Please try with your Lyx and see if it is true for you also, then give me the response, and thanks a lot in advance! What you in fact need to do is ensure that any of the items that are in the wrong language. Select everything that needs to be in Portueguese and go to Edit Text Style.

Re: Caption and graphics within the same paragraph?!

Presentations using LyX

2005-10-12 Thread Daniel Watkins
I've read quite a lot about using LyX to create presentations, along with such words as Beamer and FoilTeX being thrown around. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to explain how LyX can be used in such a way, or point me to a website which would do the same? Cheers, Dan

All the developers will be glad to hear that this isn't actually a bug report! :P One of the developers is likely to say this sooner or later (and I've seen it said in a few individual bug reports), but I thought I'd add this now, to save them time (scarce resources being what they are). Bug
