latex2rtf -C latin2
Hi all, I was trying to use the latex2rtf as a convertor in LyX. But I use latin2 (8859-2) encoding. This program in latest version should support codepages, but the related parameter (-C) is not implemented correctly. I have reported this as a bug, but have problems to compile it repaired. Has anyone made succesfully this work already? I.E does anybody use latex2rtf with non-latin1 codepage? The result with default codepage is that some characters are MISSING in the RTF output. Not wrongly coded, but missing :O(. Thanks Pavel Hampl -- -- Pavel Hampl email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GN Resources CZ http://www.gncz.cz Ve Smeckach 20 tel: +420-2-96337821 NEW! 11000 Praha 1, CZ
lyx and PPC processor
Hi lyx users! I'm using lyx and linux on an iMac, with an old LinuxPPC distribution. I'm planning to get some better linux distro, now that many distros support the PPC processor. I was considering using YellowdogLinux, which is a distribution specifically targeted for mac hardware, so I thought some things might go better... But the number one question is: how difficult will it be to install lyx (it seems not to be included in the base distribution)? I switched to linux mainly because of lyx, and I wouldn't live without it now... So if anyone has had an experience with installing lyx on a PPC-running linux, I would be glad to know it! Thank you for any information, Matthieu PS: please cc answers to me, as I only get the digest.

Re: Re: New functionality to allowing viewing of virtual two-column format, i.e. Emacs follow-mode
Hi
It seems from the replies that you are not familiar with the follow-mode, nor that
you've tried it in
Emacs, so let me explain a little bit more in detail.
The follow-mode is at first glance just viewing the document in two (or more)
windows but there
are differences. Basically, the view of the dodument in the two windows are connected,
so that if you
scroll, all windows are scrolled simultaneously. Similarly, if you keep moving the
cursor downwards
(with the down-arrow key), the cursor will jump to the top of the next window when it
comes to the
end of the first window...
If that sounds complicated, here's an example:
Assume that you have a document that consists of a lots of rows, that only contains
the numbers:
1
2
3
...
and so on.
Then a screen with three windows in follow mode (each having 5 lines) would look as
illustrated
below, where ('C' represents the cursor) and the virtual window starts with line 3
and ends with
line 17.
The LyX window =
# #
# -- View 1 -- -- View 2 ---- View 3 -- ... #
# | 3| | 8 || 13| #
# | 4| | 9 || 14| #
# | 5| | 10|| 15| #
# | 6 C | | 11|| 16| #
# | 7| | 12|| 17| #
# -- #
# #
#
Now pressing arrow down twice will move the cursor as follows:
Window 1 Window 2 Window 3
-- -----...
| 3 | | 8 C|| 13 |
| 4 | | 9 || 14 |
| 5 | | 10 || 15 |
| 6 | | 11 || 16 |
| 7 | | 12 || 17 |
-- -----
Now pressing page down would produce the following result
Window 1 Window 2 Window 3
-- -----...
| 18 | | 23 C || 28 |
| 19 | | 24 || 29 |
| 20 | | 25 || 30 |
| 21 | | 26 || 31 |
| 22 | | 27 || 32 |
-- -----
I hope this explains what function I'd like. The main advantage is of course that with
three windows,
you get to see and work with three times as many rows on one screen. I suggest you try
this in Emacs,
if it sounds interesting.

bibliography ,footnote,date: ok. Some further aid , if possible, please:spellchecker, export to Latex and a curiosity
Hello,
I try your hints, and this is the outcome:
A) your hints about deleting the date works perfectly.
B) your hints about {} works: also on my keyboard AltGr+7 and AltGr+0 .
before I tried to use Alt+123 and Alt+125, but such command did not work
with LyX.
C) Bibliography
I used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works. In detail, in the
preamble:
\renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}}
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}
D)footnote:
I used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works:
\renewcommand\@makefhmark{\relax}.
However, I have to put the note not in the author environment, but at the
beginning of the standard environment. But I guess it really does not
matter,
because no label is visible.
Other questions:
1) I would use the spellcheker for my English documents, but also for the
Italian ones, if it is possible. But the edit-spellchecker command does not
works. A Warning is shown to me. Something similar to: Perhaps you do not
have a dictionary file for the language of this document installed. Check
/usr/lib/ispell (I use GNU/Linux Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.4.?) In such a
directory I find only to files italiano.aff and italiano.hash and some
links to them. What can I do? Where can I find/download the required files
(if the problem is really this)?
2) I have then to export my document in LateX format on a PC IBM formatted
floppy. Is it absolutely sure and safe this export operation from Lyx to
LateX, as I suppose, or may I have some conversion problem between the two
format Lyx and LateX? In fact I must submit only latex document. A
curiosity: but then the people to whom it is addressed what kind of tool
will probably use to read it? Can they read such exported file both in
windows and in GNU/Linux or other S.O. Unix-like?

