Re: Initials not scaled properly over 3 Lines
Paul, thank you, that does the trick! Actually, step 3 (loading the fix-cm package) is sufficient. Once I add that package, the initials are scaled properly. The DefaultLines counter in the preamble sets the default number of lines for the initial packages, so that I do not have to configure the "lines" option every time. Thank you, Frank
Initials not scaled properly over 3 Lines
Hi,
I am trying to use the Initials package with initials set over three lines. I
have placed "\setcounter{DefaultLines}{3}" in the preamble. In the PDF output,
I see that the initial "E" is indeed vertically spaced across three lines.
However, the letter "E" is only scaled across two lines. In fact, the "E" is
the same size as if DefaultLines was set to 2. Please see my attached test
file. Also, the "loversize=.5" option, if added to the Initials, appears to be
ignored (which I've tried to use to compensate). Since this is my first attempt
at using this package, I assume that this is my fault and not a bug. Could you
enlighten me please? This is with LyX 2.2.3.
Thank you,
Frank

Footnote in box with page-breaks
Dear all, I use LyX 2.1 to write my PhD-thesis. I have a multipage box in my introduction, where I would like to add a footnote, but to no avail. Specifically, while the footnote nr is added, the actual footnote is not shown in the pdf. This behavior is specific for boxes where a page-break is allowed and is not dependent on the actual page-break (i.e., also in small boxes this problem occurs when page-break is enabled). In other boxes, footnotes do work. Do I do something wrong here, or is this a bug? And does anyone know how I can solve it? Thanks a lot in advance, best, Frank

LyX 2.0.7 silent/unattended installation: /S doesn't work
Hi, I'm currently trying to deploy LyX silently within our group. I could find lots of references to the /S switch, which should be standard to NSIS installers. However running the Installer (*not* the Bundle Installer) with this switch leaves me with a broken and unusable installation: * The menu items are not placed in a submenu in the Programs menu * MiKTeX/latex is not recognized and configured in LyX How can one silently install LyX including the detection of MiKTeX/latex (which can be in an arbitrary path)? frank

Re: Large figures with ContinuedFloat
Dear Helge, and others, I use boxfloat to create a box floating environment, which works really good. Now one of my boxes is larger than one page, so I would like it to continue.

Re: count math symbols with statistics
Hi, I am using the lyx 1.6.4 tools - statistics menu item to count the words in my manuscript. The manuscript contains a lot of mathematical symbols which I would like to count as words however. Lyx counts characters, but this is unhelpful for me since I would like to count each individual mathematical operator as a word. For example, I would like a statement such as the following equation, x^y + f, to count as six words (three for the words, three for the symbols x^y, +, and f). Instead, lyx counts that statement as three words. Any help would be appreciated. Fun

Helper function/shortcut
Hi, I'm looking for a way to insert (pre-formatted) text into a LyX document using a keyboard shortcut. For example, I'd like to insert i.e. when pressing a certain key combination. I tried to use the LyX function self-insert with the argument i.e., but with LyX 1.6 I only got the error message: Can not insert shortcut to the list. Is there any way to add pre-formatted text to a LyX document? For example, when inserting i.e. with the shortcut described above, I'd like to set i.e. in an italic style and with a thin space between the two characters. Is this possible with LyX 1.6?

Helper function/shortcut
Hi, I'm looking for a way to insert (pre-formatted) text into a LyX document using a keyboard shortcut. For example, I'd like to insert "i.e." when pressing a certain key combination. I tried to use the LyX function "self-insert" with the argument "i.e.", but with LyX 1.6 I only got the error message: "Can not insert shortcut to the list". Is there any way to add pre-formatted text to a LyX document? For example, when inserting "i.e." with the shortcut described above, I'd like to set "i.e." in an italic style and with a thin space between the two characters. Is this possible with LyX 1.6? Thanks, Frank

