  Fixed it. User error -- again. I had set one of each column pairs as
multicolumn. Turning that off let me do it properly.

Paul,

  That's what I tried. I can highlight only one cell, not two cells. I
thought that I should be able to do both, but ... I cannot.

Display of non printable characters (spaces, etc.)

[David Obadia]

Hi all,

I don't know if I am the only one, but my most common mistake is to
forget to put a space after an inline math modes, so my text appears way
to close to my formula.

Is there a way in LyX, to get spaces to show as dots (or anything else)
so that I could prevent that from happening.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks-

Charachter coding in LyX menus and pop-up windows.

[Antonio Magni]

Accents/special charachters don't show in LyX. That is, in the document, 
they show perfectly. My international keyboard (I am using LyX's layout) 
works great too. The output if fabulous (div/ps/pdf).
	But the LyX popup-windows (e.g. Table of Contents or Spell Checker) 
don't. They show wrong charachters. Now, for the Table of Contents, I 
say, Who cares. But for the spell checker it's a problem, because when 
the spell checker wants to replace a word, it doesn't insert the correct 
encoding in the document itself, but just garbage, which it recognizes 
as mispelled. The result being that the Spell Checker can not Correct my 
documents fully (only the words with no accents). If you wish, I can 
include a screenshot.
Now, obviously somewhere along the line there is a problem with 
charachter encoding. It's just that I don't know where to look for. Is 
it the X server? Is it the X Font Server? Is it the LyX code? Am I 
missing some fonts?

Numbering References and Appendices in article class

[Jochen F. Rick]

I'm using the article class and bibtex generated references. My sections 
are numbered, but the references section is not numbered. Is there a way 
to get it numbered?

Also, is there a more elegant way to do appendices in lyx other than 
using ERT (\appendix)?

I tried looking for this on-line or through the help guides and came up 
empty.

Peace and Luck!

Large size PS image - paneling

[John Coppens]

Hello all.

Maybe it's so easy it isn't mentioned, but I could not find a reference
anywhere. And sorry - it is only indirectly LyX related:

Is there any tool to cut a large size PS image into several panels, print
them separately (then glue them together)? Preferably with optional
reference marks added?

I regularly have a large table or tech drawing, which I would like to
include as a fold-out, but my printer is just an A4 printer.

Thanks,
John

Table formating questions

  I have a table with 6 columns. The four right-most columns are two related

box that permits me to join two cells horizontally and center the label in

An observation for the developers

[Rich Shepard]

  When I run the spell check on my book all compressed components (short
titles, footnotes, figures, tables) are opened for examination. When I go
through the document afterward to close them all up again it takes but a
single click with the cursor over the grey box for footnotes, figures and
tables for them to collapse again. However, the first click on the short
title grey box moves the cursor to the head of the embedded text and it
takes a second click to collapse the box.

  Thought I'd pass this on.

I changed the line that started with \renewcommand to \newcommand.
The latex error disappeared but now there is no difference between the

personalized title page. I am probably doing something wrong, but I do
not know what. Any help?

sidewaystable & figure the other way

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I am about to print my thesis and the sideways tables and figures on the 
par-sides are the wrong way, at least for my liking :). The thesis is printed 
in B5 size and in this small size it is most convenient (for a right handed 
reader) to turn the thesis clock-wise to see the sidewaysfigure/table, 
however, the sideways environment turn the bottom line outwards. I have tried 
to read the documentation for sideways environment and as far as I have 
understood you can not change the the rotation. Is this true ? Is there 
another way to turn the figure with the caption ? Or should I just be happy 
that I have gotten my thesis accepted for dissertation ?
