Hi,
just a proposal:

The Windows site: Copy and paste your Word figure into a kind of picture
manipulation programm such as Paint Shoip Pro or Paint
Save it as a BMP-file
The Linux site: Open the BMP file with something like XV and save it as an
EPS-file.
Use the Insert -> figure - command to insert the eps-file into you
LyX-document.

Stephan

I know nothing about Latex and I knew nothing about Lyx, but had used

math symbols and figures and so I downloaded lyx 1.1.4fix3 rpm and 
installed it. I Read the tutorial and had the paper written in a 
couple of hours! I am sure there are lots of features and cool things
I can learn how to do as time goes by ... but I just wanted to 
produce the paper and lyx understood what I wanted to do. No strain,
no pain. Keep up the good work! I have a couple of questions.
I got some invalid Latex produced and had to mess around with what I
was doing in the gui to get rid of them. Is invalid Latex a \"should
not occur\" or is it something that happens sometimes?
I have many type1 and truetype fonts installed on my system. Lyx makes
only a few of my type1\'s available for printing. How do I get Lyx to
recognize the other fonts, or are just these few supported?

  You are right, that is a bug. But that's not lyx fault. :)

  The problem is during the pass to html, if you look to the
resulting html, clean up with tidy, the result is:




Title

Abstract


 


 

First Section
 
Text with [brackets] and

  The problem is simple, the & from the entities was converted, and it
shouldn't. The real solution is to upgrade the stylesheets then.
  A simple script could fix it also...

Exactly. The em and en spaces are not fixed sizes; they're proportional to
the font size. But yes, an en space is slightly larger than a normal
space, and that's what I'm trying to insert.

copy and paste with paragraph formatting?

is it possible in lyx to copy and past whole parts of a document

I'll hunt around but you can try and duplicate it yourself.  Put the 
following into CODE format:

/--->bin
  |
  +->etc
  | |
  | +->rc.d

If I do that in a DocBook file, the resulting sgml export is double 
spaced and the initial spaces are trimmed, which puts the first line 
out of sync with the others.

it is but you should consider that the layout of the first copied paragraph
is adapded to the layout of the paragraph you copy this too. So you should
always select from behind the last character of the paragraph before.

only the first line becomes paragraph-style standard. the rest is copied

Yes, you're right.  I chased this up on the ldp list and it turns out
to be a problem with the DSSSL stylesheet settings.  In 
/docbook/html/docbook.dsl the following setting:

(declare-characteristic preserve-sdata?
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Characteristic::preserve-sdata?" #t)

should be changed to #f

That fixes it for html but still leaves a problem with tildes in 
Postscript, which I have yet to ferret out (somewhere in the 
docbool/print
stylesheets).

What worries me about this is that the whole point of sgml is not to 
worry 
about the formatting.  Even if you do fix this on your own machine 
it's going
to be wrong anywhere where someone has your sgml document and the 
default DocBook
stylesheets.  Kind of defeats the purpose.

To avoid this it's probably better to replace &ldquo and &rdquo with 
".  Is
it much of a job to change the DocBook layout files to do this?

Well I see you have a titlepage and there the standart \pagestyle{empty}

The title page of an article is a special page which must be forced
e.g. by an explicit 
\thispagestyle{empty}
after the \maketitle
Equivalent ERT in LyX (don't know a LyX workaround, maybe in the FAQ ?)
If you had written more than one page you would have seen that
other pages were empty :-)

This is a common problem. See:

It seems you'll have to resort to ERT. Or add

Ahhh! Many thanks, Jürgen. Incidentally, putting this before the title doesn't
work. It has to go after.

I class this as a bug. To my mind setting pagestyle to empty in the Layout

Tempting! I guess I really meant that I class this as a bug in LyX. It's the
sort of LaTeX implementation detail that the user doesn't need to know about,
but would expect to happen.

Have I just talked myself into implementing a feature? Oh no!

do you mean something like this

\( line_{sub_{sub_{sub_{sub_{sub} \)

it's written in LyX mathmode (ctr-m or from the menu)

A few questions

2000-05-04 Thread Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia

Hi all,

I've been using LyX for some time now and I am now finishing 
my work, so the time for fine-tuning is coming :-)

First, let me say how great LyX is and how grateful I am for
your work. And now the questions:

- I can specify either Skip or Indent in the document layout
settings; but how do I go about having both of them ? I would
like my paragraphs indented and with some separation between
them. Any magic latex for the preamble, maybe?

- Also, how can I specify 'float' placement flags (h, t, b,
etc.) for individual floats? The user guide says that it can
be done with latex code, but I don't know anything about latex
(that's why I love LyX so much). Suggestions?

- The last one: I have set line spacing to 1.25 which gives a
much more pleasant (less 'packed') effect in the final ps. But
is there any way to have this also reflected in the rows of
tables, or in the space between footnotes, or even in the space
between a caption and the corresponding image/table/whatever?

That's all. Please CC me as I am not subscribed. Thanks!

Keep up the good work,
G.

[Note: using LyX 1.1.2, Spanish]

I guess (seeing the preamble command indicated by Jean-Marc)
that this behaviour has something to do with the concept
of « plain » pages, which would be awkward to wipe out. 
You should have a look at the fancyhdr package, if you have not
done it already.

choose indent and in tex (red)   \parskip1cm plus1cm minus 0.5cm  
(the values are only examples)

leave  layout->document->float placemant blank and put in your floats 
individual
as the very first line in red [!h] or [htb] or [!htb] or anythind else.

choose lyx 1.1.5, linespacing is possible for several values or choose 
package setspace
available from ctan.

for tables and arrays:

\def\arraystretch{1.8}
or
\def\xstrut{\raisebox{-1.9ex}{\rule{0pt}{5ex}}}

and than in every tableline   \xstrut

And I'd really like the other way round, lyx2rtf.

I know of several LaTeX to RTF converters, but they all gave me
unsatisfying results.

And again, I'd like to have a lyx2doc and doc2lyx utility (doc means
AportisDoc for PalmOS in this case) to be able to handle LyX documents
on my Palm...

Unfortunately I'm not that experienced with document processor's file
formats...

cul8r,
Frank
