We will have in next version a much cleaner way of iterating through
documents (currently the data structure is a nightmare...). Then,
wrinting a wordcount should be straightforward (probably a few lines
of scheme, if we get to add scripting language support then).

Include with format?

[root]

I am writing a letter in which I need to include about thirty names at the end
(I am treating this doc. as an article). My problem is that Insert|Include
File|As Include doesn't seem to import my two-column formatting from the
included file. None of the other styles in that dialogue seem to do it either.

Maybe there is a different way to do it. All I want to do is have the first
part of my document in one-column, and the second half, the names, in
two-column. 

Help?

BTW: what about three columns? Is that possible?

IEEEtran - how do I use it?

I have IEEEtran.layout in /usr/local/share/lyx/layouts - but under

We will have in next version a much cleaner way of iterating through
documents (currently the data structure is a nightmare...). Then,
wrinting a wordcount should be straightforward (probably a few lines
of scheme, if we get to add scripting language support then).

Of course not. I was just trying to discourage people for asking for
the feature :)

I agree that this should be on the (virtual) to-do list. However, we
have to move on to next version because much work is awaiting
us. Hopefully, with the kernel rewrite, it will be possible to
consider only a subset of a document in a somple way, thus making an
elaborate word-counting *much* easier to write.

When I received your message, it had the line
List-Unsubscribe: 


in the headers. This means that *I* can unsubscribe from the list by
sending an empty message to the address 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In your case, the address will probably be a bitt different, but
something like
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
should work fine.

Include with format?

[root]

I am writing a letter in which I need to include about thirty names at the end
(I am treating this doc. as an article). My problem is that Insert|Include
File|As Include doesn't seem to import my two-column formatting from the
included file. None of the other styles in that dialogue seem to do it either.

Maybe there is a different way to do it. All I want to do is have the first
part of my document in one-column, and the second half, the names, in
two-column. 

Help?

BTW: what about three columns? Is that possible?

IEEEtran - how do I use it?

[nbecker]

I have IEEEtran.layout in /usr/local/share/lyx/layouts - but under
layout/document/class it's not listed.  How do I get it?

Thanks.

Hope you were not offended by the suggestions. As has been said the
document can easily be exported as plain ascii and a a 'wc' done on that
so I do not think the function is an urgent one. Longer term though it may
be of use as more people start using Lyx having no concept of command
invocation - i.e. they are spoon fed from a kde/gnome desktop.

Thanks for trying anyway,

James

RE: Include with format?

[Roland Krause]

You could try to create a table with the appropriate number of rows and columns,
then try to import your file into the table.

Note, that you can create tables withouth lines as  borders.

Good luck
