Re: How to export to RTF (Lyx 1.5.1, Mac OS X)
Many thanks for your help Oisin! Fortunately, my problem is solved. Bennett gave me this advice: "Try quitting LyX and then moving LyX's user's directory out of the way (~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5) -- just drag it to your desktop or rename it. Then restart LyX to see if that helps. (It will regenerate the user's directory and reconfigure itself automatically.)" And it works perfectly now! Anyway, many thanks for your precious answers ;-) Isaac Pante Le 21 août 07 à 01:25, Oisin Feeley a écrit : On 8/20/07, Isaac Pante <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm asking myself if I shouldn't uninstall my MacTex installation and reinstall everything (any other solution is welcome). No need for that yet! Just try and see whether latex2rtf even runs at a basic level. It should do seeing as it's in your $PATH as you showed above, but let's eliminate problems one step at a time starting at the lowest level. So, just try a quick test like "latex2rtf -v" This is what I get when I try that: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] testinglatex2rtf]$ latex2rtf -v latex2rtf 1.9.16a (Wed Aug 8 13:30:31 2007) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

" If you see output similar to the above then you have latex2rtf installed correctly and the problem is that LyX is not configured to run the command properly using the Converter. Best wishes, Oisin

I've installed Latex2RTF using i-installer. This should be
sufficient as written on the latex2rtfwebsite ("If you want a
MacOS X version, make sure that you have installed the developer
tools CD that is appropriate for your OS version, and then follow
the directions above for a UNIX installation. Alternatively you
can install using fink http://fink.sourceforge.net/ or as an i-
installer package http://www.rna.nl/ii.html.";)
In my preferences>converters, I exactly have what you mean
("latex2rtf $$i"), but I can't choose RTF in my Export menu. I
reconfigured Lyx two times with no changes.
How can I check the path? It seems to be the last possible error...
I'm not sure where iInstaller puts latex2rtf, but I suspect it's
probably /usr/local/bin. (Try checking in the Terminal by typing
"which latex2rtf" and see what the output is.) What you need to
make sure is that whatever path it gives you is a part of LyX >
Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix.
You're right, latex2rtf is installed in /usr/bin/location, a path
contained in my prefix as shown below:
"/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-
current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current:/usr/X11R6/
bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin"
You might also check the results of reconfiguring LyX, which show
up in Console.app. If it finds latex2rtf, you should have a couple
lines like this:
checking for a LaTeX -> RTF converter...
+checking for "latex2rtf"... yes
Yes, I have the both lines in the console output.
(You are quitting and restarting LyX after reconfiguring, right?)
(Yes, everytime)
I'm asking myself if I shouldn't uninstall my MacTex installation and
reinstall everything (any other solution is welcome). I've tried to
use the MacTex.dmg again, but it just updates the archive. Is there a
way (maybe using the terminal?) to be sure that I've cancelled
everything?
Many thanks for your quick help!

Re: Big problem with notes - Add content to the table of content
Thanks for your answers! I tried the "addtocontents" command. It writes my chapter in the table of contents but not the page number. Is there another command allowing me to add the page number too?

How to display italic style and add something to the table of content
Hello Everybody! I'm using lyx 1.4.1 on Mac and I have to questions: 1) I know lyx isn't supposed to do that, but is there a way to put a couple of words in italic in a document created with the book class? 2) I 've added an abstract to my document. As the book class doesn't includes it, I used the chapter* environment (I won't to create a numbered chapter for this). What is the ERT code to make it appear (with the page number) in my table of content? Thanks for every answer! Isaac Pante

Problem with JabRef on MacOSX
Hello everybody! I'm trying to import an item of my Jabref bibliography with Lyx 1.4.1 but it doesn't work.

Centering image on Lyx 1.4.1
Hello everybody! I know you have already answered at this question, but all the answers didn't worked for me. I'm trying to center a PDF image in my document. I made a floatting box, and tried to change the "paragraph" alignement setting to "center". But Lyx won't do it. What is very strange is the fact that the legend is perfectly centered, but not the image. I also tried with a BMP image, but with the same result. Here is what I get: http://isaacpante.net/problem.png Thanks for your help! Isaac Pante
