Re: Inserting a very large skip that does not apply.

Brilliant! I knew it was something simple but not obvious to me.

Thanks a lot.

Put a “protected space” before the skip. 
insert -> formatting -> protected space

Inserting a very large skip that does not apply.

I clearly am missing something obvious. I just want to place a line of text
in the centre of a landscape page.

I thought I could just insert a fairly large custom skip and that should do
it but the skip seems be ignored.

Any suggestions?  MWE attached

Lyx-Miktex problems on Windows 10

[Guillermo Cruces]

Hi everyone, I have been a Lyx user for years. Awesome program! Every version 
change has been a bit bumpy, but a reconfigure used to work. Not now. Here are 
my issues, just posted on stackexchange too:

I have issues with packages with Lyx 2.2 on Windows 10. I have updated packages 
on MikTex as admin, I have changed the option to ask me first instead of update 
packages on the fly (even though I selected ask me first during install, it 
still got set at on the fly), I have updated directories on miktex options 
(admin), I have reconfigured lyx, and nothing. When I open a beamer file, it 
says the beamer.cls (and set space and many others are available) and while it 
asks for downloading them within lyx, they don't seem to "stick".

I have managed to compile my file by going to the Miktex package manager (as 
admin) and installing manually every package that lyx complained was not 
available. I get a PDF (although it complains the PDF viewer is missing...). 
While it compiles, it still complains that the beamer class, xcolor, etc., are 
not available when opening the file.
It seems to me something in the settings/update/confir of Lyx+Miktex is not 
working. Anyone can confirm this? Any solutions? I'll try running Lyx as admin 
just in case...

Thanks!
