I guarantee you, as much of a beginner as you are with LyX, I'd be 
more of a beginner on Mac. I think between 1984 and now I've logged 
about 10 hours on a Mac.

On Linux you go to CTAN, download the package, put it in your LaTeX 
tree, and run the texhash program, then in your LyX document 
properties LaTeX Preamble you put \usepackage{lastline} or 
\usepackage{totpages}, and in your actual document text follow the 
directions in the package documentation.

Since you're a newbie I'm going to give you a piece of advice -- do as 
I say, not as I do. I personally use LaTeX to finesse a lot of what I 
need to do. On the other hand, there are many people on this list who 
can instantly find a package to do what I'd spend a half a day 
finessing. Those guys are a lot more productive than I. So become one 
of them -- get really familiar with what CTAN offers, and how to 
quickly find a package to enable a certain feature. There must be an 
efficient way to do it, because a lot of people on this list can do it 
instantly.

I have one other piece of advice for you, but let's wait until you're 
in a position where you can't get your title page or other front 
matter to look like you want it, and then ask me.

 A horizontal line in the footer which is interrupted by the page number

 If you have the mboxfill package installed, you can change the page style to
 fancy (Document  Settings...  Page Layout  Headings style) and add the
 following to the preamble of your document:

 \usepackage{mboxfill}
 \cfoot{\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}\thepage\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}}

This solution is OK, but I want a rule, not a dashed line.
Unfortunately my example did not reflect his accurately.



Another solution also using fancy page headers in the document settings 
but plain tex otherwise. Put this in the preamble.

\def\hlinefill{\leavevmode\cleaders\hbox{\rule[0.6ex]{1em}{0.4pt}}\hfill}
\fancyfoot{\hlinefill~~~\thepage~~~\hlinefill}

In the above:
- 0.6ex is the height of the line (looks kind of centered)
- 1em is the width of a line segment which gets repeated to fill space
- 0.4pt is the thickness of the line (this particular choice is a 
default value elsewhere in tex)

This is what I need.


By the way, using fancy headers will add default headers, if you don't 
want them you get rid of them with

\fancyhead{}

My question is not specific to lyx but as I use lyx as a latex "frontend" I
guess it is appropriate to ask it here.

I would like to make a specific page numbering style in the footer,
something like:

 page-number ---

A horizontal line in the footer which is interrupted by the page number
in the center. Is this possible in lyx/latex? How?



If you have the mboxfill package installed, you can change the page style to
"fancy" (Document>  Settings...>  Page Layout>  Headings style) and add the
following to the preamble of your document:

\usepackage{mboxfill}
\cfoot{\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}\thepage\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}}

Paul








Another solution also using fancy page headers in the document settings 
but plain tex otherwise. Put this in the preamble.


\def\hlinefill{\leavevmode\cleaders\hbox{\rule[0.6ex]{1em}{0.4pt}}\hfill}
\fancyfoot{\hlinefill~~~\thepage~~~\hlinefill}

In the above:
- 0.6ex is the height of the line (looks kind of centered)
- 1em is the width of a line segment which gets repeated to fill space
- 0.4pt is the thickness of the line (this particular choice is a 
default value elsewhere in tex)


By the way, using fancy headers will add default headers, if you don't 
want them you get rid of them with


\fancyhead{}

Heisann Marit!

The only way I can think of is, unfortunately, through code, or ERT (Evil
Red Text).

In your document, press CTRL+L, and a red box will appear. After your front
page you could tyoe in the red box : \pagestyle{fancy}
This will change the rest of your document class. I am writing my bachelor
thesis at this moment, and have been working a lot with making
my lyx document look exactly as I want, a lot of settings and some ERT is
unfortunately mandatory.

Document - settings - page layout - fancy and two-sided is the best way
to start I think.

Re: Page numbering

The default for article (paper) has headers containing section titles (if any)
and page numbers, with the page number in the upper right of the page (except
for page 1).  Are you not getting the page numbers in the upper right corner? 
If not, are you at least getting the rest of the header?

 Hello to everybody!
 
 I have the following problem to solve in Lyx:
 
 I have a couple of graphics in floats that each fill a whole page. I want
  that these pages are inserted as subpages, that is with numberings 40a,
  40b, etc.
 
 The reason is that I am writting a thesis with a maximum page limit of 40,
  but I am allowed to count pages with graphs only as subpages.
 
 I have already searched the internet for some hours but have not found a
 solution yet. I found a latex package called subfigure , but some how this
  did not work together with the float environment.
 
 I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance !
 
Dainis,

I don't know of any easy way of doing this, but the following process should 
work:

1.  Get the numbers of subsequent pages right.  You can do this with the LaTeX 
command \setpagenumber{41} inserted after your last figure, but if you don't 
have any pages after the last figure you won't need to do this.

