Block Selection of Text
Hi, I started using lyx today and i like the idea (at least in principle) but I have difficulty using the actual program. The reason why I'm writing is this is not to complain or insult you, but in hopes that there is something wrong with my version and that my concerns can be fixed. I'm using the ubuntu gutsy version, which is 1.5.1. Overall, It seems slow, and all of the examples and tutorials refuse to covert to dvi, pdf or ps, with various error messages. It also crashed; I don't remember why, but it didn't have an autorecovery feature which upset me. But the biggest problem I have is that I can't select blocks of text. I can click and drag to select and the text is highlighted in light blue, but about 500 ms after I let up the mouse it magically unselects. This makes it impossible to do things like block select. Is lyx supposed to work like this or is my version defective? Thank you for your time.
I have a problem with language
Marcelo Acuña Fri, 12 Oct 2007 06:17:11 -0700 Hello, When I try to get a solution (before Ignacio's letter) for page numbering in roman instead Roman I changed language from Spanish to American in Document Config Language. I can see that roman problem was solved but now I have several titles like Index and Contents in English instead Spanish, and I lost hyphenation in Spanish. Then I return to Spanish language but American remains. Now I have all text underlined, and I can't compile without errors. I have Spanish in Document Config Language and Preferences but if I see Latex Source I have [american, spanish] in my srcbook. I can't get out American any more (perhaps we have a deep political lesson here ;-) How I can get Spanish only? Regards Marcelo Try to mark all. Then Edit - Text style - Customized... and then set Language to Reset. /Anders

Using \fbox as an environment?
Hi all,
The documented way to use \fbox is like this:
\fbox{this is my text}
I'd like to do something like this:
\begin{fbox}this is my text\end{fbox}
However, doing that draws a tiny box around the first character. Anyone know a
way to turn \fbox into an environment, or an environment equivalent for
\fbox, or a way to put a border around a minipage?
Thanks

1.5.2 error
Dear users,
I am on Ubuntu 7 and I have installed LyX 1.5.2. When I tried to view
the DVI of a book I prepared with LyX 1.5.1, I get an error about the
following command in the preamble:
\renewcommand{\thethm}{\thechapter.\arabic{thm}}
In particular it says that it does not understand \thethm for changing
the theorem numbering.
Then I installed back LyX 1.5.1 and everything was compiled correctly.
I just wanted to remark this strange behaviour.
Thanks

Dear Sir or Madam, I have a problem about Lyx for Windows 1.4.4.

Re: configure default paragraph alignment
Excuse me Richard, You said that I can change align in Lyx screen? Yes, you can change the way the alignment appears on the screen in LyX by editing the layout files, which you'll find in (e.g.) /usr/share/lyx/layouts/. Copy these to your local LyX directory (e.g., /home/marcelo/.lyx/layouts/) and so as you wish. You may want to change the filename to something else, and change the first line of the layout file, so your changes appear as a new choice in DocumentSettings rather than over-writing an old one.

Drop-down menu problem in double-monitor linux setup
I recently switched from a Mac installation to a Linux box, and, at the same time, from LyX 1.4.x to 1.5.x. I am experiencing the following problem: the drop down menus always open on the same monitor, regardless of where the LyX window is. In my typical setup, that means the menus drop down on the wrong monitor. I had a similar setup on MacOs, and never saw this problem. But as I said, I was on LyX 1.4.x there. Is this a known problem?

LyX 1.5.2.'s fuzzy screen in Mac + wrong path to Aspell
Dear all, I would like your help on two problems: 1. I've read all your feedback about LyX 1.5.2. displaying a fuzzy screen in Macs: This is the result of a bug fix: LyX now uses the Mac standard interface language for its menus and dialogs. I don't know if there's a way of using an alternative interface language. (Jean-Marc?) I guess the way of setting an alternative interface is to change Environment.plist, like the wiki used to say before 1.5.2. JMarc Well, hrrr... could you tell me more about this Environment.plist? where, what and how to change it? Me too, I get the fuzzy image, on Mac PPC, OS X 10.4.10. In the meantime, I'm back to 1.5.1. In any case, congratulations for your work in LyX! (though, I would dismiss that particular bug-fix;) 2. The Spellchecker still prompts this message: The spellchecker could not be started Error: The file /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/english can not be opened for reading. Can you give any clue on how to get rid of this path? Besides in mac, I have user (me)/library ...no local. And aspell has no file in it called as simple as english. Bueno, thank you, in advance!

