List of tables text
Hi everyone, How can I limit the text that appears in the "List of tables"? In the float, I have a lot of text but I only want part of it (first phrase) to appear in the "List of tables". I'll throw in an example to be clear what I mean. In the float inset, this is the text that appears: "The H2B-GFP chimeric protein. The H2B protein was tagged with GFP at its carboxyl terminus; the lenght, in amino acids (a.a.), of each region and of the junction between H2B and GFP is indicated. The amino (N) and carboxyl (C) termini of the fusion protein are indicated and the histone amino-terminal tail is shown as agray box" In the list of tables, I want just to appear: "The H2B-GFP chimeric protein" Thanks in advance
Undefined Control Error with Windows Install
OK, I am new to Lyx and kind of lost here. I have installed Lyx 1.6.0rc5 on a
Windows XP Pro box that had MikTex 2.6 already installed and functional.
When I load in one of the examples (amsbook-test.lyx for example) and try to
view the file (dvi, pdf, etc) I get the following latex error:
Undefined control sequence.
LaTex Error: Missing \begin{document}
Undefined control sequence.
LaTex Error: Missing \begin{document}
I don't have a clue why I am getting the error or how to fix it. I would
appreciate any hints on how to move forward on this.
Tom

I'm not sure why, but the abstract was explicitly removed from the
book(AMS) layout. A book can have an abstract, so we should restore it.
If you want to add it manually, use ERT: Insert>TeX Code, then
"\begin{abstract}". Then out of ERT, type what you want. Then at the
end, ERT: \end{abstract}.
Second, when ever I compile the lyx book file, all the child document are
automatically opened. How can I avoid that?
You can't, at least not in 1.5. I'm not sure about 1.6. LyX 1.6 (due out
Monday) may just open them "in the background".
