RE: LyX + WinME + MikTeX
If you download all the necessary files from the LyX for Win32 page (including the ghostscript4.03 - version there) there should be no problem. You can extract ghostscript manually by copying gs-4.03.tar.gz to your Cygwin root directory and executing "tar -xvzf gs-4.03.tar.gz". Of course you need a Ghostscript - Version too for Windows (try Aladdin Ghostscript) After that you have to run the "SetupGS403.sh" from a shell within your X-Server or Cygwin. Then start LyX and exit. Now a "preferences" file is in your ".lyx" - Directory in your home directory. Insert the following line into the preferences file \ps_command "/apps/gs4.03/bin/gs" After that LyX should be able todisplay EPS files. For making or exporting dvi or ps you'll need to install the FULL MiKTeX 2.1 version. Otherwise there are several *.sty - files mising. You can download them from http://www.bestkevin.com/Download/various/sty/ After downloading and saving within your localtexmf directory you should run "initexmf -u". If you have set the PATH for MiKTeX binaries (C:\Programme\MiKTeX\miktex\bin) correctly then everything should work fine. It's very helpful to have a look at the latex - log - file. (View -- Latex logfile). There you can see whether are STY files or something is missing or not. Christoph

Problem with versions in SuSE 7.1 and 7.2 for i86
Hello world, years ago I changed to lyx because of its stability and ability to handle large documents (i.e. 900 pages catalogue). But since I updated my computer from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 with LyX 1.1.5fix1 a few weeks ago I could not load that large document any more, because tables 5 are not supported anymore ... ? And I need a lot of them ... So I upgraded to SuSE 7.2 recently, with Lyx 1.1.6, hoping the newer version will have returned to that feature: The document can be loaded again (it is nearly 6 MB big), but running LateX to see the dvi or pdf-result _never_ends_ - even after hours! With the older versions everything worked fine, expect that a LaTeX-run took up to 10 minutes, but this - I think - is normal on a 200 MHz laptop :-) Unfortunately, I cannot re-install the older SuSE-distribution, because I gave the CDs away. And even if I had them here: downgrading the distribution seems to mean to re-install the whole linux-system ... Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanx Bernd

Re: LyX + WinME + MikTeX
Hi Christoph, Thank you very much for your help. I got it much sooner but had to come home to try your points. Here is the outcome. My installation of LyX dates back to yesterday :) so quite up-to-date. I got the required files for LyX, put them in a dir and ran setup(from cygwin) and asked it to install from that dir and it recognized the existence of all packages except GS403 ! Now, I did the same to see if it would change anything and it did not recognize anything to be installed! Does the setup check to see if those packages are already installed or not? Then I manually installed the GS as you said. Excuse me if I am not that good in BASH, but how do I run a shell script like: SetupGS403.sh ? I tried a few ways and it didn't run :( Anyway, the main problem is to follow. When I installed MikTeX a few weeks ago, their setup program was not complete or for some other reason it did not allow me to do a full install, well when I asked it to do so, it just didn't find any FTP from which I could download so I did a fairly full install :) To be sure that it was not the problem with my case, I reinstalled MikTeX 2.1 today which worked fine and it is now a full full installation. BUT, the main problem is still there! I open LyX, it seems to be all right, I import a LaTeX file, it creates its own lyx version out of it and then it is the conversion time. I ask it to convert to DVI, PS, whatever, and it says it is doing it and done and so on and so forth (if I manually do not create the DVI (out of LyX), it complains when I ask to export to PS, because no DVI is there but if it is there, it says done and STILL nothing is produced, no DVI, no PS, no PDF. I am really clueless because it does not complain at all and does not give me a hint of what is missing. At first, when the original configuration was there, it did not find windvi which is normal and I changed it to YAP and it did no more complaints but it could not do the conversion either case! When I ask to view the dvi that I produced outside LyX, it searches for it in: c:\cygwin\tmp\lyx_tmpdir766193766193\lyx_tmpbuf0\1.dvi and not in: c:\MyFiles\LyX\doc\1.dvi and when I ask to export to DVI, it creates an EMPTY file in the tmp dir, 1.tex.dep PART II: As for the styles, first of all, I've to say that there has never been a LOG file in LyX! I guess it should be there when I try to export a DVI but under no circumstances, a log file was created! I also copied all those STY files and ran the initexmf -u but nothing changed. My PATH is all right because WinEdt does anything thatit is supposed to do (latex, dvips, pdflatex, etc) without complaining. Anyone please could help me to see where I am going wrong?

