! :) but i'm not able to do it works. :( As i see i could able to put into my thesis a biblio composed of some books (of which i must say to lyx the path to reach them), but i has not that books! I only knows their names. How can i put into my bibliografy the name of the books that i know, but that i don't own on my hard disk? 5) I not able to obtain a good layout with lyx of the comments to my images. Usually i see the image centered (as i want) but the comments that i obtain with wrapped box area is not just below the image, but it is between the text after the image. So i tried to put an hfill element after the wrapped area, but it does not work.... :( I use the wrapped area so i can put at the end of my thesis a figure list too. Some other people told me to use OpenOffice, but i beleve in lyx! ...am i wrong? If you need everything....my document, some other details, anything, ask! I will answer as soon as possible. Some advices will be appreciated... Thanks in advance.... Alberto
