Thanks for your replies so far. I figured out, that the problem is the ctable... Does anyone has a solution for converting ctables? An image would be ok... Dominik On 16.09.2011, at 18:17, Richard Heck wrote: > On 09/16/2011 11:27 AM, Kalisch Dominik P.H. wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I have a problem

Hi, I am using Lyx 2.0.1 under OSX. I have started to type a document. The document is in French, but I have forgotten first to switch the document properties/Language from English to French. After two paragraphs I woke up and done the change, but now it continues to check the first paragraphs in
