Charactersstickingtooneanother (Memoire class)

[Frederick Noronha]

Dear all: I'm using Book Memoire class to set books, using Palatino or
Times Roman.

A peculiar problem: when I set a word in italics, it tends
tosticktothenextword, unless I manually place an inter-word space
between both. This can be quite time-consuming.

Could you tell me what's going wrong? I could send you a lyx file if
you'd like to see the problem. FN

Any good British English spellchecker I could set up for Lyx, and

Secondly, how do I create a set-up that would take Portuguese as my

Point size for captions

Dear all:

I'm using the following setting to control the point-size and
line-space of my text:
\renewcommand{\normalsize}{\fontsize{10pt}{14pt}\selectfont}

This works fine for me, except when it comes to captions for
photographs. The spacing between lines looks too much.

Can you kindly let me know how to reduce the line-space between
captions only, while retaining 10/14 for the rest of the text? Many

Converting doc to Lyx

[Frederick Noronha]

Dear all:

As we work in Lyx to create our alternative books here in Goa, India,
we often run into the headache of having to convert entire doc files
into Lyx. This is a time-consuming and fraught-with-errors process,
and a line-by-line manual method.

Recently, thanks to the very efficient Lyx-Users list
[lyx-us...@lists.lyx.org] list, I learnt of some ways through which to
convert doc files into Lyx. The formatting often works, and with a
quick clean-up, it's possible to preserve formatting and import it
straight into Lyx.

This really saves a lot of time, energy and trouble.

Let me share it with you here, while thanking Stefano for helping me
convert some of my files!

Jim Oldfield jim_...@yahoo.co.uk: One way would be to open the file
in Word and from there save it as an HTML file.  Then in LyX import
that HTML file.  I doubt the results would be very good, but they
would probably at least preserve the italics.

stefano franchi stefano.fran...@gmail.com: The conversion is never
pretty, I am afraid. I usually follow  this path:
1. in word (or equivalent) save from doc  to rtf
2. convert rtf to latex with rtftolatex2e   (in Linux and, I think,
MacOs X. I do not know if a version for windows exists)
3. clean up the tex file in a text editor (in particular, remove all
the \tab commands, take a close look at the font commads)
4. import the latex file into lyx

Notice that most of the formatting is done via ad hoc latex command
(i.e. changing the fonts, inserting spaces, etc), instead of using the
proper Latex commands (i.e. title, chapter, emphasis, etc). That is
how the rtf-to-latex converter works. If you want a proper Lyx file,
you would have to clean up the file, by removing all the formatting
instruction in ERT boxes (i.e. the boxes with \tab et similia), and by
fixing the formatting with lyx formatting commands. For instance, the
paragraph spacing should be uniform, etc. But the lyx file should get
you going.

Dr Eberhard W Lisse e...@lisse.na: I have had to do this a bit
recently and find that the easiest way is to
   open the file in OpenOffice, and export it to LaTeX (you need an
   extension, google for it) using the ultra-clean option.
   Then I use TeXShop to get rid of some unnecessary stuff and change
   the header to what I like in LyX and then run tex2lyx.
Works very nicely.
It may work for you. Others have suggested the html route

Re: Converting Doc file to Lyx

Stefano Franchi helped me by doing a pretty neat translation of .doc to Lyx.
I found it very usable, and am grateful to him.

Earlier, he advocated this route:

Re: Low res PDF

[Frederick Noronha]

Thanks very much Liviu, it works exactly as I wanted. Now I have a
file about 1/20th the size, which I can easily email to the author.

You saved me (and the environment) a 16-km trip from my village to
Panjim, Goa! Drop in if you're ever in these parts. Obrigado. FN

♥ The Alvareses ... heart shaped symbols

Dear all: I've spoken about Lyx in the past. We use it to create our
books (15 so far). At this point, I badly need to deepen my
understanding of Lyx. Is there anyone else with a shared interest? Can
we share notes?

In particular, I'm keen to understand:

* Sharable templates which make for better designs.
* How to convert a design from the drawingboard to a lyx template.
* How to install templates.
* How to bring two comps (using different distros) in tandem with Lyx
versions (so that files can be shared across them).
* Examples of good design for books done using Lyx.

Thanks for any help you could offer. FN

 What do you mean, convert a design from the

I know what I want the first pages of my chapters to look like, but

Re: Centering page numbers for a book

[Frederick Noronha]

Thanks Marcelo! What I mean is, if after typesetting the book, I need
to remove or add pages (post printouts), then things go awry. FN

2010/8/14 Marcelo Acuña mv...@yahoo.com.ar:
 Is there some way I could CENTRE all the page numbers at
 the bottom of the page, on a book?

 titlesec package or fancyhdr package. They allow to define page styles.

 I like the current look, of having the page numbers on the
 outer side of the page. But if any pagination changes, all
 goes awry.

 !?

 That would not have to happen. There there is a problem.
