Anyhow, I use, in fact, the recent release of the compiler, gcc 3.3.1-16. I upgraded already. That should have done it, even if the version of the compiler is responsible on how the installed program works :-(( What about the developers? The shown error looks like an not so difficult to fix one - or at least to understand it. I am not a developer. By the way: It is the only fault, I found. I think, we should give somebody else a try whether it works or not. Micha-E.
Re: Very simple question (!)
To center all figures in a document, Herbert has previously suggested
using in the preamble;
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\centering
}{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
\makeatother
(http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/LaTeX/floats/floats.phtml#center)
However, I have not been able to get it to work successfully - the
figures do not move at all. What could I be doing wrong?
Regards,
Paul

Re: VERY SIMPLE QUESTION (!)
John, You are perhaps too familiar with it. I can see how a new user would have problems understanding. The exact procedure I use is: 1. Insert > Floats > Figure. 2. With the cursor at "Figure#" press Enter. The cursor is now inside the red outline of the float, on the line above "Figure#". 3. Layout > Paragraph and select Center in the Alignment box. Press OK. 4. Insert > Graphics.

In the minibuffer (the bar at the bottom of the screen) type
accent-umlaut e
You can bind this to a short cut key. Search wiki.lyx.org.

Just type it directly in...
You may need to set up a compose key in X (search the net for how: you
may need to assign a key to mean "Compose" by using xmodmap)

Don't yell. :-) In the float, place the cursor in front of the image or table and on the menu select Layout -> Paragraph. Change the alignment from Justified to Center. I asked this question a few weeks ago and learned that while the default behavior in LyX used to be centered figures, that was not in accordance with the LaTeX standard. So, now we do it manually.

Re: TOC problems
Hi
Can help with some of this.
After inserting the toc try these erts:
\renewcommand\thepage{\arabic{page}}
\setcounter{page}{4}
So far I've only managed to alter which pages are numbered in the class file
I'm using.
As for underlining in the toc, no idea I'm afraid.
Hope this helps