Flush footnote indentation (was: Footnote on the next page)
Cheers! Herbert got the solution! For all Lyx users
who want their footnote indentation to look like this:
text
--
1 bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla.
2 bla.
For Lyx 1.1.5 (I tested) write in latex preamble:
\newlength{\myFootnoteWidth}\setlength{\myFootnoteWidth}{\columnwidth}\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em}
% you canchange the number if you
like\addtolength{\myFootnoteWidth}{-\myFootnoteLabel}\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{%
\noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
\parbox[t]{\myFootnoteWidth}{#1}%}
For Lyx 1.1.6 (AFAIK Herbert tested) it should be enough to write in latex
preamble:
\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em} % you
canchange the number if you like\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{
% \noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
\parbox{\columnwidth -\myFootnoteLabel}{#1}%}
And the former problem that a footnote appeared on the next pageis
solved, too.
Additionally, AFAIK, footnotes aren't split anymore.
Maybe Herbert takes this solution on his website?! :-)

But since I updated my computer from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 with LyX 1.1.5fix1 a few weeks ago I could not load that large document any more, because tables 5 are not supported anymore ... ? And I need a lot of them ... So I upgraded to SuSE 7.2 recently, with Lyx 1.1.6, hoping the newer version will have returned to that feature: The document can be loaded again (it is nearly 6 MB big), but running LateX to see the dvi or pdf-result _never_ends_ - even after hours! With the older versions everything worked fine, expect that a LaTeX-run took up to 10 minutes, but this - I think - is normal on a 200 MHz laptop :-) Unfortunately, I cannot re-install the older SuSE-distribution, because I gave the CDs away. And even if I had them here: downgrading the distribution seems to mean to re-install the whole linux-system ... Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanx Bernd

Re: LyX + WinME + MikTeX
Hi Christoph, Thank you very much for your help. I got it much sooner but had to come home to try your points. Here is the outcome. My installation of LyX dates back to yesterday :) so quite up-to-date. I got the required files for LyX, put them in a dir and ran setup(from cygwin) and asked it to install from that dir and it recognized the existence of all packages except GS403 ! Now, I did the same to see if it would change anything and it did not recognize anything to be installed! Does the setup check to see if those packages are already installed or not? Then I manually installed the GS as you said. Excuse me if I am not that good in BASH, but how do I run a shell script like: SetupGS403.sh ? I tried a few ways and it didn't run :( Anyway, the main problem is to follow. When I installed MikTeX a few weeks ago, their setup program was not complete or for some other reason it did not allow me to do a full install, well when I asked it to do so, it just didn't find any FTP from which I could download so I did a fairly full install :) To be sure that it was not the problem with my case, I reinstalled MikTeX 2.1 today which worked fine and it is now a full full installation. BUT, the main problem is still there! I open LyX, it seems to be all right, I import a LaTeX file, it creates its own lyx version out of it and then it is the conversion time. I ask it to convert to DVI, PS, whatever, and it says it is doing it and done and so on and so forth (if I manually do not create the DVI (out of LyX), it complains when I ask to export to PS, because no DVI is there but if it is there, it says done and STILL nothing is produced, no DVI, no PS, no PDF. I am really clueless because it does not complain at all and does not give me a hint of what is missing. At first, when the original configuration was there, it did not find windvi which is normal and I changed it to YAP and it did no more complaints but it could not do the conversion either case! When I ask to view the dvi that I produced outside LyX, it searches for it in: c:\cygwin\tmp\lyx_tmpdir766193766193\lyx_tmpbuf0\1.dvi and not in: c:\MyFiles\LyX\doc\1.dvi and when I ask to export to DVI, it creates an EMPTY file in the tmp dir, 1.tex.dep PART II: As for the styles, first of all, I've to say that there has never been a LOG file in LyX!

