If you want all your tables to be \begin{tabular}[b], then
put the following in the preamble:
\let\oldtabular=\tabular
\renewcommand{\tabular}{\oldtabular[b]}
If you want it for only one table, put
{\let\oldtabular=\tabular
\renewcommand{\tabular}{\oldtabular[b]}
before the table, and
}
after the table.
How can I do \begin{tabular}[b]{...}
Hi, I'm using LyX 1.3.3.
Is there a way to do \begin{tabular}[b]{...}? The problem is how to "pass"
the [b] to the tabular layout. Is it possible to do this without writing the whole
table
as an ERT?
Thanks,

[correction] Help: "Page styles" won't output page number ONE [lyx ver 1.2.3]
It would appear that on Mar 12, Joe(theWordy)Philbrook did say: > Subject: Help:None of the "Page styles" output page numbers? [lyx ver 1.2.3] But I've since noticed that it only declines to include the page number for page one. Additional pages do actually get the page number... My apology's for wasting peoples time with misinformation. I guess I wasn't observant enough when I looked for the page number in the pdf viewer... There wasn't much text on page 2 and I guess I didn't scroll down far enough... Sorry! Also this seams to be related to the letter.lyx template in some way. Because, if I simply start a new blank document and set: Layout|Document|(document tab)Class|Letter and paste in a large volume of standard paragraph environment text the output pdf will be numbered right from page 1 on. But if I create a letter using the template, the first page to get the page number is page 2. I do think page 1 should also get a number, but as long as the rest of the pages do, then I guess it's not that important. Sorry for the confusion. -- | |^^^ ^^^ | Joe (theWordy) Philbrook |^J(tWdy)P | ___<<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> | | But if I actually knew everything, then I'd know I was an idiot...
help in controlling heads
My system: Linux RedHat 9, LyX 1.3.4 (with change bar patch - yay!)* Using book document class with standard defaults Hi: I'm back with more newbie questions. (Many thanks for the help with change bars and manual covers, especially to Guy Hindell for sharing what he's done with his documentation set.) This list is a lifesaver. Thanks in advance. I want to accomplish the following in my technical manuals (under deadline of course): - make the running heads upper and lowercase (not all uppercase) and sans serif font. [remove \MakeUppercase from the book.cls file?] - make the chapter heads sans serif font (leave the body font as is) [I'm not sure how or where to do this.] - extend the length of the page (I'm outputting to 8.5 x 11 paper) so I want to make the bottom margin smaller. [How do I do this for the whole file? ] I've modified the book.cls file in my local .lyx directory (deleting \MakeUppercase) and done an Edit-->Reconfigure. The changes are not showing up. Are these the files I need to change? Do I want to move them? I haven't figured out where to set the chapter font yet. Is it in my local book.cls file? I know these are fairly simple fixes, but I don't have time to delve into the files at this point, so I'm asking you for help. When I have time, I want to carefully modify the book.layout and book.cls files.(Thank you Guy for your excellent example files.) Because of this deadline, I'm looking for the quick work around to solve these problems. Ideas? * P.S. As soon as this release is out (1-2 weeks), I'll post the RPMs for the LyX 1.3.4 patch for RedHat 9. It seems to be working great!

It's a standard LaTeX package which *should* be in your distrib.
The right place to fetch packages is CTAN (http://www.ctan.org),
but you should not need it, check rather for a recent (La)TeX distrib
if yours is outdated.
Moreover, the letter class (like the article class) does not
put a page number on the first page, but further pages bear a number.
If you really need a number on page 1, look for alternate letter classes
or insert in ERT \thispagestyle{plain} at the beginning of the document.

Re: Help:None of the "Page styles" output page numbers? [lyx ver 1.2.3]
I've got an additional question about "fancyhdr package". Where can I get it? I tried a google search and found some sites that try to explain how to use it. Some of them are explicit enough that even I might be able to figure out how to use it, if I can get it. But I can't seam to find anyplace that actually has an "fancyhdr package download link".