I have to be able to refer to those item in the article , as Bass (1966) and

How can I do this by LyX?
If I understand correctly, what you need to do is to add
\usepackage{natbib}
to the preamble, and use plainnat as the bibliography style.

The first option there (to write \date{}) is the correct one.
Note the help page doesn't tell you where to put it.
You either need to put it in the preamble, or put it inside the document in
LaTeX mode, before the title.
The second option (to put ctrl+space in the date style) is wrong because it
will put too much space between the title and the body of the document.

Press Ctrl-Space which will produce an blue empty space, and
set its style as Date from the tool bar.
Well, this is probably the best advice for beginners, but it
introduce huge gap between title and body of text. The better
advice is to look in the article.cls (or scrartcl.cls, or
something else -- the class of document you use), find definition
of \maketitle, and then redefine it without date. It is not so
bad as you would expect it to be. For example for scrartcl
('article [Koma-Script]' in Layout/Document dialog box), the new
command to be add to Layout/LaTeX preamble is just:
\def\@maketitle{%
\clearpage
\let\footnote\thanks
\begin{center}%
{\sectfont\huge \@title \par}%
\end{center}%
\par
\vskip 2em}
(you may reconsider what kind of size you want for the title --
default \huge is probably inappropriate for just simple document;
either delete \huge at all, or use something smaller like \large)
Happy LyXing!

Problem with tables in new version of Lyx
Hi everyone, I have some strange problems with my master thesis. It's written in Lyx under RedHat, but i dont remeber exactly which version and fix it was (think it was 1.1.5). The header of the lyx file says: --SNIPP--- #LyX 1.1 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat 218 --Stop--- Ok, fine. So now I'm gonna finsish the report at last. So i installed the newest version of Lyx, 1.1.6fix4, under Suse 7.2. But when I try to open the file it says tables 5 not supported anymore or something like that. It also advices me to use an older (before 1.1.x) version of Lyx to do a conversion. So i try that. But when i open the document in 1.0.4 the table is all messed up. It looks like latex but it is not in red. Can anyone please help me with this problem? Regards Anders _ Hitta snörapporter... från 500 olika skidorter i Europa på http://se.snow.yahoo.com

myclass.layout not found
I'm trying to make a new document class, following the docs
from LyX 1.1.5, where in 6.2.2 it says:
For the sake of example we'll assume that the style file is
called myclass.sty and it is meant to be used with report.cls
which is a standard class.
cp report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/myclass.layout
Then edit myclass.layout and change the line:
\DeclareLaTeXClass{report}
to read
\DeclareLaTeXClass[report, myclass.sty]{report (myclass)}
then add:
Preamble
\usepackage{myclass}
EndPreamble
near the top of the file.
Start LyX and... [reconfigure, etc...]
I did all that, verbatim, except that the copy line was:
cp /usr/share/lyx/layouts/report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/myclass.layout
because that's my LyXDir, and there was, indeed a report.layout there.
When I restart LyX and select the Layout-Document popup, I don't see
report (myclass) as I expect.
I must say, I'm a bit confused by the mention first of myclass.sty
and then the subsequent instruction saying myclass.layout. I
tried renaming myclass.layout to myclass.sty, with no effect.
The file report.sty in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/report.sty
doesn't have a line \DeclareLaTeXClass{report} in it, so I assume
the .layout file above is what I should be starting with.
What should I do next?

