Hello,
I am using LyX both on a Debian Unstable and a Mac OS X 1.4.1 system. It
is version 1.3.4 on the Debian box and 1.3.5 on the iBook. On the Debian
box I can use the Curriculum Vitae document template, but it is
mentioned as unavailable on the iBook. Since the iBook is becoming my

Hello all,

A common solution for that is to use a separate folder and filters for
mailinglists.

If only Linux and Windows are required, I'd recommend Inkscape. It is
much more polished and user friendly than Xfig whose UI is a bit
daunting.

Hello,
I am currently writing a scientific paper and would like to be able to
have mult-line footnotes in a two-column layout with correct

way to achieve this.

Footnotes that are that long that they will span more than one line on
paper. The problem is that in the cases this happens the next line of
text in the footnote is not indented properly. For example

Lately I have been using the lyx-qt deb from http://dpt.tuxfamily.org

Funnily enough I had already tried that before. After switching to
Lyx-QT and again running reconfigure it now gives me dif

You're in trouble here. Try typing to proceed. If that doesn't

Which is rather confusing. Does anyone have a pointer on how to solve this?

I'd like to put a reference to LyX and LaTeX in the foreword of my

Hello, I have written a thesis in LyX and usually used the pdf output
option to make it usable for my coach. Faculty standards however
require a electronic version in a single file that is readable by
MS-Word. PDF is not readably by Word. So far I haven't found any free
tools to convert my documen

Well, I am not in favour of these either, but there isn't a terrible

I have contacted them in the meantime. They want to be able to analyse

I have version 1.2 as well and the version you sent is worse. If you
look at the DVI you still see an empty title page, followed by a

OK, then the way LyX handles the size of a picture is a problem. Take
the original example I send, get the picture I mentioned in it and scale
it to 60% instead of the 70% in the document. You'll end up

Boy, do I feel stupid.
Scaling it somewhat down does indeed do the trick.
How come LyX is able to put the whole shebang together on a singl

Hi,
I have put some brainfarts on what I think should be the underlying
principles of the ideal document processor, they can be found here:

It is just a matter of unpacking the tarball, entering the lyx-1.2.3

KLyX has been dead for years. 1.3pre2 can be compiled with a QT frontend
