Re: Bibliography
Geoff;
It is meant to use the abbreviated versions of journal titles but lyx
seems to use the full names.
THe files is apsrev.bst
Any ideas how to force the shortened versions of these things?
You can define your own macro bib file for these. Have a look at the one
I use attached. The strings items anyway.
You then need to add this to the bibtex generated box BEFORE your other
.bib files.

Re: how to insert a 'landscape page' inside a document with portrait orientation ?
inside a document with portait orientation as global option, is it possible
to insert a figure (or a table) in the landscape format without rotating it
? So, I would like to have, inside my pdf export, the figure's page with a
landscape orientation, and the other pages with portrait orientation, i.e. I
would like to insert a landscape page in a document with portrait
orientation !
I have tried with rotating and landscape packages but, apparently, these
packages are only designed to rotate landscape figures for display them in a
document with portrait orientation ?
I have stumbled upon this "solution" by pure chance. I'm not sure how or
why it works but I think it does what you request.
1. Add to preamble (add both since I forget which one is called):
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{lscape}
2. Insert the image onto a portrait page with ERT (image needs to be in
.pdf format):
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=9in]{picsforthesis/you_image.pdf}
\caption{Your caption.}
\label{fig:your label for ref}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
3. Run view Pdflatex to produce the .pdf file.
4. Open this file with gsview32 rather than acrobat.
5. Use the File>>Convert option in gsview32 to convert all the .pdf into
another pdf (dont ask - i have no idea!)
6. now open the newly saved version in acrobat and the ERT inserted
image will be in landscape.
It takes far less time doing than explaining!!

Bug in spell checker?
Hi List; Perhaps not a LyX issue this one so bare with me. Lyx 1.3.3, Ruurds port for Win XP When using the spell checker I've just found that if only one suggestion for a correction appears it cannot be used to replace the offending text. For example (using English dict) if in error I type "necessacrilary" I have only the one correct spelling option this can be selected but will not replace. Note; This bug will only appear if this spelling error follows another. If this is the FIRST spelling error the spell checker will work ok. This highlights a point I made some (long) time ago where I noted that the top item in the spell check listbox cannot be selected and used to replace an error directly. I find you need to first select a word from lower in the list and then reselect the top word for this to work. 1. Can this be confirmed? 2. If so where best to report it?

Re: Elsart users
Milos; with elsart this will give you authors on separate lines with address for each individual, which is senseless if they are from the same institution. So yeah, ERT seems to be the only way to get the other output style with a shared address. That's at least how I had to do it recently, but maybe someone else knows of a better way.

Re: How do you make a bibliography?
Hi Steve; Now I have some questions... What is a site key, and what should I put in there? A number? A letter? A string? I assume it needs to be unique. Its a unique code to a specific reference. I tend to use the first authors surname followed by a number e.g. Smith:1 Should the author be Lastname, Firstname MiddleInitial? In tk bibtex enter the name as it appears e.g. A.B Clark or as Allen Brian Clark if you have the full name for two or more authors separate each with: and eg A.B Clark and Derek Edward Fish Is the year the year copyrighted? Normally it's the year of publication Why is there no provision to state a page number or chapter number? enter the page range as: 1 - 99 in page box - needs to be reference type Article (or similar) which provides for page numbers As for chapter - you would normally enter this when you place a reference into the document. If it's a website, what reference type do I use. tkbibtex has all sorts of reference types, but "Website" isn't one of them? When referencing a website, do I put its URL in the URL field? I tend to place these in the note field. Not sure of my logic on this one though! What are CROSSREF, CODE, ANNOTE and ABSTRACT for, and do I need to use those just to give credit to the original source of the material? Crossref is used when an article appears in book or similar and you need to reference both sources. I dont bother too much with this. Dont bother with the others since most will choke up Bibtex - well I know the abstract field does anyway. Sometimes I reference a whole book, and sometimes I reference a tiny piece of text out of the book (within the bounds of fair use). How do these differ as far as the bibiliaography? AFAIK they dont. Reference the book and pp range?? I'll probably have more questions -- this is entirely new to me. In that case I suggest you have a google around for bib, bibtex, etc. You may find a lot of the FAQs are already answered elsewhere.

