Environment menu stops working
Hello, new user here. I searched the archive to reasonable depth about this problem but couldn't find anything. I just installed LyX under Gentoo 2004.2 . The installation went OK but as I started to try it out a problem occurs. After clicking on the "down arrow"-icon (which you do to select enviroments) twice it stops working, i.e. I don't get the menu to change environment. What I mean by twice is I click on the icon once so the menu shows up and then again to get rid of the menu. The problem seems to occur only then and not when I click once and then actually chose an item from the menu. If I click on various parts of the document after the error occurs, the current enviroment is shown there (e.g. Standard or Section) as it should and everything else works. The "down arrow" icon gets marked with a rectangle when I click on it but the menu just refuses to show up. The only solution I have found at this stage is to restart LyX. To avoid the problem from the beginning it seems I must select an item from the menu every time, i.e. I don't have the luxary of changing my mind. This is annoying. R List

There is a "File->Export->Custom", that is intended as a quick & dirty way of just pipeing the latex file to some custom command. The edit->preferences way may be advisable if you want to do it frequently. Regards, Alfredo

Any clue ? You can point to a .bst file when inserting a bibliography [I mean the dialog which opens when you insert it; Listen und Inhaltsverz. -> BibTeX-Referenz>]. There is a "style" field at the bottom of the Popup where you can type in a name of a .bst file or browse for one. HTH, Dominik.-

How do I make this work? Willem, I have experienced the same problem and I remember other people complaining here about the same thing. There is a workaround: start again the spell-checker. If this does not work, change the position of the cursor and start again the spell-checking process. Regards, Paul
aspell is not working - help
When initiating a spell check I get the following pop-up: "The spell-checker has failed. Could not communicate with spell-checker." The versions I am using: lyx 1.3.4 aspell 0.50.5 Both work fine individually. Is this due to a change in the interface in aspell? How do I make this work? cheers, Willem -- Healthy people don't lie.

Then what will you call to that time when I tried to do the same for lyx instead of latex? ;-) Why doesn't lyx behaves lyx any other format?

By the way, how to put a button THe interface is a little convoluted. Select the converter on the list, then modify the "Converter" field or whatever, then push the "modify" button. (for some reason, the first element on the list is selected, disregard that). Repeat for each converter you want to modify. Then push the button "Save" on the bottom.

You have to manually modify a couple of config files: the ui file and the bind file mentioned in preferences->look & feel->User interface. Typically you make a local copy of them (preferably inside .lyx/ui & .lyx/bind) and modify at pleasure. Have a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts for keybindings. > Thanks! You're welcome. PS: please write to the list instead of me directly. Regards, Alfredo
