Hi Steve, first I must say that I can understand your anger. :-) OTHO I would like to give the other side of the coin. I am a Fedora packager and from our point of view (la)tex packaging is a mess. One of the things that takes time with a new set of packages is to guarantee that everything works and that there are no new problems when using different packages together. Also from Fedora point of view we need to review the licenses to ensure that all the packages have the right license (allow us to redistribute and modify) with the non-commercial clause (as an example). In conclusion for us to update the tex distribution is always an adventure (not necessarily in the best sense). I know that things have been improving, as this has been a problem for long time, but we are still not there where some random packager can feel confident to update a package like memoir to the latest version in an easy way. -- José Abílio

Pierfranco, I have had problems with ImageMagick, too, they disappeared after installing the newest version. I can really recommend MacPorts for this type of software installations. There are good chances that you already have installed MacPorts on your box. If not, it is anyway a good idea to get it. Most OpenSource programs and tools are provided as a MacPorts package for OSX; installing and especially upgrading such software via MacPorts is very convenient. So open a terminal window and type the following commands: sudo port selfupdate sudo port install ImageMagick This may take a while. If "sudo" moans that "port" can not be found, you have to install MacPorts first. AFAIK you can find it on the second DVD that comes with Leopard. Otherwise look at http://www.macports.org Daniel

It is: KOMA-scripts scrlttr2 has options for the parskip setting: (see scrguide.pdf table 6.4 on pg. 170) Class options are well supported by LyX layouts, so inserting ClassOptions Other "parskip=half" End into scrlttr2.layout will ensure that paragraph separation will be by vertical space in the printout as well as in the LyX window (even with the "indent" setting).

Ignore All Button in SpellCheck doesn't work

Like I said, it works just fine for me. Without an example of how it's
not working for we could probably talk until we're blue in the face
without a resolution. Maybe I just don't understand the problem. So,
I've attached a small example showing how Natbib is 'sort'ing the
bibliography. As you can see in the example the first citation is
Smith & Weston in LyX, but in the pdf output from LyX it is the last
citation in the text because it is the last citation in the
Bibliography. Hence, Natbib is 'sort'ing the citations in the output
text according to the bibliography order.
Isn't this what you wanted?

I created two additional sections, Greek and Subscript with this code:
\RequirePackage{ifthen}
\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{G}}{\item[\textbf{Greek}]}{
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{S}}{\item[\textbf{Subscripts}]}{}}}
This created two additional sections with titles Greek and Subscripts
in the nomenclature page.
Then when you insert a nomenclature item, in the 'Sort as:' box you
could put either a, g, s for alphabetic, greek, or subscript and then
you could put the alphabetical order afterwords. For example, to sort
the greek letter beta I would put 'gb' in the sort as box. This would
sort beta as greek and then alphabetically by 'b'.

Re: Floating Table Objects Error [solved]
Hello,
again thank you all very much for your help. I solved the problem now.
As Günter guessed, it had s.th. to do with the declaration of the
figure- and tablecaptions. I defined the figurecaption, but not the
tablecaption. It works now by adding following lines:
%Fügt "Tabelle " vor die Nummern in der LOT
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED] }
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\par
\addcontentsline{\csname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\csname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\csname the#1\endcsname}{\ignorespaces #2}}%
\begingroup [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \fi \normalsize
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] #3}\par \endgroup}

OK, to a table-float triggers the error but does not produce it.

Yes, this is the recommended way.
With the first lines, the float is generated:

... But when I insert these Lines, the error appears:

Does s.o. see the reason for my problem in these lines?
This are far too many line for me to spot an error in restricted time.
I'd recommend to try further by "divide and conquer.
Keep an eye on settings that have to do with table floats.

Thanks José, I never really thought of it from the packager's point of view, always figuring those guys were so Linuxly smart that somehow getting the package combo would be easy for them. But now that you mention it, I consider compiling LyX with a recent Qt4 a burden, so I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to put together a whole distro.

Can't bind lyx function to certain keys
I'm trying to set up my keybindings so that when I enter a greek character, it inserts the greek character in math mode. I have my keyboard set up (with xmodmap) so that pressing Mode_switch-a generates "Greek_alpha", Mode_switch-b generates "Greek_beta", and so on. Then in my lyx keybindings file I have a bunch of lines like: \bind "Greek_alpha" "math-insert \alpha" \bind "Greek_beta" "math-insert \beta" ... For some reason though, these bindings get ignored, and just the regular greek letters get input (i.e. if I look at the source with view->view source, I see the actual greek characters, instead of \alpha, \beta, etc. commands). Then if I try to export to dvi or pdf, I get a warnig about some characters not being representable in the chosen encoding. I also tried binding other functions to the greek letters, just to test, but the bindings are always ignored. Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

I just moved the logo into the center of the top on one of my presentations and viewed the resulting PDF to make sure this was what it did. Therefore, if you create your full-width logo with the two required logos on each side, and the center section (where the slide title will appear) consisting of a background the same as the slide style has in that position, the effect is the same as having separate logos in each corner.

If you see the Document settings class, the User's guide is in book (KOMA-script), but by default LyX does not provide that document class. You can install the KOMA-script from MikTeX.