Re: Pagenumbering in TOC
Insert the following to the preamble:
\let\MyTOC\tableofcontents
\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{
\pagestyle{empty}
\MyTOC
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\pagestyle{plain}}
Correct the line
\pagestyle{plain}
to the option you used in your document layout, e.g. to headings or fancy.
I inserted these lines and corrected \pagestyle to empty. The first page
of the TOC still gets numbered. What do I do wrong?
Sorry, seems that you misunderstand me. You have to set the pagestyle to
a style that prints numbers. OK insert the preamble stuff I send you
without changes and set the document layout pagestyle to 'empty'.
If you have some text before the document, so that the TOC does not
begin at a new page, insert the following preable stuff instead of the
one I send:
\clearpage
\let\MyTOC\tableofcontents
\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{
\clearpage
\pagestyle{empty}
\MyTOC
\clearpage

Title and author in preamble
Hello again, My LaTeX class happens to require that the \title and \author appear in the preamble, so that the class can issue its own \maketitle or a similar macro during its \AtBeginDocument. Setting the wisdom of such a design choice aside, this leaves my .layout efforts in a state where the user must fill in their \title and \author info in Layout | Document | Preamble, and thus the title won't appear in the main LyX document at all (though of course it will show up in the Views). I'm guessing that I'll have to redesign the class to allow \title, \author and \maketitle in the document, if I want to be able to see them in LyX. Am I right, or is there some way to handle this situation with the .layout file? Thanks, mary [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sffms.ficml.org/
Help:None of the "Page styles" output page numbers? [lyx ver 1.2.3]
Fri Mar 12 11:33:43 UTC 2004 Hello, I'm a very new user. (I'm not even finished with Tutorial.lyx yet) The docs warned me that lyx takes a bit to get used to. But I'm already starting to like the WYSIWYM concept. At least I will once most of the keybindings become familiar enough. But I'm having a problem with the lyx ver 1.2.3 that came with my Mandrake Linux 9.1 distribution. I Followed the advice of the Tutorial [section 3.2] to experiment with the "Letter" textclass by writing a letter to someone. Since I had a letter to write, I just waded in... After a bit of writing I viewed the output and noticed a lack of page numbers. So I searched for "page number" in the User guide and tried: Layout|Document|(document tab)Page style|Plain Then when I still didn't get any page numbers in the output dvi or pdf file I tried: Layout|Document|(document tab)Page style|Headings Still no page numbers... Then even though the user guide said > Fancy This allows you to create fully customizable headers and footers >if you have the fancyhdr package installed. At the moment, support >in LyX is limited to this setting. To use the full power of this >package, you have to resolve to magic codes in your preamble. >Check the documentation for the fancyhdr package for more details. And I don't think I've got the fancyhdr package installed, I also tried: Layout|Document|(document tab)Page style|Fancy With the predictable result of no change in the output. I may need to find and install the fancyhdr package to get the use of the Fancy page style, but shouldn't I at least be able to get page numbers without it??? What am I doing wrong? Any/all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- ? ? -=- -=-I'm NOT clueless... But I just don't know. ^ Joe (theWordy) Philbrook ---J(tWdy)P ? ?

Re: Pagenumbering in TOC
I recently tried out the tips to avoid pagenumbering in the TOC at:
http://latex.s-v-p.de/tocloft/TOC.phtml#pageNr
I tried the first tip with protect. The second page got numbered. Then I
tried the tip with the LaTeX-Preamble. The third page got numbered. I
have only three pages of TOC. How can reach my goal, not to have
pagenumbers at all in my TOC?
Insert the following to the preamble:
\let\MyTOC\tableofcontents
\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{
\pagestyle{empty}
\MyTOC
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\pagestyle{plain}}
The next page after the TOC would be numbered as page 1.
If you want to have the next page to be numbered as page 4, delete the line
\pagenumbering{arabic}
Correct the line
\pagestyle{plain}
to the option you used in your document layout, e.g. to headings or fancy.

Re: Ruurd's win32 Lyx Port - View dvi??
thanks for the reply. I have deleted additional converters and stick to the list you have given in the mailing list archive. But one more problem... can you please tell me the Converter and Extra Flag for all the converters (because I think I have totally screwed up the converters). For example, From Latex--> DVI (I put yap but it's not working) From Latex--> pdflatex From Latex--> PDF and etc. You needn't to correct this manually. Just go into the Windows-folder "documents and settings" where all user-specific setttings are saved. Here you delete the folder '.lyx' (For all users of your system)(LyX must be closed). After that restart LyX and reconfigure it. LyX creates a new .lyx folder and you have the original configuration. If this doesn't work, mail me again. regards Uwe
