Re: Lyx... setting text in circular shape

2013-09-27 Thread stefano franchi
Not with LyX, as far as I know. But everything is possible with latex. In
particular, the command \parshape allows you to build paragraphs of
arbitrary shapes. The package shapepar, which is built on top of parshape,
provides a few basic shapes, including a circle. You may want to checkout
its documentation on your system (texdoc shapepar) or to Google it.

Cheers,

Stefano

MiKTeX is your LaTeX distribution. It should suffice to open the
MiKTeX Package Manager (or whatever it's called), search for the
'booktabs' package and install it. You might want to set in MiKTeX
Settings the option "install packages on-the-fly", which would
generally avoid the issues that you're currently having.

How to install the booktabs LaTeX package

2013-09-27 Thread Ian P.L. Kwan
Hi

I am a completely new user to LyX (and LaTeX for that matter).

I installed LyX and it is functioning. I wanted to print the Introduction
to in the LyX Help, but I keep getting an error. I believe I have to
"install the LaTeX booktabs package". I have absolutely no idea how to do
this.

Can someone please let me know what to do?

Thanks
Ian
