Maybe you could produce some Ascii art or post a link to some picture to show what you want to achieve. I have never used many ortected blanks to shuffle math around. Have you had a look at http://www.lyx.org/help? Which version of LyX are you using? Andre' -- André Pönitz .. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: bibtex in lyx
The file generated should be the bibtex file you use. But you don't 'include'
the file--what you do is you say at the end of your document in TeX (red text)
\bibliographystyle{foo}
\bibliography{bibfile}
Bibfile is without the .bib extension. All you need to do to make the bib
file available is to put it in your TEXDIR/bibtex/bib directory, or whatever
the equivalent is on your system, and run
texconfig rehash
If that doesn't do the trick then post specifically what you did and what is
happening that tells you it isn't working.

Ghostscript rendering problems with LyX 1.1.6 series
LyX 1.1.6+ uses ghostscript to render figures in the GUI. Prior to 1.1.6fix3 (I think), there was an xforms bug that meant certain interactions caused the rendering to not complete properly. This xforms bug is still partly there (using menus when rendering completes for a figure will break). With ghostscript 6.xx, up to and including 6.52 (i.e. all GNU ghostscript versions), there is a bug : https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=224957&group_id=1897&atid=101897 which prevents operation with lyx 1.1.6. You must apply the patch in the bug, or upgrade to 7.xx to avoid this problem. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55772 is the RedHat bug on their version. I am about to contact the ghostscript team regarding releasing a GNU ghostscript version with this fix (if possible). I hope this clears things up for some people.

Using latex in lyx
Hello, I need to type long latex expressions that use more than one line. (For example: multiple equations, arrays, the cases environment, etc. I know I can do most if not all the work with lyx itself but I want to demonstrate the 2 ways of doing math in lyx). It is possible to make nice indented layouts for these expressions using Protected Blanks and Protected Returns. But this gets to be quite tiring after a while. My question is if there is some "hidden" latex layout tool or some "trick" to do these kinds of things without using C-Space and/or C-Return. Alexander
bibtex in lyx
Hi, I have generated a bibliography-list with pybliographic, but now I'm wondering how to procede with it to convert it into the bibtex file which I can include into lyx. Please don't tell me to have a look on several howto etc. pages, because that's what I have been doing for quite a time, but I really can't find anything which helps me to resolve the problem. I hope that someone can help me as I really don't want to write the whole list again. Thanks. Rubén

Table question...
Dear LyX-Users, how can I change the alignment of text inside the table from left-right-justify to only left-justify. I don't want aligning my text into left-right-justify (it was too bad). The left-right-justify was arised when I have changed the co- lum-nwidth of the table. Thank you very much for your kind help.

Font list ??
Hi, does anybody know of a list that shows different types of fonts, the best would be a picture with the names below? Because trying everytime with the fonts I find in .../texmf/fonts is a bit anoying. Rubén

Oops, I forgot that. :-) My wife uses that version, so I decided that it was easier to find if this problem was fixed than to fix it myself. ;-) One thing that this bug shows is that we need to change to the new numbering scheme they call it to the new package: lyx-1.1.6-8.1 They don't say what fix is it. Also notice that they give as solution a package from 8.1. So this must be a hint that the problem is fixed with the package for 8.1, or maybe I'm assuming too much. > JMarc -- José Abílio Matos LyX and docbook a perfect match. :-)

So they provide a broken binary in their standard distrib... I have mandrake 8.1 on my home computer, so I will probably be able to sort out some of these problems in a few weeks. I understand however that it is a bit late :) IN the meantime, you can get a rpm at ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.1.6fix3/. JMarc