Re: myclass.layout not found
Wow it seems that I answered this one yesterday, except that in that case it
seemed that the clown hadn't even bothered to download the IEEE layout files.
Have you done the following.
placed the files in a place where they can be found?
ie
usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
Run texhash from the command line?
Reconfigured LyX?
Restarted LyX?
probably not; so do in that order.
You should also look at this website

Has anyone made succesfully this work already? I.E does anybody use latex2rtf with non-latin1 codepage? The result with default codepage is that some characters are MISSING in the RTF output.

lyx and PPC processor
Hi lyx users! I'm using lyx and linux on an iMac, with an old LinuxPPC distribution. I'm planning to get some better linux distro, now that many distros support the PPC processor. I was considering using YellowdogLinux, which is a distribution specifically targeted for mac hardware, so I thought some things might go better... But the number one question is: how difficult will it be to install lyx (it seems not to be included in the base distribution)? I switched to linux mainly because of lyx, and I wouldn't live without it now... So if anyone has had an experience with installing lyx on a PPC-running linux, I would be glad to know it! Thank you for any information, Matthieu PS: please cc answers to me, as I only get the digest.

Re: Re: New functionality to allowing viewing of virtual two-column format, i.e. Emacs follow-mode
Hi
It seems from the replies that you are not familiar with the follow-mode, nor that
you've tried it in
Emacs, so let me explain a little bit more in detail.
The follow-mode is at first glance just viewing the document in two (or more)
windows but there
are differences. Basically, the view of the dodument in the two windows are connected,
so that if you
scroll, all windows are scrolled simultaneously. Similarly, if you keep moving the
cursor downwards
(with the down-arrow key), the cursor will jump to the top of the next window when it
comes to the
end of the first window...
If that sounds complicated, here's an example:
Assume that you have a document that consists of a lots of rows, that only contains
the numbers:
1
2
3
...
and so on.
Then a screen with three windows in follow mode (each having 5 lines) would look as
illustrated
below, where ('C' represents the cursor) and the virtual window starts with line 3
and ends with
line 17.
The LyX window =
# #
# -- View 1 -- -- View 2 ---- View 3 -- ... #
# | 3| | 8 || 13| #
# | 4| | 9 || 14| #
# | 5| | 10|| 15| #
# | 6 C | | 11|| 16| #
# | 7| | 12|| 17| #
# -- #
# #
#
Now pressing arrow down twice will move the cursor as follows:
Window 1 Window 2 Window 3
-- -----...
| 3 | | 8 C|| 13 |
| 4 | | 9 || 14 |
| 5 | | 10 || 15 |
| 6 | | 11 || 16 |
| 7 | | 12 || 17 |
-- -----
Now pressing page down would produce the following result
Window 1 Window 2 Window 3
-- -----...
| 18 | | 23 C || 28 |
| 19 | | 24 || 29 |
| 20 | | 25 || 30 |
| 21 | | 26 || 31 |
| 22 | | 27 || 32 |
-- -----
I hope this explains what function I'd like. The main advantage is of course that with
three windows,
you get to see and work with three times as many rows on one screen. I suggest you try
this in Emacs,
if it sounds interesting.

bibliography ,footnote,date: ok. Some further aid , if possible, please:spellchecker, export to Latex and a curiosity
Hello,
I try your hints, and this is the outcome:
A) your hints about deleting the date works perfectly.
B) your hints about {} works: also on my keyboard AltGr+7 and AltGr+0 .
before I tried to use Alt+123 and Alt+125, but such command did not work
with LyX.
C) Bibliography
I used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works. In detail, in the
preamble:
\renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}}
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}
D)footnote:
I used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works:
\renewcommand\@makefhmark{\relax}.
However, I have to put the note not in the author environment, but at the
beginning of the standard environment. But I guess it really does not
matter,
because no label is visible.
Other questions:
1) I would use the spellcheker for my English documents, but also for the
Italian ones, if it is possible. But the edit-spellchecker command does not
works. A Warning is shown to me. Something similar to: Perhaps you do not
have a dictionary file for the language of this document installed. Check
/usr/lib/ispell (I use GNU/Linux Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.4.?) In such a
directory I find only to files italiano.aff and italiano.hash and some
links to them. What can I do? Where can I find/download the required files
(if the problem is really this)?
2) I have then to export my document in LateX format on a PC IBM formatted
floppy. Is it absolutely sure and safe this export operation from Lyx to
LateX, as I suppose, or may I have some conversion problem between the two
format Lyx and LateX? In fact I must submit only latex document. A
curiosity: but then the people to whom it is addressed what kind of tool
will probably use to read it? Can they read such exported file both in
windows and in GNU/Linux or other S.O. Unix-like?

