keyboard shortcut for document menu
I'm working with several smallish documents that cross-reference each other and are included in one large document. I tend to jump around between the documents as I think of things to add or references to make, but I'm hampered by needing to take my hands off the keyboard to do so. I've looked in the Customization help file, but I can't see a shortcut for switching between documents, nor can I see a way to define a keybinding for this. What function name would I use? I looked in lyx's share/ui/default.ui and there aren't any function names listed.
AW: Lyx-1.2.1 with SuSE-8.1
Hi, i think the main problem is that SuSE has different names for the rpm packages than Red Hat has. So ensure that you have a running tex/latex environment and then run: rpm -ivh --upgrade --nodeps *.rpm If this doesn't help you can add the option --force Bye Joe -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Michael Abshoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5.

Re: QT compile problems.
Thanks John... QTDIR is pointing to the 3.0.4 version, which is logical, because its the latest. But LyX internally has quite a few hardwired links to the qt2 directories. I now defined QTDIR to point to 2.3.1, reconfigured (deleted config.log first), and in the final link, LyX still tries to access the 3.0.4 directory...

use fancy headers, you can define them separate for fancy and plain style.
\fancypagestyle{plain}{

and some other stuff, this is just a hint to get started.

pdf won't open on other platform
I have creaed a latex file and converted it to PDF, and it won't open on a friend's machine. In my preamble I have \usepackage mathptmx In order to run the conversion, I simply exported the document using the file-export-PDF option. I have a linux box, and I can open the resulting PDF file with both xpdf and acroread. In addtion, I mailed to the file across my apartment to my girfriend's Macintosh, and the PDF file opens perfectly with Acrobat 5. The file looks beautiful. However, my friend has a Windows box, and he reports this error: Adobe Acrobat 5.0 tells me that it cannot open it and that the root object is missing or invalid. I tried exporting the document as latex and running dvips -Ppdf -o outfile.ps infile.dvi ps2pdf outfile.ps Again, this produced a perfectly working version for both my linux box and for the Macintosh, but it would not open on the Windows machine. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks Paul -- *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]*

Hi.. I was just trying to do this yesterday on some slides actually..
and this is what worked for me - right before your Bibliography inset,
insert ERT and put {\large and right after the inset, insert another ERT
box and put } in there... so it'll look like:
ERT: {\large
BibInset
ERT: }
You might want to change the large to get the correct font size. I'm not

I don't have access to the Windows machine. I have sent the file out to
people in our group. Two different people cannot open the file.
I did forget to mention that I used Adobe Avant Garde font for my title.
Avant Garde is a Postscript type 1 font. I would thing that at most
this would render the title in an ugly font.
I also tried pdflatex. When I sent this to my friend, he said that Adobe
Acrobat Reader opened, but he saw only a blank screen.
I have just done a search on the web and found that no one else has had
this problem, or at least that I could find.
I will try using \usepackage{times}. I will also get rid of the special
font for the title, and then see if he can open up that.
Thanks

Do you mean that you used the package pslatex ( \usepackage{pslatex})?
I thought this package was deprecated? (Which I guess doesn't matter for

What is an ERT ?
if you don't select the fancy header in the layout-document window, lyx doesn't

/usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/include/qt.h

How do you expect us to guess which one you want then ?
Ok. I forgot to mention there's a symlink (qt) in the same place that
points to one of both.
FRONTEND_LDFLAGS=\$(QT_LDFLAGS)
FRONTEND_INCLUDES=-I\${srcdir}/qt2 \$(QT_INCLUDES)
This is src/frontends/qt2/ in the LyX source.
All the variables are set at configure time.
Ok - but even when LyX detects 3.0.4, the qt2 bits of above _are_ included.
Is that correct?
You still haven't posted the relevant bits from config.log either ...

use fancy headers, you can define them separate for fancy and plain style.

pdf won't open on other platform
I have creaed a latex file and converted it to PDF, and it won't open on a friend's machine.

I have a linux box, and I can open the resulting PDF file with both xpdf and acroread. In addtion, I mailed to the file across my apartment to my girfriend's Macintosh, and the PDF file opens perfectly with Acrobat 5. The file looks beautiful. However, my friend has a Windows box, and he reports this error: Adobe Acrobat 5.0 tells me that it cannot open it and that the root object is missing or invalid. I tried exporting the document as latex and running dvips -Ppdf -o outfile.ps infile.dvi ps2pdf outfile.ps Again, this produced a perfectly working version for both my linux box and for the Macintosh, but it would not open on the Windows machine. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks Paul -- *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]*

insert ERT and put {\large and right after the inset, insert another ERT

I don't have access to the Windows machine. I have sent the file out to

I did forget to mention that I used Adobe Avant Garde font for my title.
Avant Garde is a Postscript type 1 font. I would thing that at most
this would render the title in an ugly font.
I also tried pdflatex. When I sent this to my friend, he said that Adobe
Acrobat Reader opened, but he saw only a blank screen.
I have just done a search on the web and found that no one else has had
this problem, or at least that I could find.
I will try using \usepackage{times}. I will also get rid of the special
font for the title, and then see if he can open up that.

if you don't select the fancy header in the layout-document window, lyx doesn't

This is src/frontends/qt2/ in the LyX source.
All the variables are set at configure time.