Re: Wiki: Separate group for windows-related pages?
This makes sense to me. A lot of the traffic on this list is caused by Windows-specific bugs and work arounds. Making the Windows pages more visible and easier to extract the desired information from would be a good thing IMO. Of course, adding an automatic redirect to the new pages would be a cool thing to do too :) I have no problem with a separate wiki but: If space is an issue then. A lot of the main page info still refers to both the 1.3.3 and 1.3.5 setups. I see no reason, now that version 1.3.5 appears to be stable on Win (with a few tweaks), why the page needs refer to 1.3.3 any longer - unless that is I'm told different. This would thin out a fair bit from the page. Also losing the win98 setup page would not hurt since neither myself or the other regular win wiki page editors have kept this up to date (at least not in line with the XP 2000 page) The graphics page also could head for the bin for much the same reason - it was a page I started with all good intentions of completing but. Other than that I (and no doubt others) are trimming the main setup page down as and when possible. I guess with arrival of the awaited LyX 1.3.6 there will be no need for a win wiki anyway ;-) Rob S -- R D Saunders Hydraulic Research Group Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Southampton UK

LyXWin Wiki Pages
Hi list - well LyXWin users at least I have a bit (an hour or two)of spare time at the moment so I'll make a start on moving things over to the new Windows group pages on the Wiki. I'll keep the pagelist upto date as I go and also leave the old pages where they are for the time being - redirecting the links when appropriate. Please don't expect this to happen overnight though! If or when I get bored doing all this I'll get back to the list and let someone else have a go. In the mean time please can all editing of windows related info be made only to the OLD pages - I'll keep an eye open for any changes which I can then reflect over on the newer group pages. Hope that all makes sense ;-) Cheers Rob S -- R D Saunders Hydraulic Research Group Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Southampton UK
Re: thesis initial pages numbering and title page
a) Does anyone have a template for the title page of a thesis.
See attached - amend as reqd
I've based this around the report class - it served my needs well.
You will need to have the included files and bib file(s) in the same dir
as the master file for this to work.
Also should you need a glossary(notation) of terms see my notes for
creating this here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Glossary

As above - example of this on the thesismaster file attached

Re: Tables too wide
I imported a table from Excel (with help of a macro which exports TEX code) as ERT. Now the table is to wide to fit in th columns of the document, which looks ugly. You can set column widths within Lyx. Is there a way to prevent this, e.g. making fonts a little smaller for the table to fit on the page? I'm not sure if this is the best solution but I have used: This is all in a table float; Table title \scriptsize (in a TEX box) Table here \normalsize (in a TEX box) Rob S -- R D Saunders Hydraulic Research Group Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Southampton UK
Re: LyXWin not working on XP
Quick Windows tip: rather than mapping a local network drive, try subst, which is faster (operates directly at the filesystem level - no SMB generation and parsing, no transfers through the loopback interface), cleaner, and safer (no unnecessarily-shared directory). You can make the subst command an autorun entry in the Registry so it takes effect every time you reboot. More info please! subst?? Can provide a more detailed step by step method for this - it may help others, like myself, who are not that "computer jargon" literate.

Re: Overview of the NatBib styles - which is the right one for me?
But as far as I understand the apalike.bst was not written with NatBiB in mind, and using it with NatBib could cause problems. This is why I started looking into abbrvnat.bst, plainnat.bst and unsrtnat.bst. But maybe I am wrong here. I've just written my entire thesis using apalike + natbib without a problem As I mentioned some time back though I have had to add: [EMAIL PROTECTED]([EMAIL PROTECTED] , #2\fi)} [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the preamble but thats all.

Not sure if this will work for all but:
I added a touch of LaTeX code directly into the .bib file entry.
i.e. Freds{\o}e in the bib file entry will produce Fredsøe in the output.