Conference Trasactions, ASQC, pp. 611-615.
Hans, B.L. (1963). Quality control: Theory and Applications. Prentice-Hall,
Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
and so on...
So no label is present beside each item.
I have to be able to refer to those item in the article , as Bass (1966) and
as Hans (1963) respectively.
How can I do this by LyX?
If I understand correctly, what you need to do is to add
\usepackage{natbib}
to the preamble, and use plainnat as the bibliography style.
The other solutions given to you were wrong.

http://www.lyx.org/help/titlepage/titlepage.php#date
The first option there (to write \date{}) is the correct one.
Note the help page doesn't tell you where to put it.
You either need to put it in the preamble, or put it inside the document in
LaTeX mode, before the title.
The second option (to put ctrl+space in the date style) is wrong because it
will put too much space between the title and the body of the document.

Press Ctrl-Space which will produce an blue empty space, and
set its style as Date from the tool bar.
Well, this is probably the best advice for beginners, but it
introduce huge gap between title and body of text. The better
advice is to look in the article.cls (or scrartcl.cls, or
something else -- the class of document you use), find definition
of \maketitle, and then redefine it without date. It is not so
bad as you would expect it to be. For example for scrartcl
('article [Koma-Script]' in Layout/Document dialog box), the new
command to be add to Layout/LaTeX preamble is just:
\def\@maketitle{%
\clearpage
\let\footnote\thanks
\begin{center}%
{\sectfont\huge \@title \par}%
\end{center}%
\par
\vskip 2em}
(you may reconsider what kind of size you want for the title --
default \huge is probably inappropriate for just simple document;
either delete \huge at all, or use something smaller like \large)
Happy LyXing!

I have used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works. In detail, in
the
preamble:
\renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}}
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}
(B)
On that page it is also suggested to in the preamble:
\usepackage{cite}
\citeleft{}
\citeright{}
However, I have not yet try it.
So I am going to try both what you advise and the aforementioned (B), even
if what I have got, (A), it seems to me working fine.

Problem with tables in new version of Lyx
Hi everyone, I have some strange problems with my master thesis. It's written in Lyx under RedHat, but i dont remeber exactly which version and fix it was (think it was 1.1.5). The header of the lyx file says: --SNIPP--- #LyX 1.1 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat 218 --Stop--- Ok, fine. So now I'm gonna finsish the report at last. So i installed the newest version of Lyx, 1.1.6fix4, under Suse 7.2. But when I try to open the file it says tables 5 not supported anymore or something like that. It also advices me to use an older (before 1.1.x) version of Lyx to do a conversion. So i try that. But when i open the document in 1.0.4 the table is all messed up. It looks like latex but it is not in red. Can anyone please help me with this problem? Regards Anders _ Hitta snörapporter... från 500 olika skidorter i Europa på http://se.snow.yahoo.com

myclass.layout not found
I'm trying to make a new document class, following the docs
from LyX 1.1.5, where in 6.2.2 it says:
For the sake of example we'll assume that the style file is
called myclass.sty and it is meant to be used with report.cls
which is a standard class.
cp report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/myclass.layout
Then edit myclass.layout and change the line:
\DeclareLaTeXClass{report}
to read
\DeclareLaTeXClass[report, myclass.sty]{report (myclass)}
then add:
Preamble
\usepackage{myclass}
EndPreamble
near the top of the file.
Start LyX and... [reconfigure, etc...]
I did all that, verbatim, except that the copy line was:
cp /usr/share/lyx/layouts/report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/myclass.layout
because that's my LyXDir, and there was, indeed a report.layout there.
When I restart LyX and select the Layout-Document popup, I don't see
report (myclass) as I expect.
I must say, I'm a bit confused by the mention first of myclass.sty
and then the subsequent instruction saying myclass.layout. I
tried renaming myclass.layout to myclass.sty, with no effect.
The file report.sty in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/report.sty
doesn't have a line \DeclareLaTeXClass{report} in it, so I assume
the .layout file above is what I should be starting with.
What should I do next?