re: Mac OS X 1.5.2 unable to print
Hello, I am a relatively unskilled latex user, which is why I fell instantly in love with lyx. I am impressed with how easy it is to use, and the WYSI part improves productivity for interactive tasks like formatting an equation or inserting diagrams. However, I was unable to get it to fully work. I followed the instructions on Mac OS X, got the MacTeX-20070829.dmg, installed it. It appears to have installed itself into /Library/TeX When I installed Lyx beforehand, it failed on certain things related to finding TeX, so I re-installed, and everything appeared successful. However, printing is ghosted out, and when I load the document I created with lots of equations, it warns: The layout requested by this document, article.layout is not usable. This is presumably because lyx doesn't know where the TeX stuff is. I got it to work in the first place by adding /Library/TeX/Root/bin to my path. What other environment variables or other configuration should I do, (and I think this should be added to the instructions for the Mac). Just to confirm, I grabbed a tiny latex demo off the net, latex'd it, xdvi'd it, and it works, so clearly MacTeX is working as it should, in my path. thanks!
Block Selection of Text

It also crashed; I don't remember why, but it didn't have an autorecovery feature which upset me. But the biggest problem I have is that I can't select blocks of text. I can click and drag to select and the text is highlighted in light blue, but about 500 ms after I let up the mouse it magically unselects. This makes it impossible to do things like block select. Is lyx supposed to work like this or is my version defective? Thank you for your time.

Using \fbox as an environment?
Hi all,
The documented way to use \fbox is like this:
\fbox{this is my text}
I'd like to do something like this:
\begin{fbox}this is my text\end{fbox}
However, doing that draws a tiny box around the first character. Anyone know a
way to turn \fbox into an environment, or an environment equivalent for
\fbox, or a way to put a border around a minipage?
Thanks

1.5.2 error
Dear users,
I am on Ubuntu 7 and I have installed LyX 1.5.2. When I tried to view
the DVI of a book I prepared with LyX 1.5.1, I get an error about the
following command in the preamble:
\renewcommand{\thethm}{\thechapter.\arabic{thm}}
In particular it says that it does not understand \thethm for changing
the theorem numbering.
Then I installed back LyX 1.5.1 and everything was compiled correctly.
I just wanted to remark this strange behaviour.
Thanks

Dear Sir or Madam, I have a problem about Lyx for Windows 1.4.4.

Re: configure default paragraph alignment

Yes, you can change the way the alignment appears on the screen in LyX by editing the layout files, which you'll find in (e.g.) /usr/share/lyx/layouts/. Copy these to your local LyX directory (e.g., /home/marcelo/.lyx/layouts/) and so as you wish.

Drop-down menu problem in double-monitor linux setup
I recently switched from a Mac installation to a Linux box, and, at the same time, from LyX 1.4.x to 1.5.x. I am experiencing the following problem: the drop down menus always open on the same monitor, regardless of where the LyX window is. In my typical setup, that means the menus drop down on the wrong monitor. I had a similar setup on MacOs, and never saw this problem. But as I said, I was on LyX 1.4.x there. Is this a known problem?

LyX 1.5.2.'s fuzzy screen in Mac + wrong path to Aspell
Dear all, I would like your help on two problems: 1. I've read all your feedback about LyX 1.5.2. displaying a fuzzy screen in Macs: This is the result of a bug fix: LyX now uses the Mac standard interface language for its menus and dialogs. I don't know if there's a way of using an alternative interface language. (Jean-Marc?) I guess the way of setting an alternative interface is to change Environment.plist, like the wiki used to say before 1.5.2. JMarc Well, hrrr... could you tell me more about this Environment.plist? where, what and how to change it? Me too, I get the fuzzy image, on Mac PPC, OS X 10.4.10. In the meantime, I'm back to 1.5.1. In any case, congratulations for your work in LyX! (though, I would dismiss that particular bug-fix;) 2. The Spellchecker still prompts this message: The spellchecker could not be started Error: The file /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/english can not be opened for reading. Can you give any clue on how to get rid of this path? Besides in mac, I have user (me)/library ...no local. And aspell has no file in it called as simple as english. Bueno, thank you, in advance!

