Rotating captions
Hi! I'm have some of my figures 90 rotated to fit the page. But the captions dont't rotate. how can i achive this? It looks so ugly, if your figure is rotated, but the caption not. I have searched the lyx-archive on Herbert's page, but found nothing :-( Then I have some figures which include the [tb] in their floats, but if there isn't enough text in your section, LyX places the figures centered on a single page. I don't want the figures to be centered, but the [tb] command is ignored. Strange. Regards, Chris 1.1.6fix1

fancyheader
Hi! I use section* for some of my headings. The document shows no numbers, but in the fancyheader are leading numbers displayed. I use \sectionmark for shorter text in the fancyheader. How can I remove the numbers in the fancyheader? Regards Chris

Section-numbering
Hi! I my document I want to switch off temporarily the secion-numbering. Although, the sections should still apear in the toc. It is somewhat biological work and the many generas and species, I have to describe shouldn't show up with numbers. Like this: Phylum Class Subclass Supraorder Order Suborder Family Genus Species To receive a small, but usefull toc, I only want to show the family and the Genus in the toc. I could use \addcontentsline, but is there no way to stop the numbering e.g. on page 34 and start again on page 120, when all the descriptive stuff is over? I know, I always try things that complicated :-) Chris

GV doesn't like EPS?
Hi! Never had any problems displaying my document in GV. But since I put my figures to the doc GV starts making some trouble. The page-count stops behind the first EPS-Figure and I can't view the following pages. The doc prints out correctly. I've got the same "feature" using Konqueror to view the .ps file. DVI display is ok. I've tried to export the figures in any possible way from Freehand9/Win but it is always the same. I could use DVI-View, but the viewer is quite anacronistic, I think. GV is much nicer. Anybody with the same effects w/ GV? Chris

How to center section--headers?

overfull \hbox
Hi! My document does contain so much overfull \hboxes and I don't know, how to fix that. The normal way is to insert that special character "-" as a hint for hyphenation (the german "Sollbruchstelle"), but LaTeX doesn't care in most of the cases. This behavior looks very ugly, especially in he bibliography. Any hints? Chris

It is possible to relax the hyphenation control, but this must not be done in gneral, only for special cases. You should first check your latex install for a correct hyphenation file (having it in the latex tree is not enough, the format must have been remade with it). Thanks, Jean-Pierre, but my hyphenation-"system" is OK. Hyphenation works in most cases very fine, but sometimes it doesn't seem to work, even for my single column text. Chris

TeX capacity exceeded???
Hi!
Using LyX 1.1.6 on SuSE7 (Intel) I get the following error on
postscript-view:
Tex capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=300]
\onehalfspacing
If you really need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
This is only the first of 4 error-boxes. The following complain about a
missing } and \begin{document}...
If I export to LaTeX and use the comand line, the doc is translated
correctly to .ps
What is going wrong? I don't know how to change the capacity of the stack!?!
If attached the .log file from LyX
Need desparately some help, cause this is my thesis...

1.1.6pre3 now?
Hi! As it seems, many people use 1.1.6pre3 yet. Because I'm writing my thesis, it will be dangerous to switch to 1.1.6pre3 now, isn't it? If I do a make install, the new LyX overwrites the old one, so I can't really test 1.1.6pre3 without losing my stable 1.1.5fix2. Is there a way to have both versions installed without interference? Regards, Chris

Table-Import
Hi! I have quite a lot of MS-Excel (sorry!) tables to import into my LyX--Document. There is a litle macro excel2latex which saves the current selction to a .tex--file. But LyX 1.1.5f2 (SuSE7 on Intel) or maybe the laTeX has some problmes with that files. Because reLyX has some problems with tables (as noted in the man-pages), I have to \input the .tex--files. But in most cases, I get 75+ errors during the latex--run. What can I do, besides hacking all the tables once again into the document? I think, the tex.--files from excel2latex are pretty fine. Unfortunately I can't get reLyX to produce .lyx--files from my tables. That would be the best way, because I could modify the tables in LyX then. Is there a solution? Best wishes, Chris

RE: trouble error
Hi!
Last week I had some trouble with one of my Computers running LyX. It
appeared that the system was defective --- it was no LyX--Problem. After a
complete fresh installation of Linux, LyX translates my thesis correctly to
.dvi now. Sorry for that, because I wrote to the list without doing the
tabula rasa on the whole system before.
Regards,
Chris
I'm using LyX on my Desktop as well on my laptop to write my thesis. For
some days I can't run LaTex from LyX. It gives me two errors.
The first is in any case before the title of my report-style doc.:
LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
\begin {document}
You're in trouble here. Try typing return to proceed. If that doesn't
work, type X return to quit.
The second error is located each time at different positions in the first
lines of the doc. bringing the same requester up.
This occurs with 1.1.4pre3 (SuSE7.0-rpm) and 1.1.5fix2. My desktop-LyX has
no problems with the doc. I even use the the same configs for both.
I tried to reinstall lyX and latex, but no effect.
This behavior is completely annoying, because it happens just before the
finishing of my thesis. Maybe the Microsoft-syndrome strikes
back, as it was
to expect on an ms-office-doc.? :-)

