Re: strange text alignment in tables
christiaan pauw wrote: Hi all I am writhing a questionnaire in Lyx 1.4.1 on Win XP. The whole thing is one gigantic table. I experience very strange effects with the alignment of text both vertically and horizontally 1. Text in adjacent columns are not aligned even when both are set at the same vertical alignment. This happens not only but especially when a ctr-enter was used. 2. Multicolunm the cells above and below to disregard their column width settings 3. Horizontal alignment is not the same for rows either. Sometimes the text begins with an indent, sometimes not 4. Setting the column with sometimes does not set the width of the column but the width of the text within . this is the case in multicolumns. The problem is that there is no control over the width of a column when one cell is also part of a multicolumn Can anyone help regards Christiaan . It might be best if you posted a minimal example of the problem. /Paul

Hyphenation depends on formatting?
Hello, there is a strange situation with hyphenation that seems to depend on my current formatting. The line I wrote is --- Resulting genotype YRM5: natNT2::PADH-DON1-3mCherry::kanMX6, PADH-meGFP::URA3 --- where "PADH" both times is written with ADH as subscript, therefore these 3 letters are in a math box. When the text is written in upright characters, all is fine. Due to nomenclature rules the text has to be italic -- and now the hyphenation does not work and the line does not break. Can anybody please tell me why this is and how to cope with the situation? Thanks in advance! Cz. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Re: Numbered vs. Unnumbered Sectioning

I know > this is a LaTeX action, but I'm wondering why it's this way. I guess that is by design. :-) The start sections are to be used when you want to give emphasis to some part of your document but do not want it to show in TOC. Notice that koma class of layouts as a style called addchap, addsect and addpart that act as start section but show in TOC. >I can see unnumbered sections in the frontmatter of a book or report, > but to not have headers with the sectioning titles? And articles -- at > least in the science fields in which I am most familiar -- have sections, > but they're not numbered. Yet the running heads reflect the page's section. You can use Document->Settings->Numbering and TOC to control this. You can use sections (and derived) without a number. By default only paragraph and subparagraph (level 4 and 5) are not numbered. You can easily change that there. Try it. :-) > Just curious, > > Rich -- José Abílio

Perhaps, it would be better to compile LyX with the qt option instead, but anyway the crucial problem is caused by the fact that you do not have the proper fonts installed.
