Sorry for that. I copied that because I use Chromium but BBC still doesn't support HTML5 videos so often copy/paste over to Chrome to watch Flash videos. I don't know how I accidentally pasted it in.

Please let us know if you have any other suggestions. Even if we write something that is technically correct but not clear, if you have an idea to make it more clear we are interested in that type of suggestion as well.

Oops. That was supposed to be "delete", not "send". I eventually figured out where my confusion lay: the doc says "choose Enumerate from the Environment box (...)' Pow!" The parenthetical is an icon of the "enumerate" list; I took that to mean that I should choose from whatever showed up when clicking that icon in the toolbar (which was unrelated to list environment types). In fact, it's the icon *for* the Environment box (which is itself a drop-down menu). I tend to be a literalist, which makes reading documentation a bit of a trial for me :-} So, no harm, no foul. Thanks for alerting me to the fact that I "sent" the email. Justin -- Justin C.

LyX Version 1.6.0(Fri, Nov 7, 2008) under openSUSE 10.3 64 bit
- installed from source, not from SUSE repository. (The SUSE Repository
actually just provides version 1.5.2.0.)
I recommend to upgrade to LyX 1.6.1. We provide a SUSE installation package for
it:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.1/
If I try to convert ps2pdf or pdflatex or dvipdfm I get the following

\marginpar is a basic LaTeX command without the need to load a special LaTeX-package. Therefore it
should work on every LaTeX system. Can you compile documents where you use margin notes?
I have another LyX version 1.5.2.0 on openSuse 10.3 64 bit on another
machine that does not make problems,
So the problem must be your LaTeX installation.