Pre-Mature Import Abort (Document Format Failure)?
Hi,
I'm trying to import a SWP portable LaTeX file into LyX1.5.2 (just
downloaded few days ago - web-based installer, WinXP). I keep getting the
same resulting error message (pop-up):
LyX: Document Format Failure
C:\Documents and Settings...\Local Settings\Temp\lyx_tempdirXXX\XXX ended
unexpectedly, which means that it is probably corrupted.
Then the LyX GUI shows a partially imported result. I've tried several
variations to diagnose what might be the problem:
1. First tried importing the .tex file, that contained .wmf files for
\includegraphics (I had installed metafile2eps). The partial import did
display the graphics. But I thought perhaps the conversion/render script
buffer might be overfilled...
2. Then I converted all my graphics to .eps, changed their references to
.eps in the .tex file, then tried again. Same result (same point in
document at which the import was partial). So it wasn't due to .wmf
conversion overflows...
3. I tried snipping out the section of the document around the area where
the import terminated. The subsequent import effort produced a partial
import that proceeded further into the document. I could not discern any
commonality between the two halting points in the raw .tex file.
Some other clues:
A. I did notice that of the several figures imported, only 1 was
treated as a float, with caption. I examined this and compared it to the
other figures not so treated, and could not discern any difference between
their \begin{figure} and \includegraphics directives.
B. Before exiting the LyX session, I went into the Temp folder, and
found what appeared to be a temporary lyx-format file (no extension) - it
contained a tex2lyx conversion of my *entire* .tex file. So perhaps (in my
feeble understanding) the problem lies in the lyx2lyx conversion?
Does anyone have any immediate suggestions? Should this get posted to
bugzilla?
If/when I succeed, I intend to post a how-to for SWP-to-LyX (as of
1.5.2).
Thanks!

Paul A. Rubin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hey Frank, Was the XXX file in the error message your SWP file, the intermediate file you found, or the final .lyx file?

