Hello everybody, I am sorry for asking such a trivial question so bear with me :-) In essence, I would like to know why there are not two buttons, in the Lyx interface, to underline or bold a text.
Don't get me wrong. I know you can perform these two options easily with Lyx :-) Actually, there are really plenty of ways to do so. For instance, my "preferite" way (because it is fast) is to press ctr+b (to bold) and ctr+u (to underline). However, in my opinion, it is a bit "strange" to have a button in the Lyx's interface which allows to emphasize a text I am referring to the one with the big E on it (its shortcut is ctr+e). On the other hand, there are not the two buttons needed to bold or underline. I suppose there is a reason for it? Sometimes, when I try to teach Lyx to new-users the first question they asked me is: "where are those 2 buttons". These two buttons, for example, are available in softwares such as TexMaker or WinEdit. Most of all, I suppose, it occurs because most users are used to work with text editors such as Word or OpenOffice Writer :-) Best regards, Silvio