Lyx has helped to convert another M to a D!!
Dear Lyxers; Many thanks to all who have developed LyX and have provided me with help over the past 3-4 yrs. My PhD thesis started life using 1.2.? on a very unstable (it seemed to me anyway ) cygwin environment and rolled off the printer for the final time yesterday after a flawless compile on the Win Ported LyX 1.3.5. It is now safe with the binders leaving me to graduate this summer one day after my wife (doh) who also expresses similar thanks to the LyX team - (she changed over from using Word to using Lyx 1.3.3 in a week and never looked back). Once again team, Many Many thanks Dr. Rob S For the record I used: Report class out of the box Natbib from the options found within preferences Used Apalike style (tweaked to italicise et. al.) but with no other hassle Pdflatex to export/build Image formats .pdf, .png, .bmp and .jpg (I never really understood graphics formats) Lyx 1.2.? to 1.3.5 supported by Miktex TCl/Bibtex and the rest of the bits noted on the wiki page -- R D Saunders Hydraulic Research Group Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Southampton UK

win32 QT version "latex configuration"
Dear list:
OS Win XP pro
Lyx Qt 1.3.2
Problem:
Edit --> Reconfigure produces an empty LaTeXConfig.lyx file in
share\lyx\doc\
Thus Help --> LaTex Configuration gives a msgbox "Not a Lyx file!"
Configure script is:
echo "creating doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx"
echo "s/@chk_linuxdoc@/$chk_linuxdoc/g" >> chkconfig.sed
echo "s/@chk_docbook@/$chk_docbook/g" >> chkconfig.sed
sed -f chkconfig.sed ${srcdir}/doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx.in
>doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx
After running configure from a Cmd window text for this is:
Creating doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx
Sed: file chkconfig.sed line 1: unknown option to 's'
Can anyone enlighten me on this please?

RE: image conversion tools
Hi; You're not alone - I suffer the same problem and have done since changing from the cygwin version. However, one thing that others have found successful is ensuring that imagemagick convert.exe is in your path BEFORE any windows directories. This is because of the system32 similarly named convert.exe being found first and trying to convert the image into a FAT32 or NFTS file system!! Even this though has not resolved the problem for me. Now I just use .eps images throughout and put up with not viewing them in the lyx gui but rely on viewing them in the DVI preview instead.

Lyx Win32 setup notes
Dear List I have been seeing a lot of questions of late relating to the setup of Lyx on a Windows platform. Some of these I have answered personally (I have only been getting the digest list). Most come down to the updating of Sed and also problems with image magick (eps- error converting to loadable format) With the help in the past from Angus, Paul R and others I now have a fully functioning lyx 1.3.3 running under Windows XP Many thanks to all :-) In order to perhaps help others en bloc I have just uploaded a document giving a step by step guide to the initial setup procedure for Lyx on an English version of Windows XP. Find it here: http://www.soton.ac.uk/~rds2/WinLyxsetupnotes.htm If these steps prove to be of use perhaps someone can make a link to this page from somewhere which can be found more readily. I will endeavour to keep abreast of ongoing problems on the Win Lyx setup front and update the page accordingly. Comments welcome Regards Rob S *** Robin D.

From what I've read in general over the past view days this is now an unnecessary step, and I must admit I have to agree at least as far as AcroRd32 is concerned. I've since amended my (own) notes to reflect these opinions. However, as yet the only way I have managed to get newer Sed working is to follow this procedure but hey thats another matter What you follow with is I'm sure pretty much the case now. > > I think the concern about spaces in the path is misplaced in this case. > I have the Win32 port running on three different versions of Windoze (98, > ME, XP), with Acrobat Reader installed under C:\Program Files\... in all > cases, and no problems using it.

I've noticed same, above, behaviour in the Win32 Lyx;
But overall I have found Endnote export files to be most unusable
without careful filtering prior to export, it is possible though. Most
trouble appears to come from when the Abstract is exported.
To produce a key before you export I believe it is the Endnote "label"
field which needs content since this is the field converted as the Key
on export.
Once imported I then run the file through TKbibtex to auto-(re-)format
it in a manner which Lyx then handles without error.

