Thanks, Uwe. I will go back to TFM as I'm not quite sure what I need to do here. I suppose that I do not understand the difference between tex and latex. Wikipedia says that tex is a typesetting system and that latex is a markup language for it. So .tex files are actually latex markup, no (like an HTML file is SGML markup, no)? There is a lot of material to cover, is there any one concise resource for getting up to speed quickly? I have gone through the wiki, I will start on the Lyx tutorial now: http://www.lyx.org/~jug/lyx/lyxdoc/Tutorial/ -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
