I'm writing my masters thesis in lyx, and as I'm writing the thesis in

have tried using the latex directive selectlanguage to select first English

as selecting the language the abstract header is displayed in. However,
the page numbering is ruined as it's reset every when reaching the second
abstract. How do I solve this? Do I simply use unnumbered chapters for the
abstracts, or is there another way around it using the abstract text class.
I had to do this once when I was in a hurry. So I made a quick fix, there
might be better methods, however it worked for me...
Copy your two abstract together and set the language to danish. Then without
using a linebreak put something like this in an ert box between the two
abstracts:
\newline
%(\newpage might work as well, depend on your style, I guess)
\begin{center}
%(or flushleft/right, depending on your style)
\large\bf{Abstract}
%(change size and bold to mach the style)
\end{center}
\hfill
What about roman numbers before the TOC, is that possible in Lyx, or do I
need to use Latex directives?
This depends on your style and you should look in the documentation for the
style to see if the behaviour can be changed. Or you could do somthing like
this in ert when you want to change pagenumberstyle:
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{roman} %or arabic
\setcounter{page}{3} % the pagenumber is reset and you have to correct it
It might give some surprising results though :).
And. what about the preface and
acknowledgements? I haven't found any way of selecting this in any of
document classes, so how do I get around this?
Again it depends on your style, if you use report(koma-skript) you have many
different choices that you could use such as dedications, and upper and lower
title backs etc.

Abstracts in multiple languages, preface and acknowledgements
Hi I'm writing my masters thesis in lyx, and as I'm writing the thesis in danish, an abstract in english (as well as one in danish) is required. I have tried using the latex directive selectlanguage to select first English (or more correctly, British) and then Danish, and that has worked ok as far as selecting the language the abstract header is displayed in. However, the page numbering is ruined as it's reset every when reaching the second abstract. How do I solve this? Do I simply use unnumbered chapters for the abstracts, or is there another way around it using the abstract text class. What about roman numbers before the TOC, is that possible in Lyx, or do I need to use Latex directives? And. what about the preface and acknowledgements? I haven't found any way of selecting this in any of document classes, so how do I get around this? Any help is appreciated Regards Andreas
