No, it does not work with french package, which overrides the bullets

"francais" as language) in Layout-Document-Extra_Options should do

It is the horizontal bar on each subsequent page in the header where

two solutions, both worked for me!
1. the \renewcommand in latex preamble of the lyx-file!!
not in the class-file, because this has (from my point of view)
a little bug.
2. choose the attached hollywood.class -file and try
again. i changed the postion of some commands, like
\usepackage{fancyhdr}, and put the \renewcommand at the end,
so that everything works.

When I exported the document as latex, there is the following at the top

I've already added this feature :) However, the inputenc package allows changing the input encoding only between paragraphs, (not inside paragraphs). I tried to change the package to remove my limitations, but since I don't know much about latex programming, I couldn't managed to do it without adding some side-effects. Does anyone knows how to do it correctly ? I also want to add support for Omega, which I think allows processing of utf8 encoded files. A patch from you will be welcomed. For 1.1.5 i can suggest the patch to add this feature and also to provide the possibility to add more encoding and languages than precompiled in LyX. I have planned to have the languages definition in a file and not hard-coded, but I haven't done it yet. Again, a patch will be welcomed.

Yes, it is!
Just write \usepackage[ragged2e]{raggedr} in the preamble of your document
(Layout-Latex-Preamble), that's it!
(Of course you have to install ragged2e.sty and raggedr.sty if they are
not part of your distribution).
Or: Use Format-Paragraph, choose Alignment: Left for all parapraphs of

Building LyX for HP-UX 10.20 (gcc): menus flicker
I've built LyX 1.1.5 fix1 from source using gcc 2.95.2 and Xforms 0.88 on HP-UX 10.20. I am able to run the program, but none of the pull-down menus work properly. The menus pull down, but they flicker rapidly and the flickering makes it difficult to select an item within a menu using the mouse. Also, if I hold down the mouse button long enough (as if I'm using MacOS menus), I can generate a fatal error (see below). If I choose File - Import, the additional menu appears, and the flickering gets worse. It's impossible to read the additional menu options, and the title of the Import tab is garbage as if two things are overwriting that space. In this case, if I leave the menu up, eventually defpup will fail again in the same place as below, but with 32 menus allocated to "Notitle". Additional messages repeatedly appear with "In pupshortcut [xpopup.c 569] Bad popup index -1" terminating with one line of "In dopup [xpopup.c 1023] bad pupID: -1" and then "LyX: This shouldn't happen..." !!! Sometimes when I try to choose a menu item, an Alert box appears: "Error! Couldn't delete temporary directory: /tmp/lyx_tmp1249aaa No such file or directory." When I dismiss the alert box, the menu item might work, or it might not. On occasion, the alerts will continue to appear, seemingly forever. The mini-buffer shows shortcut keys for the menu items if I position the mouse properly. I am able to navigate within the program using shortcuts of key combinations. The toolbar entries also work properly. I'm not sure where to go from here. How should I approach this problem? Thanks, Bruce Foster Here is the error traceback that appears when I press button 1 too long: In defpup [xpopup.c 171] Exceeded FL_MAXPUP (32) Please check for leaks.

Hollywood (the place) is very fussy about format.
I still have one major problem with the hollywood class. The header has
a rule! That is verboten in Hollywood. I tried uncommenting some lines
in the hollywood.cls file but that gave me errors. I am a long time
TeXer but LaTeX is not my best friend. So I don't know what to do to
kill the rule. Any suggestions?

Two commands like that are commented out in hollywood.lyx. I
uncommented the first, went through texhash and reconfigure, called up
my document, and when I attempted to print a page got two errors. At the
very beginning I get the error:
LaTeX Error: Command headrulewidth already defined
\newcommand{headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
...and at what is probably a page break I get the error
LaTeX Error: \headrulewidth undefined
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
In the hollywood.cls file there are only two references to
headrulewidth, both of the form:
%\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
...and both commented out. I uncommented one of these and that causes
the errors. BTW one of the instances of this command (the one I left as
a comment) is mispelled.
two solutions, both worked for me!
1. the \renewcommand in latex preamble of the lyx-file!!
not in the class-file, because this has (from my point of view)
a little bug.
2. choose the attached hollywood.class -file and try
again. i changed the postion of some commands, like
\usepackage{fancyhdr}, and put the \renewcommand at the end,
so that everything works.

What do you write exactly as extra option ?
With the francais package, I've tried "noextrasfrancais",

When I exported the document as latex, there is the following at the top

Building LyX for HP-UX 10.20 (gcc): menus flicker
I've built LyX 1.1.5 fix1 from source using gcc 2.95.2 and Xforms 0.88 on HP-UX 10.20. I am able to run the program, but none of the pull-down menus work properly. The menus pull down, but they flicker rapidly and the flickering makes it difficult to select an item within a menu using the mouse. Also, if I hold down the mouse button long enough (as if I'm using MacOS menus), I can generate a fatal error (see below). If I choose File - Import, the additional menu appears, and the flickering gets worse. It's impossible to read the additional menu options, and the title of the Import tab is garbage as if two things are overwriting that space. In this case, if I leave the menu up, eventually defpup will fail again in the same place as below, but with 32 menus allocated to "Notitle". Additional messages repeatedly appear with "In pupshortcut [xpopup.c 569] Bad popup index -1" terminating with one line of "In dopup [xpopup.c 1023] bad pupID: -1" and then "LyX: This shouldn't happen..." !!! Sometimes when I try to choose a menu item, an Alert box appears: "Error! Couldn't delete temporary directory: /tmp/lyx_tmp1249aaa No such file or directory." When I dismiss the alert box, the menu item might work, or it might not. On occasion, the alerts will continue to appear, seemingly forever.

No, it does not work with french package, which overrides the bullets
at \begin{document} time. After studying a bit the source of
frenchb.ldf, it seems that using the option "noextrasfrancais" (use
"francais" as language) in Layout->Document->Extra_Options should do

I wrote you separately about the margins. My authorities want 1 inch on
the right, not .75 inch. I can fix that.
It is the horizontal bar on each subsequent page in the header where
the pagenumber appears that is the problem. I know how to reconfigure
the headline in TeX but not in LaTeX.
AFAIK underlining the title is optional. My example from the academy
folks does not show it.
That texhash--reconfigure sequence should be writ large in the install
instructions! That was the first problem I overcame thanks to Herb V.

Two commands like that are commented out in hollywood.lyx. I
uncommented the first, went through texhash and reconfigure, called up
my document, and when I attempted to print a page got two errors. At the
very beginning I get the error:
LaTeX Error: Command headrulewidth already defined
\newcommand{headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
...and at what is probably a page break I get the error
LaTeX Error: \headrulewidth undefined
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
In the hollywood.cls file there are only two references to
headrulewidth, both of the form:
%\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
...and both commented out. I uncommented one of these and that causes
the errors. BTW one of the instances of this command (the one I left as
a comment) is mispelled.
There are no other references to headrulewidth in hollywood.cls so the
original setting (0.4pt) must be described in some other cls file or
whatever.
If all else fails I will try a \def command and see if that works :-|

\headrulewith is a fancyhdr.sty command, so \renewcommand will fail
if fancyhdr is not called by hollywood.cls
If this class calls the older fancyheadings.sty, then the command is AFAIR