Re: myclass.layout not found
Wow it seems that I answered this one yesterday, except that in that case it
seemed that the clown hadn't even bothered to download the IEEE layout files.
Have you done the following.
placed the files in a place where they can be found?
ie
usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
Run texhash from the command line?
Reconfigured LyX?
Restarted LyX?
probably not; so do in that order.
You should also look at this website

latex2rtf -C latin2
Hi all, I was trying to use the latex2rtf as a convertor in LyX. But I use latin2 (8859-2) encoding. This program in latest version should support codepages, but the related parameter (-C) is not implemented correctly. I have reported this as a bug, but have problems to compile it repaired. Has anyone made succesfully this work already? I.E does anybody use latex2rtf with non-latin1 codepage? The result with default codepage is that some characters are MISSING in the RTF output. Not wrongly coded, but missing :O(. Thanks Pavel Hampl -- -- Pavel Hampl email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GN Resources CZ http://www.gncz.cz Ve Smeckach 20 tel: +420-2-96337821 <
lyx and PPC processor
Hi lyx users! I'm using lyx and linux on an iMac, with an old LinuxPPC distribution. I'm planning to get some better linux distro, now that many distros support the PPC processor. I was considering using YellowdogLinux, which is a distribution specifically targeted for mac hardware, so I thought some things might go better... But the number one question is: how difficult will it be to install lyx (it seems not to be included in the base distribution)? I switched to linux mainly because of lyx, and I wouldn't live without it now... So if anyone has had an experience with installing lyx on a PPC-running linux, I would be glad to know it! Thank you for any information, Matthieu PS: please cc answers to me, as I only get the digest.

If you're interested in an rpm, I made the 7.1.rpm available on ftp.sylvan.com (ie Kayvan made it available..., I merely built it) Just make sure your libc is up to date (the dependencies should tell you that) Unfortunately I still have to build the 1.1.6fix4.rpm on my new 7.3-system.

Re: Re: New functionality to allowing viewing of virtual two-column format, i.e. Emacs follow-mode
Hi
It seems from the replies that you are not familiar with the follow-mode, nor that
you've tried it in
Emacs, so let me explain a little bit more in detail.
The follow-mode is at first glance just viewing the document in two (or more)
windows but there
are differences. Basically, the view of the dodument in the two windows are connected,
so that if you
scroll, all windows are scrolled simultaneously. Similarly, if you keep moving the
cursor downwards
(with the down-arrow key), the cursor will jump to the top of the next window when it
comes to the
end of the first window...
If that sounds complicated, here's an example:
Assume that you have a document that consists of a lots of rows, that only contains
the numbers:
1
2
3
...
and so on.
Then a screen with three windows in follow mode (each having 5 lines) would look as
illustrated
below, where ('C' represents the cursor) and the "virtual window" starts with line 3
and ends with
line 17.
The LyX window =
# #
# -- View 1 -- -- View 2 ---- View 3 -- ... #
# | 3| | 8 || 13| #
# | 4| | 9 || 14| #
# | 5| | 10|| 15| #
# | 6 C | | 11|| 16| #
# | 7| | 12|| 17| #
# -- #
# #
#
Now pressing arrow down twice will move the cursor as follows:
Window 1 Window 2 Window 3
-- -----...
| 3 | | 8 C|| 13 |
| 4 | | 9 || 14 |
| 5 | | 10 || 15 |
| 6 | | 11 || 16 |
| 7 | | 12 || 17 |
-- -----
Now pressing page down would produce the following result
Window 1 Window 2 Window 3
-- -----...
| 18 | | 23 C || 28 |
| 19 | | 24 || 29 |
| 20 | | 25 || 30 |
| 21 | | 26 || 31 |
| 22 | | 27 || 32 |
-- -----
I hope this explains what function I'd like. The main advantage is of course that with
three windows,
you get to see and work with three times as many rows on one screen. I suggest you try
this in Emacs,
if it sounds interesting.

