Re: aligning paragraphs
If you choose Alignment = Left in the Paragraph menu you have no hyphenation in the
final document. For left aligned text with hyphenation write the following into your
preamble:
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\RaggedRight
Apart from that you can edit the layout files (first copy them to "~/.lyx/layouts") to
get rid of block alignment in lyx.

aligning paragraphs
I notice that lyx automatically justifies pages. I don't like my text justified. It is harder to read. Also, it is really a big pain to edit. When I put my cursor in the middle of a paragraph and begin to type, the text jerks across the page because it is trying to itself. How can I get the text to align left? (I need to do this not just for a final document, but when I am editing files.) Thanks! Paul -- *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]*

On closer inspection ... the problem is that LaTeX is reading the closing
brace of your fbox command as an item in the description environment.
I got round this eventually with the solution I mentioned before (i.e. create
your own boxed minipage environment) but still can't get it to work with
plain fbox. See attached LaTeX file for the workable version.

\fbox is fragile, if I remember rightly. You can get out of this by using a
minipage. Put something like this in your preamble:
\newenvironment{myBox}{%
\vspace{4mm}
\noindent%
\begin{lrbox}{\@tempboxa}%
\begin{minipage}[c]{0.5\columnwidth}%
}{%
\end{minipage}%
\end{lrbox}%
\centering
\fbox{\parbox{0.5\columnwidth}{\usebox{\@tempboxa}}}\\%
\vspace{4mm}
}%
This is adapted a little from one of Herbert's bits of LaTeX wizardry -
you'll probably want to play with it to get your box the right size and in
the right position.

Thank everyone for your help -- it allowed me to get the doc to the customer
on short notice. What I ended up doing was:
layout->document->document_tab->pagestyle->fancy
And then:
layout->LaTeXpreamble:
\lfoot{.\\ .\\ Copyright (C) 2001 by Steve Litt, all rights reserved.\\
Licensed to .}
Now that I know about \copyright, I'll substitute that for (C) :-)
The footer as described does not overwrite the centered page number, because
I skip 2 lines with .\\.\\
Thanks again. I needed to get that doc into my customer's hands pronto, and
with all of your help, I did.
Steve

UPDATE of Lyx for Windows
Due to a change in Cygwin release 1.3.3 access to DOS/Win32 drives will not be supported using //x as in releases before. Therefore I have recompiled Lyx using the newest Cygwin release and have updated all scripts and my installation instructions you can find as usual here: http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm If anybody using Lyx 1.1.6fix3 has upgraded to Cygwin 1.3.3 he SHOULD upgrade Lyx to release 1.1.6fix3a, too!

Try inserting this TeX command (in red) somewhere before your references:
