Hello All,
LyX is great! It's helped me so much already! Regrettably, as you
learn the power of LyX, the more you can be obsessive about tiny little
details, so here's mine.
I'm doing some math homework and I've been laying out my homework
brilliantly with the Insert->Math->align. The two cool blue 'type-in'
areas pop up and I enter "x+y" in the first and "=z" in the 2nd. With
CTRL+M I can add more blue pairs and that's how I lay out my equations (
is that the LyX Way (tm) ? ).
But on some homework we're obligated to do a "check". What I would like
to do is have:
(it's painful to re-lay this out after having the power of LyX ;) )
14.
Problem Check {titles should be centered over coulmn}
__
|x+5=11 | x+5=11{underline} |
| x=11-5| 6+5= |
| x=6 | 11 {underline} |
--
I looked at the \multicolumn{} directive but that seems only to 'flow'
text from one col into another.
I also looked at the \{tabbing} environment, but that doesn't seem to
play nice with my math equations.
Does anyone have an example of this that I could take a look at, or is
there a Better Way?
Thanks!

If you want to use Helvetica for the main text, you'll have to change the
body
font family to sans serif first. In preamble:
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}

So, files lyx_tmpdir? or lyx_tmpbuf??? are in "/tmp" on my system.

Re: BibTeX styles
Rudi: I'm using LyX and not LaTeX (although I had to use LaTeX when I was trying to make custom .bst files). Vaclav: I looked under Menu>Tools>Preferences>Paths, but I can't see anything like lyx_tmpdir? or lyx_tmpbuf???. I'm using Windows XP if that helps.

When I resolved them, I worked fine. To check what bibtex is doing, go to temp directory (see. Menu>Tools>Preferences>Paths). There, you will find a directory lyx_tmpdir? with subdirectory lyx_tmpbuf??? each directory belongs to one file open in LyX. Find the one related to your document and there you will see a file maned as your document with .blg extension. This is the bibtex log-file. Try to resolve errors and warnings listed there. Vasek
BibTeX styles
Hi, I'm a little new to this, so please be patient with me. I'm trying to use a BibTeX database to organise my references. The database seems to work fine and I can insert a BibTeX reference list into my document and use it to put citations in my document. However, when I try to change the style using a .bst file generated from the custom-bib program, the dvi output puts question marks instead of citations and there's no reference list at all. The same thing happens when I use any .bst file downloaded from the web. I'd like to use natbib to get Harvard-style references. Any help would be greatly appreciated. John