Chris

margins with float-figure
Hi!
I've got a problem with float-figures. Some of my Figures extent somewhat
over my page-margins. I use 3cm for the left and the right margin for the
document.
On Herbert's LyX-Page, I found the following to change margins temporarilly:
Latex-Pre:
\newenvironment{myQuote}[2]%
{\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin#1\rightmargin#2}\item{}}%
{\end{list}}
in your text than
\begin{myQuote}{-2cm}{-2cm}
the text ... bla bla bla ... the text
\end{myQuote}
This works fine -- for the normal text, the margins are put away for -2cm
e.g., but floats don't care about that.
I think, because they're positioned by Latex, they can't "see" the
margin-changes. I use !hbtp, but no change.
The only way to fix it, would be to set the whole document to margin 1cm and
to change the text using the above Latex-Code.
But maybe, someone knows a better solution?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chris

margins with float-figure
Hi!
I've got a problem with float-figures. Some of my Figures extent somewhat
over my page-margins. I use 3cm for the left and the right margin for the
document.
On Herbert's LyX-Page, I found the following to change margins temporarilly:
Latex-Pre:
\newenvironment{myQuote}[2]%
{\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin#1\rightmargin#2}\item{}}%
{\end{list}}
in your text than
\begin{myQuote}{-2cm}{-2cm}
the text ... bla bla bla ... the text
\end{myQuote}
This works fine -- for the normal text, the margins are put away for -2cm
e.g., but floats don't care about that.
I think, because they're positioned by Latex, they can't "see" the
margin-changes. I use !hbtp, but no change.
The only way to fix it, would be to set the whole document to margin 1cm and
to change the text using the above Latex-Code.
But maybe, someone knows a better solution?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chris

Maybe a bug?
Hi! On Monday, I posted the problem on changing the skip-length in a list-environment. Because LyX displays only positive values, even if you typed -3ex e.g. for that in its paragraph-menu, i forgot to check the .dvi-File. Guenter Milde has repyed on that problem. So I tried again, and, YES, the .dvi-File looks fine. BUT: If your (-2ex-vertical skip) list reaches the end of the page AND you've got some footnotes on that page, they will crash somewhat with the list-text. Maybe this is a bug? Don't know, if its a LyX or LateX-Problem. Regards, Chris This works for enumerate, but not for list-env. Is there a chance to do this for list, too? I can't believe it! Is there really no way to do this with a single line of TeX-Code? Why the hell is it so different to finetune a list-env, when enumerate behaves so easy? Why don't you do it in LyX? Mark your List, go to Layout|Absatzformat and under Vertikale Abstände (über or unter) choose "Länge" and give a value in the field beneath (like -2ex, say) LyX does not recognize the minus and puts extra space in the screen output but in the dvi-file its correct.

Re: Change line space in a list
Is it an easy way to modify the line space in a list (enumerate or itemize
enviroment) ?
When using an enumerate enviroment I obtain something like:
1. Item one
2. Item two
3. Item three
But I want the lines be separated with single space, something like:
1. Item one
2. Item two
3. Item three
try
1. \setlength{\parskip}{-3pt} Item one
in the first enumerate-line and in tex(red)

Tuning Description
Hi! I'm doing my bibliography manually, no use of bibtex, cause I already had the list in ascii-form. So I include the file to my lyx-doc and change the env. to description, which is what I prefer for layout. BUT: Description sets all items bold. Is there a way to having these items in capitals? I think there has to be a tex-code for that, but I don't know the syntax. Any comments?

Page-numbering
Hi! My report-class document shows multiple Page 1's as page-numbering for the first pages (e.g. for the abstract-page and the directory-pages). Then with the first page of the chapter 1 starts again with a page 1. Why that? Is there a method to change this?

german keyboard shortcuts
Hi! I have configured LyX 1.1.5fix1 to german language. (LANG, bind german_menu, etc.). Now Lyx speaks in german to me. BUT: I can't use the shortcut-keys for the menus any more. As I am writning on my thesis at the moment, it is more than a pain to use the mousefor all the menu-actions. In addition, I can't get the acute-charcters to work. I've got some french text in my thesis, but all the manual hints didn't work for "é" e.g. The manuals are very confusing about that matter. I have tried even to use LaTeX-Code, but Lyx complains about that and will not display the .dvi. I have configured my keyboard correctly using xkeycaps and xmodmap. My system is SuSE 6.2. My condition is FRUSTRATED! Maybe anyone can help?
