French usage in beamer
Hi
If I insert an example environment in a french beamer document, I get
example instead of exemple. I checked the latex file: frenchb is
passed as an option to beamer, babel is also used. I also tried to
insert in the preamble \usepackage[french]{beamer} but no way to obtain
the french word.
If I modify the beamer.layout file, I guess it changes only the word in
the lyx window, right ?
How can I obtain the french word ?

Keyboard switching between documents?
Hi, I have a question on keyboard bindings and .bind files When working on multiple documents at once, it's nice to be able to switch between documents (buffers) fast. I have tried a bit to add this feature to my personal .bind file, but without success so far. Q: Is it possible to make a .bind file for keyboard switching between open documents/buffers? * Either, binding C-M-Left to next buffer and C-M-Right to previous buffer. * Or, an alternative, binding C-M-1 to buffer nr 1 and C-M-2 to buffer nr 2 and C-M-3 to buffer nr 3 etc. I know there is a function buffer-switch, but it has to get the full filename as argument. And I know that it is possible to use bookmarks, but then I have to save the bookmark everytime I leave the buffer. regards, Peter --- --- Peter Ljunglöf PhD student, Göteborg University -- --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~peb ---

Printing problem
I've just migrated over to linux and no have to write a PhD thesis! LyX has been recomended to me, and having used it for a couple of documents, I think I am convinced. BUT I have one real problem; I can't get it to print. I'm able to print to a .ps file, which I can then print out with an 'lpr'. I can also export a .dvi that I can print with the 'dvips' command. I can't print straight from lyx. The help pages in the lyx version I've got aren't the most helpful (along the lines of 'well printing should be ok, and anyway, this is a lyx help, not a printing manual!'), and as everything seems to work independantly I'm inclined to think lyx isn't telling dvips/lpr the right things...

Re: Printing problem
Perhaps a bit more definition of the problem. When you do File...Print with a destination of Printer, does it act as though it was normal? Is there any printer name in destination, or do you have this blank with the expectation the print will go to the default printer for your machine? Do you have the targeted printer defined as your default printer? The destination default can be checked in System Tools, Print Manager from the desktop (assuming gnome) or printconf. When you look at LyX Edit-Preferences... Outputs, Printer, is the printer command dvips? Do the command options look correct as far as comparing them to your line command that works? david wolfson wrote: I've just migrated over to linux and no have to write a PhD thesis!

Newbie Questions
Hi everyone. I'm new to using LyX (and still new to using linux in general) and I have a few questions. I want to use LyX to setup the formatting for a text book I want to self publish. It will have some sections and chapters, I have been looking at the tips and tricks section on the main lyx site, but I still have a few questions that I couldn't find there. I want the book to be arranged as such: Introductions Chapter A Chapter B Theory Chapter C Design Section 1 Chapter D Chapter E Section 2 Chapter F Chapter G I think I would use some arrangement like Part, Chapter, Section, but I don't want the extra numbers (such as 1.1.1 subsection, or Chapter 1- Chapter title), I would like to just have the names of each section. How would I do this? Also, LyX is hyphenating my text when it reaches the margins. How do I disable this feature? I would rather have text not hyphenated. Thanks for the help! -Noel

Keyboard switching between documents?
Hi, I have a question on keyboard bindings and .bind files When working on multiple documents at once, it's nice to be able to switch between documents (buffers) fast. I have tried a bit to add this feature to my personal .bind file, but without success so far. Q: Is it possible to make a .bind file for keyboard switching between open documents/buffers? * Either, binding C-M-Left to next buffer and C-M-Right to previous buffer. * Or, an alternative, binding C-M-1 to buffer nr 1 and C-M-2 to buffer nr 2 and C-M-3 to buffer nr 3 etc. I know there is a function buffer-switch, but it has to get the full filename as argument. And I know that it is possible to use bookmarks, but then I have to save the bookmark everytime I leave the buffer. regards, Peter --- --- Peter Ljunglöf PhD student, Göteborg University -- --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~peb ---

Printing problem
I've just migrated over to linux and no have to write a PhD thesis! LyX has been recomended to me, and having used it for a couple of documents, I think I am convinced. BUT I have one real problem; I can't get it to print. I'm able to print to a .ps file, which I can then print out with an 'lpr'. I can also export a .dvi that I can print with the 'dvips' command. I can't print straight from lyx. The help pages in the lyx version I've got aren't the most helpful (along the lines of 'well printing should be ok, and anyway, this is a lyx help, not a printing manual!'), and as everything seems to work independantly I'm inclined to think lyx isn't telling dvips/lpr the right things...