Hi again, Duh, I should have noticed earlier ... the .lyx file saved by the LyX GUI (i.e., into my working directory, not the temporary directory) is *also* a complete end-to-end parse of my .tex file (i.e., has my trailing bibtex invocation, \end_document, etc). I did a diff between this file and the temporary one named XXX in the TEMP directory, and they are somewhat different. Another clue as to where things are going awry?
Re: Pre-Mature Import Abort (Document Format Failure)?
Another obvious thing I should now mention is that, if I Open the saved .lyx file (the one saved earlier by LyX into my working directory) into a new LyX session, then the same LyX:Document Format Failure popup error occurs. So the problem is likely well past the tex2lyx stage?
Re: Pre-Mature Import Abort (Document Format Failure)?
Hi Anyone,
This is really bizarre, but progress nonetheless.
I'm finding that if I merely add the
trim=0.00in 0.00in 0.000in 0.00in,
directive into the \includegraphics[
section, things work out! That is, at/near the point in my .tex file where I
*don't* do this, is where LyX poops out. As I keep moving deeper into my .tex
file and adding this to each {figure}, I'm extending the point at which LyX is
rendering the document within the GUI. Also, each figure so touched will
render with a real numbered caption within the LyX GUI (otherwise not).
Here is a snippet of one of my {figure}s:
\begin{figure}
[ptb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[
trim=0.00in 0.00in 0.000in 0.00in,
natheight=2.792800in,
natwidth=4.535500in,
height=1.2324in,
width=1.9951in
]%
{SingletRecord.eps}%
\caption{Data Record Plot, Showing Detector Digital Counts as a Function of
Pixel Index, for a Group of Pixels Illuminated by a Singlet Spectral Line. }%
\label{fig:SingletRecord}%
\end{center}
\end{figure}
Note that LyX seems happy with either the \label separate from, or embedded
within the \caption argument.
So what does this imply about what is going on, and any remedies (if any) for
LyX bugfixing?
Regards,
Frank
Scientific Word to LyX Conversion
Hi,
This is also addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in order to request
posting this tidbit onto a password-protected Wiki page. I suggest:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows
since Scientific Word/Workplace users are Windows-only.
Thanks!
-
Importing Scientific Word/Scientific Workplace (hereinafter SWP) .tex files
into LyX is relatively straightforward. The particular procedure that works
as of 10 December 2007 is provided below.
Before proceeding, one should consider the issue of included graphics
files. One of the allures of SWP, working under MS Windows, has been the
ready cutting-pasting of Windows metafiles (.wmf, .emf) via the clipboard,
out from some application, as figures into one's document. This, plus
punching out the final PDF, could be done without the aggravation of first
putting figures into EPS (encapsulated postscript) format, as is the
standard handling practice for most other LaTeX setups. With the advent of
LyX 1.5 and the contributed metafile2eps utility, one can continue this
lazy practice, as the combo will auto-render .wmf that are included in the
document, and auto-convert to EPS when time for PDF output.
However, metafile2eps is also great as a standalone utility for converting
.wmf into EPS. If one collaborates with others possessing vanilla LaTeX
setups and/or on linux, one will need to exchange figures in EPS format. So
undertaking such conversions up-front is likely advisable.
STEPS to Convert SW/SWP .tex to LyX .lyx
If not done already, install the *free* MetafileToEPSConverter, per:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/MetafileToEPSConverter
I. In SWP, FileSaveAs Portable LaTeX.
This will employ, for instance, the LaTeX-standard \includegraphics
directive, and comment-out SWP-specific macros and pragmas. These
comment-outs will later show up as harmless ERT (evil red text - embedded
TeX commands, but here, merely % comments) in the LyX document. Those can
be left alone (harmless), or deleted as desired.
II. Metafile-to-EPS conversion (optional, but recommended)
Convert any figures that are windows metafiles (.wmf, .emf) to .eps:
A. go to c:\Program Files\LyX15\bin,
-- right-click metafile2eps.exe, and PinToStartMenu
-- this makes it easy to invoke the program from the Start Menu
B.
- Open Powerpoint and metafile2eps windows
- drag .wmf file icon into Powerpoint -- should auto-open the graphic
-- in powerpoint: select-All, Copy
- in metafile2eps window: Editpaste, then FileExportEPS (can use
button icons)
Note that when pasting, the image actually shown in the metafile2eps GUI
window may not be the complete figure you were expecting, but don't be
alarmed - the complete figure is put to the EPS file intact.
C. In .tex file, using a text editor (e.g., WinVi32, WordPad etc)
search/replace .wmf to .eps, etc.
III. The following is a current bug in the behind-scenes tex2lyx converter
program; it will someday get fixed (bug 4418). Meanwhile, here's the
workaround:
In the .tex file, using a text editor (e.g., WinVi32, WordPad etc)
search/replace:
natheight with %natheight
natwidth with %natwidth
IV. LyX:DocumentSettingsLaTeX Preamble:
You may need to change the \usepackage directives to match MikTeX (or
whatever LaTeX installation you're employing). For example, there is no
such package (at least in MikTeX):
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
In this case, it's easy to delete this entry in the preamble and find
built-in provisions for this functionality under DocumentSettingsPage
Layout to get what you want.
V. BibTeX Bibliography:
For converted .tex files that included a BibTeX bibliography at the end, at
the tail of the resulting LyX document, there will be a grey tag labeled
BibTeX Generated Bibliography - clicking it pops a menu showing the .bib
database files and a selectable bib style.

