I looked up your solution and it does not seem to work. I still haven't got a way to make instant preview work in child documents. In fact, even a more basic task fails: Here is what I did: 1.Create macrofile.lyx containing only a macro corresponding to \newcommand{\mymac}{\sum} and another math mode line in which the macro is tested 2.Create mainfile.lyx containing an "input" file inclusion of macrofile.lyx and another line in which the \mymac macro is used. 3.Quit LyX & Restart LyX. 4.open macrofile.lyx. In fact, here, instant preview works! 5.open mainfile.lyx. Here, instant preview fails. Nonetheless, the document does compile correctly to DVI. (both files are "article" document class, and are attached to this mail) I am using LyX 1.4.3 on SuSE Linux 10.1 Did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help, Nils