Flush footnote indentation (was: Footnote on the next page)
Cheers! Herbert got the solution! For all Lyx users
who want their footnote indentation to look like this:
text
--
1 bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla.
2 bla.
For Lyx 1.1.5 (I tested) write in latex preamble:
\newlength{\myFootnoteWidth}\setlength{\myFootnoteWidth}{\columnwidth}\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em}
% you canchange the number if you
like\addtolength{\myFootnoteWidth}{-\myFootnoteLabel}\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{%
\noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
\parbox[t]{\myFootnoteWidth}{#1}%}
For Lyx 1.1.6 (AFAIK Herbert tested) it should be enough to write in latex
preamble:
\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em} % you
canchange the number if you like\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{
% \noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
\parbox{\columnwidth -\myFootnoteLabel}{#1}%}
And the former problem that a footnote appeared on the next pageis
solved, too.
Additionally, AFAIK, footnotes aren't split anymore.
Maybe Herbert takes this solution on his website?! :-)
Thanks again!

RE: LyX + WinME + MikTeX
If you download all the necessary files from the LyX for Win32 page (including the ghostscript4.03 - version there) there should be no problem. You can extract ghostscript manually by copying gs-4.03.tar.gz to your Cygwin root directory and executing "tar -xvzf gs-4.03.tar.gz". Of course you need a Ghostscript - Version too for Windows (try Aladdin Ghostscript) After that you have to run the "SetupGS403.sh" from a shell within your X-Server or Cygwin.

Don't put it in the preamble, all you need to do is put it in the
document layout.
Menu: Layout -> Document
gives a window.
Pick the Document tab.
Select, from the Fonts: menu
times
or
pslatex
and your default fonts will be the ones most portable for PDF -- Times,
Helvetica, Courier.
If you want something which will produce decent PDF, the trick is, you
have to be using Postscript Type1 fonts, *not* TeX Metafont. If you
use Metafont, when the document is translated into PDF, the font will
become an ugly bitmapped fonts, wheras (if you have a version of
Ghostscript higher than 5.50) with a Type1 font, a non-default font will
be translated into an outline, which looks nicer than a bitmap.

bold horizontal line in table
hello, I just come from M. Voss website. I want to draw two bold horizontal lines in a table: The first one is the first top line of the table The second one is the last bottom line of the table I use the following latex commands: \toprule[2pt] and \bottomrule[2pt]. It nearly works for the top line (I will explain later what is the problem) but it doesn't work for the last line. I tried to put the latex command in the last cell, out of the table but it doesn't work. For the first line, the bold line is drawn as I wanted but the connections between the horizontal line and the vertical lines are not correct. What can I do to have connected lines. YC

Of course you need a Ghostscript - Version too for Windows (try Aladdin Ghostscript) After that you have to run the "SetupGS403.sh" from a shell within your X-Server or Cygwin. Then start LyX and exit. Now a "preferences" file is in your ".lyx" - Directory in your home directory. Insert the following line into the preferences file \ps_command "/apps/gs4.03/bin/gs" After that LyX should be able to display EPS files. For making or exporting dvi or ps you'll need to install the FULL MiKTeX 2.1 version. Otherwise there are several *.sty - files mising. You can download them from http://www.bestkevin.com/Download/various/sty/ After downloading and saving within your localtexmf directory you should run "initexmf -u". If you have set the PATH for MiKTeX binaries (C:\Programme\MiKTeX\miktex\bin) correctly then everything should work fine. It's very helpful to have a look at the latex - log - file. (View --> Latex logfile). There you can see whether are STY files or something is missing or not. Christoph
Flush footnote indentation (was: Footnote on the next page)
Cheers! Herbert got the solution! For all Lyx users
who want their footnote indentation to look like this:
text
--
1 bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla.
2 bla.
For Lyx 1.1.5 (I tested) write in latex preamble:
\newlength{\myFootnoteWidth}\setlength{\myFootnoteWidth}{\columnwidth}\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em}
% you can change the number if you
like\addtolength{\myFootnoteWidth}{-\myFootnoteLabel}\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{%
\noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
\parbox[t]{\myFootnoteWidth}{#1}%}
For Lyx 1.1.6 (AFAIK Herbert tested) it should be enough to write in latex
preamble:
\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em} % you
can change the number if you like\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{
% \noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
\parbox{\columnwidth -\myFootnoteLabel}{#1}%}
And the former problem that a footnote appeared on the next page is
solved, too.
Additionally, AFAIK, footnotes aren't split anymore.
Maybe Herbert takes this solution on his website?! :-)
Thanks again!
Detlev
