Paperfontsize
Hello, My question is: how can I change the paperfontsize to 9 pt? Lyx only seems to give me the options default, 10,11 or 12 pt. I am writing a two-column document, for which the smaller font size would be very useful [I tried changing /paperfontsize in my Lyx document manually, but that doesn't work] Thank you Philipp
RE: Followup: Bibliography problems.
Hi... I actually FIXed it! I specifyed the key value in each of the bib item. I used author's lastname+year as the key and ignore the label(so the citation appears as number in print). It is easier when I want to cite it since the key is more meaningful than number only. I just had to go throw my report and change all the citations. But I am happy with lyx now! I think there is still a problem: if I change the key value in Bibliography item, the key value cited in text will not get updated then it appears as error (?). Also, it does not detect duplicate key value... Zailong -Original Message- From: J.Sauer To: Zailong Bian Sent: 8/31/00 6:19 AM Subject: Re: Followup: Bibliography problems.

AMS-BOOK intenationalization HOWTO
I'm going to write a mini-howto about internationalization of AMS-Book document class in LyX. Herbert Voss solved all my problems about it (many thanks to him), so I'm going to collect all his work (and a bit of mine) to let other people use AMS-Book document class in their language. As soon as possible I'll post everything or an URL. If someone has particular requests or suggestions, please e-mail me. Emanuele P.S.: I don't know how to do a proper internationalization, so I'll write a short paper and add some files. If some know the right way to do...

Bibliography
Greetings: The recent bibliography thread reminded me: inserting several bibtex references in a row doesn't do what I'd like: (Lyx window)_becomes_ (latex) blah[cite1][cite2] blah \cite{cite1}\cite{cite2} The output then looks like this: blah [1][2] when it ought to be this: blah [1-2] How about merging adjacent citations when the LaTex output is generated, like this: (Lyx window) _becomes_ (latex) blah[cite1][cite2][cite3] blah \cite{cite1,cite2,cite3} This way bibtex can Do The Right Thing, be it [1-3] or (key1,key2,key3) or whatever. Pehaps adjacent \LatexCommand insets should routinely be merged when the actual LaTex output is generated -- but the citation-merging would still need to happen. As is, (LyX 1.1.5fix1 of Tue Jul 18, 2000) I can put in the several citation keys in the bibtex pop-up (and it works fine) BUT it makes adding citations or changing their arrangement more problematic.
