Those document classes may not be included in MikTeX. Check "Help"->"LaTeX Configuration" from menu which lists original resources of those classes marked "not available". Unfortunately, you need manually fetch classes from those resources and install them under the TeX's texmf tree. Koji

Seems like these long lines got wrapped by your mail program.
I learned, why my example does not work any more:
To use the new environments, you need to put the files
``a0poster-kh.tex`` und ``rgbtxt.tex`` from
http://www.physik.uni-augsburg.de/theo3/Comp/hp750c/computing_hp750c_A0.de.shtml
in a place where latex will find them and include the line::
\input{a0poster-kh}
in the Document (as ERT).

Can't turn off numbering in TOC
I'm using the Book class. I want to turn off the page numbering for TOC.
The Contents list extends over two pages.
I've put \thispagestyle{empty} after Tableofcontents, but the Table
appears with "3" on the first page though the second page is empty.
I think the problem arises because there are two pages; when there was
only one it was OK.
Is there any way to achieve this? If not, I'll just have to make the
thing manually.

From LyX menu:
Document->Settings->Numbering&TOC
Set numbering as appropriate.

No, I was talking about the page number at the bottom of the Table of
Contents, not the content. But, as a matter of interest, I tried
altering the numbering you mention and it didn't make any difference to
anything as far as I can see.

Re: Hyphenationpriblem with '-'
You can find the complete explanation in the manual Embedded Objects section 5.6.1 Preventing Hyphenation Siegfried
problems with references, apsrev
Hi,
I am using the document class REVTeX4 to write an article and JabRef to
write my references. JabRef writes bitex code that I can insert into
lyx. I have been using apsrev as the style to insert my references which
seems fine, except the second initials of authors never seem to come out
right. For example:
@ARTICLE{PRL,
author = {J.C. Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A.P. Horsfield and A.M.
Stoneham},
title = {Could humans recognize odor by phonon assisted tunneling?},
journal = {Physics Review Letters},
year = {2007},
volume = {98},
pages = {038101},
owner = {Jennifer},
timestamp = {2007.04.14}
}
in the .bib file, put when I export my document to .pdf I get:
[1] J.C Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A. Horsfield and A. Stoneham
where the P and M are missing. If I try something like plainnat as the
style, there is no problem, i.e.
[1] J.C. Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A.P. Horsfield and A.M. Stoneham
Except the sorting of the numbers goes all haywire and they appear
alphabetically not numerically.
Please can anyone help?
Many thanks
Jenny

Set the page style to be "empty" in the document dialogue. Then, at the
beginning of your main text, reset the pagestyle using an ERT box.

Is uninstalling required ?
Hi there, I'm new again in LyX, currently 1.5.1 under Linux. I've been trying using it years ago, but I gave up because of difficulties in maintaining documents, especially when formulas had to be edited, as far as I can remember. Importing to and from LaTeX was quite poor, too. I've tried again : I just wanted to import a simple page and... It'been a long time since I hadn't seen a frozen app ;-) Let's say I'd better upgrade before trying again. So, my point : if I compile Lyx, should I type make uninstall in Lyx-1.5.1 before make install in 1.5.2, or just make install in the most recent source tree ? Regards -- herve
Re: Is uninstalling required ?
Hi, I wrote : should I type make uninstall in Lyx-1.5.1 before make install in 1.5.2, or just make install in the most recent source tree ? I've uninstalled 1.5.1 (in case of...) and installed 1.5.2. LyX-1.5.2 can't compile tex files, either. It hooks in an endless waiting, as it forks(?) to run sh -c latex 'latexdoc.tex' When typed in a shell, sh -c makes latex to ask for the filename, so noone can reply anything here... Does anybody know what's going wrong here ? -- herve

I've uninstalled 1.5.1 (in case of...) and installed 1.5.2. Always a good idea. I've seen problems from this. LyX-1.5.2 can't compile tex files, either. It hooks in an endless waiting, as it forks(?) to run sh -c latex 'latexdoc.tex' When typed in a shell, sh -c makes latex to ask for the filename, so noone can reply anything here... Does anybody know what's going wrong here ? No, I'm not sure. I haven't seen this problem before. But if latexdoc.tex exists, then latex should simply compile it when invoked in that way. So it sounds as if there's a problem there on your system.

Thanks, Helge. After your question, I realized that in fact the box was in the image itself, and it was not added by LyX. Paul