Now I've got as far as creating a .glo file with a \makeglossary in

Bibtex author/date order
Hi List; I have a situation where I have: Ward et al. (1999a) referring to earlier work, Ward et al. (1999b) It looks as if the bibliography is alphabetically ordered based on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th authors. In the case above, because the 3rd and 4th authors are different this then places these two papers in reversed chronological order. Is there a method or "trick" that can be used to swap things in the bibliography so that: Ward et al. (1999b) can indeed refer to their earlier work, Ward et al. (1999a) Kind Regards Rob S

Using the above "trick" sorted it. :-)
As a note though: I use the Apalike bib style and the above method does
not work directly on this although it works fine for Plain style.
I needed to add the non printing {\noopsort{a}} to the Author field just
before the surname of the 3rd Author so that the alphabetical sort was
tricked at this stage rather than later at the date stage.
Hope that makes sense!!
Cheers

Include - Appendix
Dear Users; I have four appendices which I have created on individual .lyx files. All commence with the "start appendix here" command. My thesis is built around a master document in which I use the Include function for each separate file. If I "include" the appendix files the TOC shows them all as Appendix A; I would like them labelled AD of course - Can this be achieved? I would prefer to keep the bibliography at the end of the document. My Master file structure is: (all using Include apart from Bibliography) Intro Chapter 1 . . . Chapter n Appendix A .. Appendix D Bibliography Regards Rob S

Tables - general question
Dear List; My wife is using Lyx for her thesis and is finding producing neat, regular sized tables difficult. Text alignment within the table causes her the most problems (differing amounts of cell padding). Also, is it possible to use bullet lists inside a table cell? Else, Can anyone recommend an alternative (to Lyx default) table formatting package? Kind Regards Rob S

Onto aesthetics now!
In the example, row 1 height is determined by the contents of R1 C2.
In the viewers/printed page R1C1 "looks" far nicer, better use of cell
padding.
I can get the same using effect using [\vspace{0.3cm}] in R1C2 as per
attached.
Is this the only way?

Table building Wish List
Hi List;
Following a lengthy table building exercise between myself, my wife and
many of the user list regular contributors I decided to place a table
building "wish" on to the Wiki.
It has been suggested I post it here for all:
{\snip from Wiki}
Not a complaint this really, just that I can't find a suggestion/request
box!
Creating tables is mostly straight out of the box. However, the finer
tweaking of tables is a bit of a trial at the moment. Its just taken
two of us(wife and I) plus the mailing list regulars (thanks to all) the
best part of four hours to figure out how to place nice bullet lists
(using \itemize*) within a minipage, within a table cell, within a
table, with some text centered, top aligned and with nice equal looking
cell padding. The finished product is almost as my wife wants it!!!
So my request/wish would be for a better table handling gizmo-thingy and
how about an instant preview of tables as per the Math instant preview.
If I can help/test - Im willing.
{\end snip}
I've already been in contact with Angus wrt the table instant preview
but since I cannot currently compile the source it seems that I may be
limited to testing only.
Regards
Rob S

overpic package and pdflatex problem
Hi List Apologies for straying slightly with this one. I'm trying to use the overpic package from within Lyx to add text to a few graphics. I would prefer to finally compile using PdfLatex. Now I can get the package working fine with .ps images and compile with DVI - fine. Problem comes with Pdflatex not recognising the .ps file type. I've used image magick to convert image.ps to image.pdf and get an output of sorts in .pdf format But the image size is not as expected or hoped for. So my question is one of three: Either: How can I define the .pdf image size within the [TEX] command so as to trim it back to size? Or; Can I specify image size during conversion stage? Else; Does anyone know a better method to add text to an .eps/.ps image from within Lyx and still use Pdflatex to compile? TIA Rob S

In the copy of LyX on this machine (-1.3.3Qt, linux) the `` is generated
