Re: Bibliography links
Hi, I have just configured a bibliography for Lyx using a data feed from Bookends exported into Bibdesk for final tweaks . As the reference related text already exists with reference calls using Author (Date) etc, rather than complicate matters by replacing these I am considering using a simple [n] hyperlink generated by LyX manually appended to the existing text. As this number is assigned at “compile” time what happens with Lyx if I were to add or delete a reference in my bibliography would Lyx adjust the numbers to maintain the registration between the numbers and references and to provide a continuous sequence of numbers which are aligned with the correct reference with any gaps or additions taken into account?

Rearranging figures - reassurance
Hello, I am using the document class books for my thesis and I have numbered my figures with chapter number first and incremental number second - ie Fig 2.3 for graphic 3 in chapter 2. I wish to delete and change the order of figs . I have done this and manually updated the links (for the TOC ?). Are there any snags I could encounter by moving figures around like this? Thanks in advance Brian Kneller -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Hyperref clarification
Hi I am using book standard class and am installing chapters from MS Word and PDF graphics into LyX. I have hyperlinks generated between the figures list, TOC and Bibliography in the standard class without hyperref being available. The options I have tried in Docs>Settings> PDF Props seem to work and hyperref is made available through the “Use hyperref Support” option. I have not installed any new document cross refs yet in LyX as they, and the Bibliography refs already exist for manual cross referencing. I would like to automate cross reference access using hyperref and the existing cross ref ID. I understand this is automatic when creating them in LyX, however I have been unable to find a feature to enable the document reader to return from an accessed cross reference back to the point of calling or have I missed the obvious? Separate issue: after generating a PDF from source I sometimes get errors and some of these quote a line number of large value which does not reference the source file, or is it the error log and in which case how can I enumerate the lines please?

Clipping graphics in Lyx
Hello, I have tried clipping graphics to remove white spaces and centre it on the page. I have been unable to find a detailed description as to how it should be done. From my experience I have assumed the zero in the bottom LHS of the graphic to which a pair of coordinates and associated and likewise the is another pair on the top RHS. I centre the graphic horizontally by changing the “x” values on the clipping entries and this seems to be quite easy the vertical parameters (y) are more difficult to adjust. I am finding the outcome of adjustments is difficult to predict making trimming time consuming. How does the presentation logic respond to changes in clipping values I suspect the float function interacts with this?. All my figures are one page high so I really don’t need to float (?) 1- would suppressing floating help and if so what is best way ? Thanks for your help Regards Brian Kneller -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Calibri Font
Hello, I am a newbie to Lyx and I am using the Manchester PhD template on the LyX website. Before LyX all my figures and text used Calibri font, it would be great if I could use this in my LyX rendering. I have been on the web and found several options however the solutions are dependant on several modules being present - what is required for Lyx please? Thanks in advance ( if I am addressing the wrong groups [please let me know) Brian Kneller -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Help Please
Hi thanks for the responses they have been most useful. I have a few questions
below:
I have decided to use the Manchester Uni thesis format as its very near the
London Uni version. I think I am running into unnecessary difficulties because
I am using my existing directory structure and Lyx has a preferred in
/Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.3. I have not found a preferred structure
is there one?
I am stripping out the bits I don’t want from the Thesis Template such as
figures , headings , labels etc all have an index of some form where should
these be stored & how do I ensure these are reset or can I copy the template
into the template subdirectory , which is currently empty and then start a new
doc from this.
I have loaded revtex4-1 into the shared area subdir but cannot see it from the
Doc/settings in the lyx main menu should it be there?
I like the use of Letterine for the first char of a section, how is this
\lettrine{I}{n}and the following invoked :-- Figure~\ref{shuffle_diagram};
\label{Shuffle} and where is the definitions of these –I have not found (yet)
where this is described an indication where I could look would be helpful. I
suspect they are under the Lyx-Code environment in the dropdown top lefthand
side of menu – but there is no list below it.
Sorry for these simple questions but I need to complete this soon
Many Thanks

Convert Mac Word and Thesis to LyX
Hi, I hope I am in the correct space. — I have prepared a thesis for a PhD (75K words)and approx 80 figures, the text in Mac-word and the figures are in Adobe Illustrator so I have some flexibility in Format. Also there are many references. I hold all my references and comments on them in Bookends. I regret not looking at lyx/latex and using them much earlier so I am looking for an easy way to migrate this info into Lyx and I am also looking for a Thesis template. I have dowloaded and installed Lyx on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks) and been thro the intro etc. I am trying to minimise the effort in migration to Lyx so any comments and advice is most welcome. Thanks in anticipation Regds Brian Kneller -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