Is that correct?
You still haven't posted the relevant bits from config.log either ...

keyboard shortcut for document menu
I'm working with several smallish documents that cross-reference each other and are included in one large document.

install latex
hi, i'm a newbie in latex, could some one tell me how to install and configure latex? Thank you very mutch
Re: QT compile problems.
Thanks John... QTDIR is pointing to the 3.0.4 version, which is logical, because its the latest. But LyX internally has quite a few hardwired links to the qt2 directories. I now defined QTDIR to point to 2.3.1, reconfigured (deleted config.log first), and in the final link, LyX still tries to access the 3.0.4 directory... I did a make clean, and then I get these errors: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../src -I../../../../src/frontends -I../../../../src/frontends/qt2 -I./qt2 -I/usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/include -I../../../../boost -I../../../../src/frontends/controllers -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_GENUINE_STR -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -g -O -Wno-non-template-friend -ftemplate-depth-30 -W -Wall -c QAboutDialogBase.C -Wp,-MD,.deps/QAboutDialogBase.TPlo QAboutDialogBase.C: In method `QAboutDialogBase::QAboutDialogBase(QWidget * = 0, const char * = 0, bool = FALSE, unsigned int = 0)': QAboutDialogBase.C:36: implicit declaration of function `int trUtf8(...)'

Changing font size on reference pages?

pdf won't open on other platform
I have creaed a latex file and converted it to PDF, and it won't open on a friend's machine. In my preamble I have \usepackage mathptmx In order to run the conversion, I simply exported the document using the file->export->PDF option. I have a linux box, and I can open the resulting PDF file with both xpdf and acroread. In addtion, I mailed to the file across my apartment to my girfriend's Macintosh, and the PDF file opens perfectly with Acrobat 5. The file looks beautiful. However, my friend has a Windows box, and he reports this error: Adobe Acrobat 5.0 tells me that it cannot open it and that the "root object is missing or invalid." I tried exporting the document as latex and running dvips -Ppdf -o outfile.ps infile.dvi ps2pdf outfile.ps Again, this produced a perfectly working version for both my linux box and for the Macintosh, but it would not open on the Windows machine. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks Paul -- *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]*

Hi.. I was just trying to do this yesterday on some slides actually..
and this is what worked for me - right before your Bibliography inset,
insert ERT and put {\large and right after the inset, insert another ERT
box and put } in there... so it'll look like:
ERT: {\large
BibInset
ERT: }
You might want to change the large to get the correct font size. I'm not
sure what large corresponds to in terms of pt.

Both 3.0.4 and 2.3.1 are under /usr/lib.
Why, if no qt isn't hardcoded, is this in configure.ac:
qt)
QT_DO_IT_ALL
FRONTEND="qt2"
FRONTEND_GUILIB="qt2/*.lo qt2/ui/*.lo qt2/moc/*.lo qt2/ui/moc/*.lo"
FRONTEND_LDFLAGS="\$(QT_LDFLAGS)"
FRONTEND_INCLUDES="-I\${srcdir}/qt2 \$(QT_INCLUDES)"
FRONTEND_LIBS="\$(QT_LIB)"
FRONTEND_INFO="Qt version: ${QT_VERSION}\n"
This always gets activated - even if $QTDIR is pointing to 3.0.4, and
if LyX correctly detects this version of Qt? (of course not the .ac,
but the actual configure and makefiles do use these options)
Sorry if I'm wrong - I'm surely no software guru...

I don't have access to the Windows machine. I have sent the file out to
people in our group. Two different people cannot open the file.
I did forget to mention that I used Adobe Avant Garde font for my title.
Avant Garde is a Postscript type 1 font. I would thing that at most
this would render the title in an ugly font.
I also tried pdflatex. When I sent this to my friend, he said that Adobe
Acrobat Reader opened, but he saw only a blank screen.
I have just done a search on the web and found that no one else has had
this problem, or at least that I could find.
I will try using \usepackage{times}. I will also get rid of the special
font for the title, and then see if he can open up that.
Thanks
Paul

Do you mean that you used the package pslatex ( \usepackage{pslatex})?
I thought this package was deprecated? (Which I guess doesn't matter for
now, if it works!) I am just curios so I can try this myself.

These qt2 bits are references into the LyX source, not your system...

...is the qt frontend even usable with qt3?

Yes (in fact it works a little bit better)

What is an "ERT" ?

I put
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
in the preamble ...
to no avail.

This seems a little strange. My PDF files open perfectly on my linux box, and on my girfriends' Macintosh, which uses Acrobat Reader 5. My friends with Acrobat Reader 5 cannot open the same file.

Hi John.
I didn't notice the first time around this reply was turned down

Sorry.. But that's really _it_:
/usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/include/qt.h
/usr/lib/qt-3.0.4/include/qt.h
Don't ask me WHY. This is a Slackware Distro, and it's installed
that way.

Ok. I forgot to mention there's a symlink (qt) in the same place that
points to one of both.

Ok - but even when LyX detects 3.0.4, the qt2 bits of above _are_ included.
Is that correct?
