Parts and Sections numbering

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

A (hopefully) simple question:

Using Lyx, how do "re-start" the numbering of sections for different
parts?

viz:

Part 1:
Secn 1
Secn 2
Secn 3

Part 2:
Secn 1
Secn 2

Part 3:
Secn 1
Secn 2

Thanks for your help,

Matt

Natbib and updating the .bib file

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

I've been having some problems with LyX and Natbib.
I've been exchanging a document with a colleague, so we can both work on
it. We're using Natbib and the \citet command for the citations, but
when we output a dvi, we get (author?) [12] in front of some of the
citations. I've tried to sort this out - is this an issue with the .bib
file, or something else. Ideas?

Also, if I use a bibliography, and then change the .bib file, the
updates often don't appear in the dvi/ pdf. I have to delete
the /tmp/lyx directories, and then do it. Is there anyway of 'forcing'
lyx to look at the .bib file again?

Thanks a lot,

Matt

Installing new packages

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

Can anyone explain to me how to install new packages for use with LyX?
Where do I put them (I think I know what to do with them, as I found a
LaTeX description - do you have to do anything different for LyX?)

Once installed, do you have to 'register' them with LyX?

Thanks,

Matt

Centering a Float in Lyx

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

Despite reading and re-reading the lyx FAQ and User Guide, I'm still
having problems centering floats;

My Document settings has \centre in the "float placement" field, and
I've even tried {\begin center} {\end center} around the floats, but no
luck.

Any ideas?

Fractions

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

I'm trying to insert a (logical) formula, of the form:


a,b,c
if a,b,c -> d
-
d

I'm trying to do it using a fraction, but don't know how to get a double
top line. Any ideas?

Inserting Floating figures

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

I'm using Lyx (v 1.3.5, Fedora Core 2) and am having some problems with
floating figures.

By using latex from the command line, I've found the problem:

Lyx generates:
\caption{\begin{tabular}


which causes latex to throw some errors.

If you alter it to read:
\caption[]{\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
The it runs ok.

Does anyone know how to do this automatically?

Thanks,
Matt

Outputting DVI

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

My version of Lyx (1.3.5, 6th Oct, 2004) hangs when I try and export a
DVI file (or, in fact, anything that isn't PDF using pdflatex.


The preamble is:
\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}

Does anyone know why this is happening ?
