A template for a wedding service
Hi list, A friend is getting married in a few months and I want to typeset the order of service for him. The layout will be pretty simple - before I launch into it, has anyone done something similar to this that could offer some pointers? Cheers, Tim

That worked perfectly. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Insert identical custom header on each page
Hi, I am submitting a document which must have my student number at the top right of each page. What is the easiest way to do this? I don't need anything else at the top, just the number. Tim
Question about Bibtex - which is the best GUI?
Hi, I plan on using Bibtex to handle the citations needed for a series of essays I am writing. I have come across two Java GUIs, JabRef and Bib-it and an OS X one, BibDesk. I'm happy to try them all out but I was wondering if people had experience with these programs or others and which they would recommend? Tim

Actually, sorry - I have searched and it turns out I don't have
Helvetica on my PC. I'll try and find it somewhere and see if that
fixes things.

Thanks for that. I'm probably missing something simple but I've run
into the following errors - not sure what to do as I know I have
Helvetica on my PC (I'm using LyX on Windows).
Font \footfont=phvr at 8.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
...4em\Color{.3 .75 .75 .0}{www.myweb.site}}}
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font='.
Font \headfont=phvr at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
\vskip-1ex\Color{.3 .75 .75 .0}{\hrulefill}}}

Creating personalised letterheads
Hi, I want to use LyX to write letters with. I've already experimented with using the supplied LyX letter template but would like to adapt it further. My needs are pretty simple - just a line along the top with my contact details followed by horizontal rule. After that would be the standard letter details of address etc. Are there any existing templates that would provide examples of this kind of formatting? Alternatively, what would be simple LaTeX markup that would provide this? Thanks, Tim
Is it possible to create pull-outs when working with 2 or more columns?
Hi list, I'm trying to decide how usable LyX is for creating magazine articles. One feature I would need would be the ability to create pull-outs. A pull-out is a short quote, often in a larger font, that sits between two columns. It is useful for adding emphasis to a short chunk of text. Any tips on how I might do this? Thanks, Tim