2. Export to PDF from LyX.

3. Use PDFTK to uncompress the PDF file.
(http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/)

4. Use a text editor on the uncompressed PDF file, and change the page numbers 
as required.

5. If needed, use the text editor on the uncompressed PDF file to change any 
references to the page numbers of the figures on the pages you just 
renumbered.  If you only used figure numbers in crossreferences, you will only 
have to change the List of Figures.

6. Use PDFTK to compress the PDF file. 

I can see some potential problems. The justification of the edited numbers 
will be off slightly. Finding the numbers to edit in the uncompressed PDF file 
could be difficult.  You could simplify that problem by using PDFTK to extract 
the pages to be edited individually, and just uncompressing them.

RE: Page numbering for subpages

[Rob Oakes]

Hi, 

This could also be done using a set of LaTeX commands following your main
body text.  This is a rough first draft, but the general procedure goes like
this:

1.) Create a variable to keep track of the current page.

2.) Redefine \thepage macro so that it will paginate the sub-figures
appropriately.  This will involve resetting the page counter

3.) Set page back to its previous value.

If you follow this procedure at every figure/subfigure groups, it should
have the desired effect.  A rough draft of the code is below.  Also, you
might consider redefining one of the float environments (or creating your
own) so that it applies these definitions automatically.  That would spare
you from needing to add them before every block of figures.
%%

% Add to the document preamble
\newcommand{\currentpage}{\relax}

End of Body Text
___

% Add the following before the first figure as ERT

% Create Value to Keep Track of the Current Page
\renewcommand{\currentpage}{\value{page}}
\setcounter{page}{0} % Set the page counter value to zero
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{\currentpage}\alph{page}} % Track the sub
pages
___

Sub-figures
___

% Add the following before the next figure as ERT

\setcounter{page}{\currentpage} % Restores the currentpage value
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}} % Restores the previous definition

%%

This is an extremely rough solution, and I haven't tested it, but it would
generally have the effect that you're looking for.

 Hello to everybody!

  40b, etc.
 
 The reason is that I am writting a thesis with a maximum page limit of 40,

 I have already searched the internet for some hours but have not found a
 solution yet. I found a latex package called subfigure , but some how this
  did not work together with the float environment.
 
 I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance !
 
Dainis,

I don't know of any easy way of doing this, but the following process should 
work:

1.  Get the numbers of subsequent pages right.  You can do this with the LaTeX 
command \setpagenumber{41} inserted after your last figure, but if you don't 
have any pages after the last figure you won't need to do this.

2. Export to PDF from LyX.

3. Use PDFTK to uncompress the PDF file.
(http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/)

4. Use a text editor on the uncompressed PDF file, and change the page numbers 
as required.

5. If needed, use the text editor on the uncompressed PDF file to change any 
references to the page numbers of the figures on the pages you just 
renumbered.  If you only used figure numbers in crossreferences, you will only 
have to change the List of Figures.

6. Use PDFTK to compress the PDF file. 

I can see some potential problems. The justification of the edited numbers 
will be off slightly. Finding the numbers to edit in the uncompressed PDF file 
could be difficult.  You could simplify that problem by using PDFTK to extract 
the pages to be edited individually, and just uncompressing them.

Re: Page numbering etc

[David Hewitt]

 1) If I want the page numbering to start on page x (or at least x = 2),
 how do I do it?
 

ERT code '\thispagestyle{empty}' will suppress page numbers

ERT code '\pagenumbering{X}' will reset the page counter and use either
X=arabic, roman, or other numbering convention

Some combo will get what you want. Might be a better way.



 2) I use Document class: article, and LyX version 1.5.3. I can't get
 'Table of Contents' to work. The only thing appearing is the headline:
 'Contents' and no more, although I have several chapters in the document.
 

LyX does not include environments for Chapters in article class (I doubt
LaTeX does either - don't know). I use Sections (not the starred versions -
Section*, e.g.) and it works fine.

See page 50 of "The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e". Better yet,
set aside some time and read the whole thing.

See the attached LyX-file.
(When you need different page numbering e.g. for the table of contents, have a look in the preamble 
of LyX's EmbeddedObjects manual to see how this is done.)

Personally, I think the preceding is about as rude as it gets, and I think all 
mailing lists should simply ignore those who can't be bothered to subscribe. 
This list has many very knowledgeable people, all of whom are very busy, and 
anything making them work harder in supplying free advice is just plain rude.

Maybe this guy should subscribe for a couple months, begin to give advice to 
others, and then take advice.

Of course, this is just one man's opinion.

  Make that two men. There are a number of issues disclosed here. First,
basic 'Netiquette has been ignored. Second, why would one post a question to
a mail list and not expect to see the answer on the list. Third, such
questions have been asked before and the answer is in the archives. Fourth,
there's a lack of understanding of TeX, LaTeX, and LyX with no indication
of how the answer was sought before asking on the list.

  However, I won't classify the request as rude, but naively foolish.

In a similar document I use the following class options in the document

The option openany should fix it for you.