Re: Printing problem
Perhaps a bit more definition of the problem. When you do File...Print with a destination of Printer, does it act as though it was normal? Is there any printer name in destination, or do you have this blank with the expectation the print will go to the default printer for your machine? Do you have the targeted printer defined as your default printer? The destination default can be checked in System Tools, Print Manager from the desktop (assuming gnome) or printconf. When you look at LyX Edit-Preferences... Outputs, Printer, is the printer command dvips? Do the command options look correct as far as comparing them to your line command that works? david wolfson wrote: I've just migrated over to linux and no have to write a PhD thesis!

lyx and tables
Hi, I'd like to know if ti's possible to import a table into lyx (as a table), or to transform a text to a table. I found no way to do that. Thank you François

Sorry, Jean-Pierre, but I think that we're talking at cross purposes. I interpreted your original mail as saying that the dvi file showed your guillemets as ¡¡quoted¿¿.

Sure. ftp is just a 'File Transfer Protocol', nothing more. If you put the file at pub/incoming, then that is where it is, not at pub/lyx/bin.

Printing problem
I've just migrated over to linux and no have to write a PhD thesis! LyX has been recomended to me, and having used it for a couple of documents, I think I am convinced. BUT I have one real problem; I can't get it to print. I'm able to print to a .ps file, which I can then print out with an 'lpr'. I can also export a .dvi that I can print with the 'dvips' command. I can't print straight from lyx. The help pages in the lyx version I've got aren't the most helpful (along the lines of 'well printing should be ok, and anyway, this is a lyx help, not a printing manual!'), and as everything seems to work independantly I'm inclined to think lyx isn't telling dvips/lpr the right things... I'm using version 1.3.2 on redhat 9.

Re: Printing problem
Perhaps a bit more definition of the problem. When you do File...Print with a destination of Printer, does it act as though it was normal? Is there any printer name in destination, or do you have this blank with the expectation the print will go to the default printer for your machine? Do you have the targeted printer defined as your default printer? The destination default can be checked in System Tools, Print Manager from the desktop (assuming gnome) or printconf. When you look at LyX Edit->Preferences... Outputs, Printer, is the printer command dvips? Do the command options look correct as far as comparing them to your line command that works? david wolfson wrote: I've just migrated over to linux and no have to write a PhD thesis!

If I insert an example environment in a french beamer document, I get

the french word.
This is a bug, see

If I modify the beamer.layout file, I guess it changes only the word in

Yes, so don't change the .layout file.

This may seem silly, but I've seen this as a problem for some folks in the past. In particular my office mate told me he couldn't ever get LyX to print. I was curious, so I tried it, and *his* LyX printed for *me*. It took us a while to figure out what I was doing that he wasn't... The default option on the print dialog is cancel, not print. If you just hit Enter when the dialog comes up, you cancel the dialog. You have to click on the print button at the bottom.

Due to lyx2lyx (don't you think that there too may xxx2lyx around ;-) there is no problem, lyx will be able to read the resulting code, no matter what version. I have tested csv2lyx, even with 1.4.0cvs, so I can assure you that it works. :-) > The author, I stupidly lost his name and email address, sends me a > version, that works with LyX 1.3.x.

Newbie Questions
Hi everyone. I'm new to using LyX (and still new to using linux in general) and I have a few questions. I want to use LyX to setup the formatting for a text book I want to self publish. It will have some sections and chapters, I have been looking at the tips and tricks section on the main lyx site, but I still have a few questions that I couldn't find there. I want the book to be arranged as such: Introductions Chapter A Chapter B Theory Chapter C Design Section 1 Chapter D Chapter E Section 2 Chapter F Chapter G I think I would use some arrangement like Part, Chapter, Section, but I don't want the extra numbers (such as 1.1.1 subsection, or Chapter 1- Chapter title), I would like to just have the names of each section. How would I do this? Also, LyX is hyphenating my text when it reaches the margins. How do I disable this feature? I would rather have text not hyphenated. Thanks for the help! -Noel

AFAIU, it's more a babel problem than a beamer problem.
Seems logical to insert this in frenchb.cfg,
unless you need to hand over the document to someone else.
Right ?
