Well first thanks for all your replies. I appreciate it. I managed to get an extension regarding my report till next week thought with additional reports to write. I did the most obvious solution & thats using pencil, paper & a scanner. I just installed Dia & will try it tomorrow hopefully. It seems user-friendly, but in case do you suggest any guide or help file or is the documentation enough ?
By the way, it seems it doesn't contains any sheets for physics besides "circuit" & "ChemEng". Can you help in this please as I have other labs soon enough in Mechanics & Thermodynamics & Atomic physics? thanks ---------------- Sincerely Yours, BOB Merhebi On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 10:26 PM, Todd Denniston < todd.dennis...@tsb.cranrdte.navy.mil> wrote: > BOB Merhebi wrote, On 01/-10/-28163 02:59 PM: > > Hello, > > > > I am a newbie to LyX.
