Copy and paste problems
I have prepared a Prosper class presentation in Lyx and want to include some of it in a book I am preparing for my students. In Lyx I did a copy and paste and removed any Prosper specific environments and ERT. The document generated about 800 errors. These disappeared when I cut the new parts from the document. -- Laurie Savage Science @ Pascoe Vale Girls' College 03 9306 2544

Re: presentation experiences with seminar.cls
I've installed all the Prosper package, layout files and inc files and
can now produce a very simple prosper file from within Lyx.If I include
eg \style{PPRclean} in the preamble I get errors and when I tried
viewing Christian's sample file I got 101 errors and Dekel's cluster
file gives me 11 errors.
What am I missing?

I don't value the suggested nesting pratice (see template on tipstricks)

also got a lot f error msg.
The slides.cls doesn't provide enough env. for my case.
What I did: I wrote the article on which my presenation will be baseed on
first and then saved it as a new file. In that file I changed the doc class
to seminar and put the page to landscape. I now have a good basis for the
presentation on which I only need to do some fine-tuning like pic,
headlines etc.
Hi
I did some presentations with LyX and FoilTeX, which worked ok for simple
stuff. Then I tried PowerPoint once (never again, spent too much time
fiddling), Star Office once or twice (couldn't get nice equations)
and then went back to LyX with something called Prosper. That seems
enough for me anyway.
At this URL you can find my latest presentation created with LyX/Prosper

It's there both in .lyx-format and in .pdf, so you can see both what it

Layout with nested styles for examdesign LaTex class
After browsing the archives I came across Jon Pennington's posting for
exam.layout. When exported to LaTex it does not generate the nested
structure the class needs, viz
\begin{question}
A question
\begin{answer}
An answer
\end{question}
\end{answer}
or the paired structure for mix and match
\begin{match}
\pair{Einstein}{Relativity}
\pair{Hoyle}{Panspermia}
\end{match}
If some one will point me in the right direction I'll have a go at
rolling my own and post the results here.

Cannot view DVI, view PDF, import Word etc...
I've been a happy Lyx user on my Mandrake systems. I've moved to RedHat 7.1 and reinstalled Lyx1.6fix3 and while it appears to work half of my View options have disappeared and those that are still on the menu don't work ie -> DVI, ->PDF(latex) fail although xpdf and gv are both on the system. My imports menu is shortened as well, import from Word does not appear. 1. What packages should I check for and once found how do I get Lyx to know about them? 2. If I have to recompile fix3 what arguments should I pass and how do I remove the existing installation of Lyx? (I know how to use rpm but uninstalling apps installed from tarballs eludes me). -- Laurie Savage Many say it was a mistake to come out of he trees, some say the move out of the oceans was a bad idea.

In Layout - LaTeX Preamble write \usepackage{textcomp}
And in your Document write as ERT (LaTeX Code) \textdegree
Thats it :-)
Have a look at Herberts Pages:
www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~Voss/lyx/symbols/textcomp.html
There is an example file with lots of other texcomp's

Sub- Superscript
A dumb question, but how can I create a subscript (as in chemical formulae) or superscript (as in algebraic expression)? Laurie Savage
Newsletter with Lyx
Does anybody know of a newsletter layout/class that will support things like: vol#, no#; banner headlines; date in the header; sidebars; boxed text and balanced columns.

Re: problem with pybliographic
I guess you've started by insrting the Bibtex references at the end of your document otherwise the little gray boxes with the citation ref would not appear. Do a view on your document, you should see the correct references Otherwise ... Check .lyx/lyxrc for the pipe and delete the lyxpipe files before starting Lyx then start pyb. Works for me.
