I believe I may have stumbled upon the solution. I used to have my desktop shortcut for LyX using the target C:\LyxFiles\lyx\bin\lyx.exe -userdir C:\lyxuserdir
so I figured I would just use the same userdir for the LyX 1.4.X version. Apparently this was a bad idea and resulted in the messed up punctuation. I removed the userdir and copied my .layouts over to the new 1.4 directory and everything seems to be OK now. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding?
