When I ran spell check (via the gui button), I got the following message: "The spellchecker could not be started LyX: Failed to start ispell!" If I then choose Lyx->Reconfigure I can run spell check successfully. However, if I restart lyx, I have the same problem again. It seems that the reconfigure magic isn't sticking. >> 4.

I can only copy/past within a single Lyx doc. Note that I can copy from an external app and paste into a Lyx doc, but I cannot copy from a Lyx doc and paste anywhere except in that same Lyx doc. I have tried pasting into MS Word, a terminal, my mail client, other Lyx docs, etc. > > Thanks. > > Bennett
