Finally, I tried throwing away the old test file and making a new one from scratch. The new test file worked perfectly well. I've noticed that it's not all that rare for LyX files to get strangely corrupted. Even if all the settings are correct, they just won't run, and you have to paste the content into a new file to get it to work. Thanks again for your help. > > > Paul > > Richard Opheim P.O.