bibliography ,footnote,date: ok. Some further aid , if possible, please:spellchecker, export to Latex and a curiosity
Hello,
I try your hints, and this is the outcome:
A) your hints about deleting the date works perfectly.
B) your hints about {} works: also on my keyboard AltGr+7 and AltGr+0 .
before I tried to use Alt+123 and Alt+125, but such command did not work
with LyX.
C) Bibliography
I used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works. In detail, in the
preamble:
\renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}}
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}
D)footnote:
I used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works:
\renewcommand\@makefhmark{\relax}.
However, I have to put the note not in the author environment, but at the
beginning of the standard environment. But I guess it really does not
matter,
because no label is visible.
Other questions:
1) I would use the spellcheker for my English documents, but also for the
Italian ones, if it is possible. But the edit->spellchecker command does not
works. A Warning is shown to me. Something similar to:" Perhaps you do not
have a dictionary file for the language of this document installed. Check
/usr/lib/ispell (I use GNU/Linux Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.4.?)" In such a
directory I find only to files "italiano.aff" and "italiano.hash" and some
links to them. What can I do? Where can I find/download the required files
(if the problem is really this)?
2) I have then to export my document in LateX format on a "PC IBM formatted
" floppy. Is it absolutely sure and safe this export operation from Lyx to
LateX, as I suppose, or may I have some conversion problem between the two
format Lyx and LateX? In fact I must submit only latex document. A
curiosity: but then the people to whom it is addressed what kind of tool
will probably use to read it? Can they read such exported file both in
windows and in GNU/Linux or other S.O. Unix-like?

If that works, you can be 100% sure that the export works. Generally there shouldn't be any problem, because each time you select "View PS" LyX actually exports the document to TeX and runs LaTeX automatically. >curiosity: but then the people to whom it is addressed what kind of tool >will probably use to read it?

If I understand correctly, what you need to do is to add
\usepackage{natbib}
to the preamble, and use plainnat as the bibliography style.
The other solutions given to you were wrong.

The first option there (to write \date{}) is the correct one.
Note the help page doesn't tell you where to put it.
You either need to put it in the preamble, or put it inside the document in
LaTeX mode, before the title.
The second option (to put ctrl+space in the date style) is wrong because it
will put too much space between the title and the body of the document.

Well, this is probably the best advice for beginners, but it
introduce huge gap between title and body of text. The better
advice is to look in the article.cls (or scrartcl.cls, or
something else -- the class of document you use), find definition
of \maketitle, and then redefine it without date. It is not so
bad as you would expect it to be. For example for scrartcl
('article [Koma-Script]' in Layout/Document dialog box), the new
command to be add to Layout/LaTeX preamble is just:
\def\@maketitle{%
\clearpage
\let\footnote\thanks
\begin{center}%
{\sectfont\huge \@title \par}%
\end{center}%
\par
\vskip 2em}
(you may reconsider what kind of size you want for the title --
default \huge is probably inappropriate for just simple document;
either delete \huge at all, or use something smaller like \large)
Happy LyXing!

where is the sense when \date{} in preamble does nearly the
same??

Read the pdftex manual. This was suggested to me by a friend a few days ago to solve a different problem and I installed the latest version, so this isn't it. It seems to be exclusively a problem with Internet Explorer on Intel(several different versions tried.) Netscape+Acrobat on Windows, just Acrobat, IE+Acrobat on MacOS, etc all work fine, but IE+Acrobat just doesn't work. IE spins its wheels and goes postal taking up 100% of the cpu and just sitting there doing nothing. It has been tried on Win2k SP2 and XP; versions 5, 5.5, 5.5-service-pack-whatever, and 6.0. I have a random-redirect script set up now, so people are free to look at: http://frank.mercea.net/cgi-bin/random_bose.cgi (please note that the comment about not getting any responses from the lyx-users list is now obviously false :-) I'll have that comment fixed shortly.)

On that page it is also suggested to in the preamble:

However, I have not yet try it.
So I am going to try both what you advise and the aforementioned (B), even
if what I have got, (A), it seems to me working fine.

Problem with tables in new version of Lyx
Hi everyone, I have some strange problems with my master thesis. It's written in Lyx under RedHat, but i dont remeber exactly which version and fix it was (think it was 1.1.5). The header of the lyx file says: --SNIPP--- #LyX 1.1 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat 218 --Stop--- Ok, fine. So now I'm gonna finsish the report at last. So i installed the newest version of Lyx, 1.1.6fix4, under Suse 7.2. But when I try to open the file it says "tables < 5 not supported anymore" or something like that. It also advices me to use an older (before 1.1.x) version of Lyx to do a conversion. So i try that. But when i open the document in 1.0.4 the table is all messed up. It looks like latex but it is not in red. Can anyone please help me with this problem? Regards Anders _ Hitta snörapporter... från 500 olika skidorter i Europa på http://se.snow.yahoo.com
