Hi. I seem to have a strange problem with the Beamer class. I have looked for information on this but I haven't found anything. Basically the problem is that the table of contents doesn't seem to work at all for beamer documents that I create, but strangely enough, it does seem to work with the

2006-03-13 Thread Tim Vaughan
Hi list, I'm trying to decide how usable LyX is for creating magazine articles. One feature I would need would be the ability to create pull-outs. A pull-out is a short quote, often in a larger font, that sits between two columns. It is useful for adding emphasis to a short chunk of text. Any
