Re: Problems with Windows installation [solved]

In a different group, was informed that CTAN deprecated amsmath and  
replaced with two packages.  Probably this is the cause to the lack of  
compilation.  MikTeX was actualizing a change that was not anounced to the  
user.

Hi Uwe,

That would be great. I am not sure that I have enough knowledge to help but I 
certainly would consider it.

One of the reasons I first asked about this was not so much about direct 
submission for publication though that is very important--the APA 5th Manual 
says that over a 1000 non-APA journals use the Manual but because every 
psychology student in North America and from what I see, in at least most of 
the English-speaking psychological world uses it in preparing papers plus 
French speaking students in Québec. There are suggestions here and there that 
the style is used in several (many?) other languages .  This also seems to 
extend to Education, Nursing  and a host of other social science disciplines 
that I am not familiar with.

Essentially a paper for these students must conform pretty much exactly to the 
equivalent of \documentclass[man,12pt]{apa6}.  I don't know know if there is a 
hard-science or math equivalent: Perhaps all undergraduate math student 
assignments need to match AMA formatting guidelines?   

At a rough guess, students in my city with a community college, one small and 
one medium sized unviersty probably submit 5,000 APA formatted papers each 
year. Also, as others have mentioned, with a bit of minor tweaking APA sets the 
style for theses or disertations in a broad range of disciplines.  Come to 
think of it, other disciplinces with less stringent stylistic demands may well 
be very happy with \documentclass[doc,12pt]{apa6}.

So my thought was let's catch them while they are young. From my own experience 
and talking to some current students using APA can be a real hassle and a 
decent apa6 option in LyX would likely be a real crowd pleaser, especially once 
they learned about bibtex.  





Universities here in Nicaragua, use APA style for thesis.

Can't read dvi with a portable installation

2012-10-07 Thread Denis J Navas

I am using LyX 2.0.4 in a portable installation (portable LyX).

When I try to visualize dvi, I get the following error:

C:\USB16\PortableApps\Portableoyx2\Common\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.gq2928\lyx_tmpbuf2\Letterpaper.dvi

Letterpaper.dvi isn't the file name of the document I am reading.

In preferences -- file formats, I have given the path to yap.exe without 
success.


Someone has some ideas of what I can do?

PDF works fine.

Thanks,

Denis J Navas

Re: Produce PDF/A in Lyx

What will work is to use Acrobat Pro/Distiller (not the free version).

Good luck.