re: Mac OS X 1.5.2 unable to print
Hello, I am a relatively unskilled latex user, which is why I fell instantly in love with lyx. I am impressed with how easy it is to use, and the WYSI part improves productivity for interactive tasks like formatting an equation or inserting diagrams. However, I was unable to get it to fully work. I followed the instructions on Mac OS X, got the MacTeX-20070829.dmg, installed it. It appears to have installed itself into /Library/TeX When I installed Lyx beforehand, it failed on certain things related to finding TeX, so I re-installed, and everything appeared successful. However, printing is ghosted out, and when I load the document I created with lots of equations, it warns: The layout requested by this document, article.layout is not usable. This is presumably because lyx doesn't know where the TeX stuff is. I got it to work in the first place by adding /Library/TeX/Root/bin to my path. What other environment variables or other configuration should I do, (and I think this should be added to the instructions for the Mac). Just to confirm, I grabbed a tiny latex demo off the net, latex'd it, xdvi'd it, and it works, so clearly MacTeX is working as it should, in my path. thanks!
Block Selection of Text
Hi, I started using lyx today and i like the idea (at least in principle) but I have difficulty using the actual program. The reason why I'm writing is this is not to complain or insult you, but in hopes that there is something wrong with my version and that my concerns can be fixed. I'm using the ubuntu gutsy version, which is 1.5.1. Overall, It seems slow, and all of the examples and tutorials refuse to covert to dvi, pdf or ps, with various error messages. It also crashed; I don't remember why, but it didn't have an autorecovery feature which upset me. But the biggest problem I have is that I can't select blocks of text. I can click and drag to select and the text is highlighted in light blue, but about 500 ms after I let up the mouse it magically unselects. This makes it impossible to do things like block select. Is lyx supposed to work like this or is my version defective? Thank you for your time.

Using \fbox as an environment?
Hi all,
The documented way to use \fbox is like this:
\fbox{this is my text}
I'd like to do something like this:
\begin{fbox}this is my text\end{fbox}
However, doing that draws a tiny box around the first character. Anyone know a
way to turn \fbox into an environment, or an environment equivalent for
\fbox, or a way to put a border around a minipage?
Thanks

1.5.2 error
Dear users,
I am on Ubuntu 7 and I have installed LyX 1.5.2. When I tried to view
the DVI of a book I prepared with LyX 1.5.1, I get an error about the
following command in the preamble:
\renewcommand{\thethm}{\thechapter.\arabic{thm}}
In particular it says that it does not understand "\thethm" for changing
the theorem numbering.
Then I installed back LyX 1.5.1 and everything was compiled correctly.
I just wanted to remark this strange behaviour.
Thanks
Francesco
question
Dear Sir or Madam, I have a problem about Lyx for Windows 1.4.4. I would like to have my formulas appeared immediately at the center of the line (so at the horizontal center of the actual page), but I can't find the option for it. Since I have to take all of the formulas to the center one by one. Thank You for your help! Best regards, Zsolt Simon

\fbox is a command and not an enviroment. Use LyX's box feature instead to get what you want. See
the EmbeddedObjectas manual for reference.

Re: lyx-1.5.1 apa style question
Thanks for all the help. I managed to get apa style integrated. It formats
everything
well into jounral format. The apa package says that there is also a manuscript
format
included. Is this true? If so, how can I use this with lyx?
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

problem adding a class/layout
Hello, I am running Lyx 1.4.3 on XP. I need to format a paper (by Monday!) using the sig-alternate style. I have placed sig-alternate.cls in the Tex distribution and added sig-alternate.layout to both my local lyx folder and to the main lyx folder (..LyX 1.4.3-5\Resources\layouts). I also ran reconfigure (which produced an “illegal instruction” but then seemed to run to completion). However, I still do not see the new document class show up in Document | Settings..

Re: lyx-1.5.1 apa style question
So I found this:
It should be possible to switch from one mode to another one with these options:
\documentclass[jou]{apa} for the two-column output (txfonts default)
\documentclass[man}{apa} for the manuscript (double-spaced) output
\documentclass[doc]{apa} for regular document (in computer modern)
Where do I implement this in order to switch from journal from manuscript mode
for
example? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

The stuff in the square brackets is the optional argument. Add it to the
corresponding field in Document>Settings, where you choose the class.

Drop-down menu problem in double-monitor linux setup
I recently switched from a Mac installation to a Linux box, and, at the same time, from LyX 1.4.x to 1.5.x. I am experiencing the following problem: the drop down menus always open on the same monitor, regardless of where the LyX window is. In my typical setup, that means the menus drop down on the wrong monitor. I had a similar setup on MacOs, and never saw this problem. But as I said, I was on LyX 1.4.x there. Is this a known problem?

Is the circled r character in your LyX file as a circled r, or are you
using a LaTeX macro for it? If it's a single character, you might try
replacing it with \textregistered (in ERT).

The file I was reffering to was the tutorial, it seems like the tutorial
should use the highest standards, but whatever. Yes, it appears in the LyX
file as a circled r. I deleted the r's and now it comes out correctly.
Earlier I was also having trouble with bulleted lists but they seem to be
magically fixed, I'll keep you posted.
Thanks!
