It's hard to be 100% sure with only the information you've provided, but it sounds like a problem with the TeX installation or configuration. *.sty files, or "style files" are managed by the TeX/LaTeX package manager. On Windows, that is usually the MiKTeX package manager. If you've got it configured to install packages "on-the-fly" it should work with no intervention, but there will be a little delay creating your .pdf the first time because it will need to download some new files. If you don't have MiKTeX configured to automatically download packages, then you have to see what the name of the missing *.sty file is, search for it in the package manager, and install it manually. It sounds like the MiKTeX package manager on the XP computer is either configured differently or has had the necessary packages already installed, whereas on the Windows 8 machine, something is different. I think it was the stable version of LyX on both computers. > If this isn't enough help to solve the problem for you, it would be good if you could provide additional information about what your LaTeX manager is, and the exact versions of LyX running. > > MVH C.Bournonville > > > Jacob

Bob, If they really mean TeX, as opposed to LaTeX, then I don't think LyX can do that. LyX produces LaTeX, not TeX. If LaTeX is acceptable, then I think it's as simple as: lyx --export latex I know there's also a way to do it from LyX's menu system, but I don't have it open right now. I think it's File->Export.

Re: exporting tex for newbies
export latex (pdflatex) run pdflatex on the name of your tex file (once or twice) run bibtex on the same, but without .tex extension (i think) bibtex will produce .bbl file copy the contents of the .bbl file to the end of your .tex (replacing bibliography command that's already there) check if the new .tex works, without having .bib file in the folder send .tex to the publisher you might need to convert your .eps to .pdf I believe that many of these files can be already found in LyX temp folder after successful compilation of your .lyx

Hello, How does LyX work with Windows 8?

exporting tex for newbies
I recently had a paper accepted by an American Institute of Physics journal. The paper was reviewed from pdf documents created by Lyx but now the AIP emails: "Please upload your article file as a Word or Tex file. AIP production cannot use a PDF as the article source file." I assume they want to reformat the article for the standard of the journal. I have read several threads on the User's group and this does not seem as simple as doing a File|export|latex. Some issues that seem to come up are handling citations, and figures. Can anyone suggest a step-by-step method for a Tex newbie to create a package that I can send them? The package might include the Latex file created by one of the export options (please specify which one), my bibtex file, plus ??? BTW, my figures are all in eps format and I assume the AIP can use those?? FWIW, I am using Lyx 2.0.6 on a Windows 7 64 bit system. Bob

Hello:
I solved this by setting the font size in the short title to normal.
Previously I tried to set the font size of the whole short title (option)
by selecting the whole option including the word "opt" and the red rectangle,
and it did not work. I found I must set the font size to normal only within
the short title box, not including the gray "opt" and the red rectangle of the
short title.
Thank for your input.

I think this is an enumitem module bug.
I suppose it is a limitation that cannot be fixed in enumitem module.
Maybe the code for "short title" (i.e. optional arguments) insets could
be modified.
Juergen,
Is there something like PassThru for insets arguments?
