Re: How to use thesaurus in Mac OS X

[Xie Chao]

Thank you very much Abdelrazak and Bennett.

Is there any shortcut to use Dictionary.app in LyX? I know in coca
applications such as Safari Ctrl+Apple+D works; how can I configure
equivalent shortcut in LyX.
Thank you very much!

Xie Chao

How to use thesaurus in Mac OS X

[Xie Chao]

Hi,

I am using LyX 1.6.2 on Mac OS X Leopard.  How can I get the thesaurus
function work? I installed Aiksaurus, and it is working fine from command
line terminal. However, there is no "thesaurus" option under "Tools" menu
(LyX was reconfigured and reinstalled).

Thank you very much!

Re: Embedding documents/text files in PDF

[Xie Chao]

Is it because lyx is trying to compile your file in a temp folder, but the
file you want to attach was not copied over to the temp location, so a
relative path (relative to the actual lyx file, not the temp file) doesn't
work?

I am also new to lyx, so lyxers, please correct me if I am wrong.

Xie Chao

Re: Embedding documents/text files in PDF

[Xie Chao]

I guess you are looking for this:
http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/contrib/attachfile/attachfile.pdf

You can use this LaTeX package to attach files in your PDF.
