Hi Uwe,

Just want to send you a big THANK YOU - this is a wonderful document! 
I especially like your approach of not refraining from falling back to 
ERT boxes, but providing lots of examples to achieve things with just a 
little bit of extra LaTeX code.


For people like me, who have started with LyX without any LaTeX 
background this is just perfect. I really do not mind to have to insert 
LaTeX snippets for certain formattings and other advanced stuff. The 
tedious and frustrating part is, however, to find the right snippets and 
packages and to understand where exactly to insert the ERT boxes and how 
they interact with the LyX code. Your manual provides exactly this kind 
of information.


Just two suggestions:

1) An example, how to define the character style (font, size) to be used 
as default for all cells of a table would be cool.


2) An example, how to modify the in-cell margins (the space between the 
table grid lines and the actual cell data) would be great as well. IMHO, 
the LyX/LaTeX defaults waste way to much space here, however, all my 
attempts to change this have failed so far :-(




Personal side comment: Having tried a couple of times, I still think 
that LaTeX really sucks compared to visual tools like Word or Excel if 
it comes to creating non-trivial tables.  This is especially true, if 
one has to build dense, space-optimized tables which present a huge set 
of information in as little space as possible e.g. because there is some 
page-limit. The manual fiddling with column-widths, in-cell line breaks 
and stuff like that is just painful and the graphical table editor in 
LyX is not really helpful for this task either, as one has to control 
the output anyway. Often the LyX-Representation is even 
contra-intuitive: One has to set very small column width in LyX (which 
makes the cells in the LyX-Editor almost unreadable and uneditable) to 
get the optimal width in the DVI/PDF output.


As a consequence, I often end up in designing my tables with Word or 
Excel and printing them into an EPS file...


There is one exception, though. The LaTeX support for long tables is

Redefining environments

2006-11-08 Thread Karl Patschinsky

I really want to use LyX for writing my dissertation, but the uni has a
specific style they require. Is there a simple way to redefine the various
environments? If the only way to change the settings is through the
Character dialog and such tweeking with the layout menu I might as well use
a standard word processor because it's going to be just as time consuming.


lyx to word conversion

2006-11-08 Thread hansel
This was recently discussed and I thought (hoped) I would never have to do 
it and never followed closely.  I did search the lyx-users archive back to 
early August '06 without luck. (Social Forces requires manuscripts only as

The pretty-good solutions I think of require error-inviting fix-ups. The 
best I find is latex2rtf, and rtf import to openoffice, then cut and past 
the bibliography as text and hand fix. However, this leaves documentation 
as bibtex index terms. Is there a postscript to rtf tool? I found one 
commercial converter. While I am no purist re open source, I won't buy 
software to use once or twice.

Has anyone found an elegant and complete unix solution (perhaps an rtf 
DEVICE for gs)? I fear that in the social sciences (and possibly

standard. If so, those of us who stick with 'nix tools will need the

Using the split or gathered environments may do what you want,
or use eqnarray (multiline equation) and do Alt-m shift-n to suppress numbering
on the current line (lyx uses eqnarray* which doesn't number equations by

Not sure exactly what you mean by 'environments', but if you're  
talking about the chapter or section headings and various other  
formatting concerns like this. Take a look at the documentation for  
the 'koma-script' and 'memoir' document classes. There is almost  
nothing that cannot be changed to suite a specific style.


I ran into this issue myself with my thesis and I'm using the memoir  
class for personal preference and have modified everything to my

Re: Redefining environments

Not sure exactly what you mean by 'environments', but if you're  
talking about the chapter or section headings and various other  
formatting concerns like this. Take a look at the documentation for  
the 'koma-script' and 'memoir' document classes. There is almost  
nothing that cannot be changed to suite a specific style.


I ran into this issue myself with my thesis and I'm using the memoir  
class for personal preference and have modified everything to my  
liking. A quick google search for 'memoir class documentation' will  
provide you with a +300 page guide on everything that can be altered  
to fit your needs.


Stay far far away from Wor$ is my recommendation.

Thanks for your help on this matter.  Too bad we never could figure out
where the problem was.  Oh well.


Well, I always hate to leave a debugging question unanswered, but some 
problems are just too weird to be worth the effort of cracking them.


Glad you're back in business.

An excellent resource for things like those is Herbert Voss's MathMode
guide, available for free at:

Boxes in LyX

How does one confine text and prevent it from spilling out of a minipage
box? Am using LyX 1.4.3 under Windows XP.
Thanks in advance.

No problem. I would also suggest that you verify whether the problem only
occurs when there are graphics.

Have a look at the corresponding sections in the "Extended-Insets" manual:

Re: Boxes in LyX

2006-11-08 Thread Mohan V. Chunkath

Dear Uwe,
Thanks for the prompt guidance. Am still a bit confused. I am attempting to
create a minipage with a centred graphic and below it a few paragraphs which
are justified. When I attempt to do this I am unable to create new
paragraphs within the minipage and my lines are center justified. I am sure
there is an obvious workaround but I am unable to figure it out. Thanks in
advance.