I'm trying to import a SWP portable LaTeX file into LyX1.5.2 (just
downloaded few days ago - web-based installer, WinXP). I keep getting the
same resulting error message (pop-up):
LyX: Document Format Failure
C:\Documents and Settings...\Local Settings\Temp\lyx_tempdirXXX\XXX ended
unexpectedly, which means that it is probably corrupted.
Then the LyX GUI shows a partially imported result. I've tried several
variations to diagnose what might be the problem:
1. First tried importing the .tex file, that contained .wmf files for
\includegraphics (I had installed metafile2eps). The partial import did
display the graphics. But I thought perhaps the conversion/render script
buffer might be overfilled...
2. Then I converted all my graphics to .eps, changed their references to
.eps in the .tex file, then tried again. Same result (same point in
document at which the import was partial). So it wasn't due to .wmf
conversion overflows...
3. I tried snipping out the section of the document around the area where
the import terminated. The subsequent import effort produced a partial
import that proceeded further into the document. I could not discern any
commonality between the two halting points in the raw .tex file.
Some other clues:
A. I did notice that of the several figures imported, only 1 was
treated as a float, with caption. I examined this and compared it to the
other figures not so treated, and could not discern any difference between
their \begin{figure} and \includegraphics directives.
B. Before exiting the LyX session, I went into the Temp folder, and
found what appeared to be a temporary lyx-format file (no extension) - it
contained a tex2lyx conversion of my *entire* .tex file. So perhaps (in my
feeble understanding) the problem lies in the lyx2lyx conversion?
Does anyone have any immediate suggestions? Should this get posted to
bugzilla?
If/when I succeed, I intend to post a how-to for SWP-to-LyX (as of
1.5.2).
Thanks!

Paul A. Rubin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hey Frank, Was the XXX file in the error message your SWP file, the intermediate file you found, or the final .lyx file? There are some known instances of tex2lyx failing, and SWP lards up its portable files with lots of SWP-specific macros. The divide-and-conquer approach you were taking usually works at isolating where the problem lies. If you'd care to send the files to me, or post them here, I'll take a look and see if I can narrow down where the problem lies. /Paul Hi Paul, Thanks for your offer. I've sent you the files directly. The XXX file was the intermediate temporary file I found (the one that seemed to be a complete parse of my .tex file, in lyx format). Regards,
Re: Pre-Mature Import Abort (Document Format Failure)?
Hi again, Duh, I should have noticed earlier ... the .lyx file saved by the LyX GUI (i.e., into my working directory, not the temporary directory) is *also* a complete end-to-end parse of my .tex file (i.e., has my trailing bibtex invocation, \end_document, etc). I did a diff between this file and the temporary one named XXX in the TEMP directory, and they are somewhat different. Another clue as to where things are going awry?
Re: Pre-Mature Import Abort (Document Format Failure)?
Another obvious thing I should now mention is that, if I Open the saved .lyx file (the one saved earlier by LyX into my working directory) into a new LyX session, then the same LyX:Document Format Failure popup error occurs. So the problem is likely well past the tex2lyx stage?

Hi Anyone,
This is really bizarre, but progress nonetheless.
I'm finding that if I merely add the
trim=0.00in 0.00in 0.000in 0.00in,
directive into the \includegraphics[
section, things work out! That is, at/near the point in my .tex file where I
*don't* do this, is where LyX poops out. As I keep moving deeper into my .tex
file and adding this to each {figure}, I'm extending the point at which LyX is
rendering the document within the GUI. Also, each figure so touched will
render with a real numbered caption within the LyX GUI (otherwise not).
Here is a snippet of one of my {figure}s:
\begin{figure}
[ptb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[
trim=0.00in 0.00in 0.000in 0.00in,
natheight=2.792800in,
natwidth=4.535500in,
height=1.2324in,
width=1.9951in
]%
{SingletRecord.eps}%
\caption{Data Record Plot, Showing Detector Digital Counts as a Function of
Pixel Index, for a Group of Pixels Illuminated by a Singlet Spectral Line. }%
\label{fig:SingletRecord}%
\end{center}
\end{figure}
Note that LyX seems happy with either the \label separate from, or embedded
within the \caption argument.
So what does this imply about what is going on, and any remedies (if any) for
LyX bugfixing?
Regards,
Frank
