Type C-S-m to enter displayed math mode and C-Return to "widen" that to an
eqnarray. The process is covered in some detail in the UserGuide.
In 1.2.0cvs you can select insert->math->equation array.

question
Hi, I have been using Lyx to write a long document (my CS PhD thesis) for some time now and really love it. Thanks much to all who worked on Lyx's development. I'm using Lyx 1.1.6fix3 on RedHat Linux 7.1. I have a few questions/problems. In my document, I have a point at which the tables start spontaneously numbering by 2 instead of one (i.e. table 12, table 14, table 16). Up to that point, they were numbering by increments of one. I have tried deleting the table floats and reinserting them and that didn't help. If I change the document format to "book" from article and change all the sections to chapters, it numbers the tables by chapter but it still skips (in this case from 5.2 to 5.4 (formerly 12 and 14)). (However the former 16 is now 6.1 and is OK). Does anyone know why this could be happening? There is no table intervening between the two that could be causing the skip. Also, is there any way to get page numbers to appear centered in the bottom middle of the page? And to get it to skip page numbering on blank pages (skip both assigning a number and printing it, when in book format?) And I notice that long chapter titles, when printed at the top of the page, tend to run into the page number if if is also printed at the top, creating an ugly effect. This occurs in chapter 4 of the User's Guide for Lyx, e.g. on page 70 of the version I have. Is there any thing to do about this, other than shortening the chapter titles? Thanks, Matt Zeidenberg University of Wisconsin
footnotes in revtex4/aps (bibtex citations)
I'm trying to modify the revtex4 / aps stylesheets for my bibliography
format (I'm using bibtex). I want every /cite to make a footnote that
dispalys the author and the date.
I edited aps.rtx so I have:
\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{}{,}
and now the normal /cite command produces (inline):
Author (year)
Great, but I want to put that in a footnote. When I to Insert, Footnote
and create any footnote (not necessarily a citation). I get (number) for
my citations instead of what I had before of Author (year). The number of
the footnote is after the last citation number, and the footnote appears
as an endnote. If I don't have any footnotes, I get what I had before.
Is there a simple way to using something that looks like revtex4/aps
(general journal formatting) but the /cite{author} commend will make a
footnote with Author and Year at the bottom of the page and a bibliography
at the end of the document with all the reference information?
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for your hint to winzip, but I do not use shareware for (de-)compressing data as long as there is freeware available for this purpose. PowerArchiver 6.10 is rather good performing freeware.

Thanks for this. I re-downloaded the file, but it still does not work on my machine. tar -xvzf now yields: gzip: invalid compressed datacrc error gzip: invalid compressed datalength error tar etc. as above. > otherwise let me know, than I'll send it by mail, if you > are able to get such large attachements. Thanks, again, this is very kind of you, but there is not enough saving capacity available on my mail server. Apart from WWW download taking about 20 minutes by modem. So I would prefer you make the file available in tar.gz or zip format simply. In fact this is the first time I have come across a .tgz file at all. For the sake of cross-platform availability zip files should be used generally. I think this is important first of all to Windows users changing to Linux seeking help to work with LyX. tgz being a unix-linux format in the first place it is second-best choice for providing a Help file anyway. Regards, Juergen.
Index sorting.
Hi,
I've a question more related to latex than to lyx... Is there an easy
way to customize the index sorting? What I need is to have any words
like "_exit" just before "exit" and not in the Symbol group.
I know that I can do something like \index{exit@\_exit} but I would like
to have something more systematic. Does someone know if it is possible?
Thanks!

Problems generating DVI of Lyx Dokuments
Hi, I having trouble generating DVI's of my Lyx Dokuments. I'm currently writing my thesis with lyx. At my university computer I'm using Suse 7.1 with Lyx 1.0.X . Generating a DVI of a 30 pages Dokument with some pictures takes just a couple of seconds. At home I use Suse 7.2 with Lyx 1.1.6fix1 on a comparable machine. A document without pictures is converted to DVI, ok. But once there are pictures in it the conversion takes forever ... I waited 15 minutes without results, for a document that is converted within seconds on my university computer ... The "top" command shows that all processor time is swallowed for the conversion I'm clueless ! Does someone have an idea? I deinstallled/reinstalled lyx ,latex, tetex (from rpm) without result. RPM won't let mew upgrade to a higher lyx Versions though and I get the following error message: Fehler: fehlgeschlagene Paket-Abhängigkeiten: xdvi wird von lyx-1.1.6fix3-1 gebraucht tetex-latex wird von lyx-1.1.6fix3-1 gebraucht /usr/bin/python wird von lyx-1.1.6fix3-1 gebraucht libstdc++.so.2.10 wird von lyx-1.1.6fix3-1 gebraucht libstdc++ wird von lyx-1.1.6fix3-1 gebraucht CU Holger

I am running SuSE Linux 7.2. Either input yields the following error report: gzip: stdin: invalid compressed dataformat violated tar: Kindprozeß gab Status 1 zurück tar: Fehler beim Beenden, verursacht durch vorhergehenden Fehler :-( I just would like to say that this is the first archive ever I am not able to open. I have never had any difficulties working with archives. As all my archivers cannot cope with the LyXTips.tgz there is probably something wrong with the archive I have downloaded last night. Could it be that the problem is due to the fact that I made the download working with Windows? My box has a winmodem only. So I have no access to the internet from my Linux system. I have to download the file with Windows, then copy it to the Linux partition in KDE File Manager to run tar. If this is so I think you should change the compressing format to simple *.zip which can be decompressed with Windows software anyway. After all LyX is available for Windows too. Regards, Juergen.

Use an array (matrix). A better solution is to use the ams environment align or alignat. In lyx 1.1.6 you must enter it using ERT, but lyx 1.2.0 will support these environments.

How to open LyXTips.tgz
Hi, none of my archivers is able to open LyXTips.tgz from Herbert Voss homepage. Neither Power Archiver, nor Karchiveur, nor Ark, nor gunzip, or unzip will do. None of them are able to process *.tgz files. Renaming the file to LyXTips.tar.gz does not change a thing. So could you please explain how to decompress LyXTips.tgz? TIA! Regards, Juergen.

you'll get the same with a \setlength{\itemsep}{-1ex} in tex(red) at the
