Do you have the accent on the keybord? (For me, inputting umlaut-keys (äöü)

However, marking the word in the Text with the mouse, pressing ^C and then
inserting with Middle-Click inserts the correct word and also finds it.
Another workaround would be to save the file, do the replacement action in a

If you have 2 multicolumn cells side by side, and you want a double vertical
rule then the latex code should be
\multicolumn{1}{c||}{Foo}
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{Bar}
As I said before, you should not put | before the column type letter!
Currently, LyX incorrectly generates the following code:
\multicolumn{1}{c||}{Foo}
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Bar}

You should get at least lyx 1.1.5fix2 (or 1.1.6fix1 if you do not rely

figure float with caption next to image

caption that is next to the image, not above or below. In LaTeX I'd do
that like
\begin{figure*}

\begin{minipage}[b]{0.33\textwidth}

Is there a way to do that in LyX natively, i.e. without ERT? I tried
minipages, but it wouldn't work :-(

In addition, how can I enter a blank line? (Right now, I am using standard and when I press RETURN it just stays at the begining of the same empty line.) Does lyx offer any tools for this? I'll give you the bad news first: while LyX/LaTeX can be forced to do this sort of thing, it really isn't the optimal tool for it. LyX excels at typsetting manuscripts, not poster-style page layout (this is why the two carriage returns don't work - one doesn't do that sort of thing in a printed manuscript). If you are using Linux/UNIX, I would suggest trying a drawing tool like xfig to prepare your questionaire. It's trivial to lay out your lines, checkboxes, and text with it. If you really want to do it with LyX, you will need a fair amount of raw LaTeX code to make it look right, and since you mentioned that you were new to LaTeX, it will not be a quick learning process. By using hrules, fboxes, and phantoms (or picture environments to avoid the above), you can set up the lines and checkboxes you need, but again, it will be messy. Good luck. Try xfig, or ask here again - there are a number of wizards here who could probably give you a template for what you want in a hurry, but it won't be pretty.

Make a backup copy of your .lyx file and edit the .lyx file with an
ordinary text editor.

do you really mean a _regular_ expression? (Something like fo.+l for foil
and fojl and forumlautl and ...?) As far as I know, LyX search/replace
doesnot work with regular expressions.

Do you have the accent on the keybord? (For me, inputting umlaut-keys (äöü)
works fine, but it does not work when I use the "Compose-Key ´ a" sequence.)
However, marking the word in the Text with the mouse, pressing ^C and then
inserting with Middle-Click inserts the correct word and also finds it.
Another workaround would be to save the file, do the replacement action in a
"normal" text editor and do Datei|Wiederherstellen (File|Recover) to load it
again. This is how I do replacements in math-boxes.

If you have 2 multicolumn cells side by side, and you want a double vertical
rule then the latex code should be
\multicolumn{1}{c||}{Foo}&
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{Bar}&
As I said before, you should not put | before the column type letter!
Currently, LyX incorrectly generates the following code:
\multicolumn{1}{c||}{Foo}&
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Bar}&

The handling of accents in popups has been introduced in xforms
0.89.6. However, it collides with handling of accents in lyx 1.1.3.
You should get at least lyx 1.1.5fix2 (or 1.1.6fix1 if you do not rely
heaviliy on tables) if you switch to xforms 0.89.6.
Hope this helps.

You got me! #:O)
Thanks for the good explanation. I did understand you wrong before.
I thought you said that in multicolumns one shouldn't use || at all.
The above should be quite easy to correct. I'll have a look and see if
I can correct this also in 1.1.6.
Ciao,
Jürgen

BibTeX references as a Part*
Hi, I'm using BibTeX in an article (language: frenchb) and I would like the generated references to appear like a real "Part*" of the document, I mean to see "References" in a font larger than the sections names one. Is it possible ? Thanks for your help. Thomas.

Cross-reference between multiple files
Hello list, I'm building a document of multiple files (chapters). In one chapter i want to cross reference a section of another chapter... So, I open chapter X, insert->Cross Reference, switch documents (Documents->chapterY.lyx) and... well nothing after that because my Cross Reference popup disappears! Is there another way to switch documents? Which way would leave the Xref popup intact?

figure float with caption next to image
Hi all,
As the subject tells, I'm trying to get a (wide) figure float with a
caption that is next to the image, not above or below. In LaTeX I'd do
that like
\begin{figure*}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.66\textwidth}
\resizebox*{1\textwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{fig1.eps}}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.33\textwidth}
\caption{\label{AR8704}A speckle reconstructed image of sunspot NOAA
8704. The arrow marks the direction towards disk center.}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure*}
Is there a way to do that in LyX natively, i.e. without ERT? I tried
minipages, but it wouldn't work :-(

Ispell and Lyx 1.1.6fix1
Hey, I got a Problem with Lyx 1.1.6fix1 (Suse 7.1) and Ispell. In the Bearbeiten - Einstellungen -Rechtschreibprüfung I got under "andere Sprache verwenden" german and under "Pers. Wörterbuch verwenden" home/meinWörterbuch. "Input Encoding erlauben" and "Zusammengeschriebene Wörter erlauben" is activated. When Ispell finds a word like "sogenannten" it shows me "sogenannte + n" but not "sogenannten" or "Info + s" not "Infos" I seems Ispell has sometimes Problems with those words. Has anyone some idea?

it's the same situation like two figures or two tables or the
combination of them:
1. open wide float
2. insert caption and float as usual
3. put cursor left or right from image
4. layout->paragraph->extra->Minipage
and Begin new Minipage (only needed,
when caption under image, but it's
a good thing to do it anyway)
5. put cursor inside caption line
4. layout->paragraph->extra->Minipage
and Begin new Minipage
and hfill between minipage paragraphs
thats all
have a look at the attached ps-file.

That one did the trick! Don't know why I didn't try it before :-( Yes, works fine now with one exception: I cannot use the full \textwidth for sizing the minipage. I have a two-column layout, and LyX automatically uses \columnwidth (and doesn't allow me to use more than 100%). Would be nice to have the choice here, too, like in the eps-figure menu Thanks again, Pit -- ~~ Dr. Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.astro.uu.nl/~suetter Sterrenkundig Instituut Utrecht Tel.: +31 (0)30 253 5225 [EMAIL PROTECTED] __

writing a questionnaire, checkboxes, blank lines

I'll give you the bad news first: while LyX/LaTeX can be forced to do this sort of thing, it really isn't the optimal tool for it.
