Long lines are trimmed in the Postscript preview !!!
Hello all, I have to write some documentation and I have to insert a report example inside. The report example has very long lines (245 characters/line). I set the paper size to A3 orientation landscape. The report example lines I have defined them with "typewriter" font and "smaller". In DVI preview I can see very fine those long lines but when I want to see the Postscript preview the lines are cut ar 75% (I cannot see the whole line). It's not a Lyx problem, it's a dvips problem but can you help me somehow ? Please cc:me to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I someone is interested, I can send him as attachment a small file containing the example. Or, take the following lines , unwrap them (make a whole single line of them) and put it into a Lyx document. Set the page to A3 landscape and set the fonts for that line "typewriter" "smaller" and check if yu can see it with dvi preview. You should see the whole line. Check then the Postscript preview. You cannot see the last number (277.915.533) 1Capital... 110.779.526 329.297.681 11.463.388.344 11.435.820.024 2.006.877.388 2.093.843.106 13.470.265.732 13.529.663.130 13.581.045.258 13.858.960.811 0 277.915.553 (the line is begining with 1 and it is ending with 277.915.553) Thanks in advance, -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA

Jean-Pierre Thankyou, I have solved it by following a suggestion to just used crude Latex - it is messy but it is quick and it works!

If you need to customize headers and footers in the remaining of the document, using fancyhdr.sty will provide the necessary fields, but it needs a little LaTeX involvment. Regards -- Jean-Pierre
Urgent Typesetting Question
Sorry to ask this - it is almost ceratinly a latex question but here goes System: lyx-1.0.1 on Ultra 5 I have a title page with Title Author Date I actually put my degree type, school and year in the date field, apparently have to have the "degree type, school and year" at the foot of the page. How can I make the date field drop to the foot of the page? Should I be using another field and skipping date field entirely? Help on this one will be appreciated and repaid by my attempting to answer many many similar questions once I get up to speed on this.

Master Pages?
Hi all, Does anyone know if there's any way to create "master-pages" within LyX? A friend who's stuck with FrameMaker would really like to start playing with LyX, but says he can't do without this one capability which Frame provides. I'd love to be able to tell him that there's something similar. Thanks, -- Seeya, Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] Broadband Technology Division - Bay Networks (now a Nortel Company, Eh? :) If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
Lyx 1.0.1 preview etc.
Hello Lyx users ! I've just succeeded in getting Lyx to work somehow. My system is RedHat 5.2 and i had to link some library files to the appropriate directories before it started to work (xforms, if i remember correctly, i just guessed their location). I did the rpm-installation with glint. Now i can go through come of the lyx-documentation and help-files. One of the problems is, that i can't do anything that would mean writing something to a file from Lyx. I can't use any of the preview-commands or i can't save configuration data (the last command in the options-menu). The program crashes every time i try to do something like that. E.g in the case of preview i get the message, that Lyx isn't able to go to the directory /tmp/...(something) and then it's over. I have checked that the tmp-directory in question actually exists (after the execution of Lyx). I've also checked the rights of the directories and they seem to be OK, also in the case of /home/risto/.lyx . >From the command-line interface i can see also, that Lyx suggetst that i've found a bug (somewhere i saw a number 138) from the program, but i suspect that there's something in the installation. Any ideas how to proceed ? BR:Risto Kuusisto
working with text modules ....
Hi,
I have a problem with using text modules.
Example:
I´ve created a text module "input_a.lyx"with an minipage from the
beginning to the end of this text module.
Now , there is a document "a.lyx" which uses this text module without an
minipage.
Now the text module "input_a.tex" is without the header-definitions and
without \begin{document}, \end{document}.
"input_a.tex" is beginning with \begin{minipage} and at the end
there is a \end{minipage}...
Now, there is a second document "b.lyx" which uses the "input_a.lyx" too
but this has a text line and after this an input of "input_a.lyx". And
these two line are in a minipage paragraph.
NOW, what's happen!?
LyX saves (export TeX) the "b.lyx/tex" and changes the
"input_a.lyx/tex", so there is the beginning of the minipage in
"b.lyx/tex" and the end of the minipage in "input_a.lyx/tex".
So , when I use the TeX-Files "a.tex" with an input of "input_a.tex" it
wouldn't work, because there is an \end{minipage} left. latex would
write an Error!
Now I save (export TeX) the "a.lyx" -File and now the File "a.tex"will
work, but the "b.tex" wouldn't because there is an \begin{minpage} left!
I hope you understand it!
Help is needed! Is this delibrated?!
Sven.
