Copy and paste from Lyx
Hello, I am new to this list and joined because I am using Lyx more and more as my preferred word processor. I must have overlooked something, but find I am unable to copy and paste text from Lyx to my email program [kmail] simple or advanced text editors[kedit, kate]? But can copy to Openoffice.org, and then into the above. Is there are simple straight from Lyx way? I have RTFM and the FAQ and have looked through the archives. Maybe It is otherwise described, in terminology my mind can't grasp. So I am here to ask for assistance.

Re: Copy and paste from Lyx
Thanks Oisin, But holding down shift makes no difference. Every other proggy and app allow copy and paste with either copy and paste, or two mouse button click, into each other. Lyx allows copy into it, but when highlighted and then copy paste or two mouse click, nothing at all out of it. Except into Openoffice.org, which I love. But sometimes I want to just place text into an email. This may be a bug in Lyx, for me it is a big one. It makes a huge difference and keeps me away from it a lot, or I would use it solely. Thanks for the information anyway. Charlie On Fri, 31 Mar 2006 09:20 am, Oisin C.

All document classes are unavailable......
Using LyX version 2.0.0beta4 (Monday, 7 February 2011) On Debian testing on two systems. On one, the latest upgraded system, all the document classes are unavailable without exception. Yet the document classes that are said to be absent are all present. I cannot access the /usr/share/texmf file. It gives me an error message that I don't have permission to read that directory. Transferring it to my home directory and changing the permissions and access so I can read it, makes no difference. This after texhashing and reconfiguring and jumping through all manner of hoops, including uninstalling and reinstalling LyX. This system, which I won't upgrade at the moment because of the problem with the other, has all document classes available, but hasn't been upgraded for some days, mainly because an upgrade will remove texlive. Just a heads up for other users. I assume it will be fixed by an upgrade in the future.

This is just one man's opinion, but I never use the document

copyright page, the dedication and acknowledgements, the here's
how you use this book, the about the author, etc. The way I see
it, every element of the frontmatter is a one-off thing, and
one-off things are ideal for fingerpainting.
I actually go one step further. I crate all of the frontmatter using
a matching stylesheet in Scribs. I then add the material using
PDFpages.
To that end, I also disable the \maketitle macro so that I can still
use \author, \title, etc. and have all of my headers and footers look
correct.
\renewcommand{\maketitle}{}
Tried your good idea Rob:
Created a front page
and used Insert-File-External Material
Inserted the .pdf document, but couldn't get it to be placed on the
first page in either article (KOMA-Script) or book (KOMA-Script)
It always inserted onto page 2 - obviously missing something or doing
something wrong.
Could you please give me a hint what that might be.
As always - Thanks in advance,

Further to this Steve,
I couldn't for the life of me get the thing working as you describe. I
tried the above commands in the preamble, in the LaTeX options when the
file was inserted, as ERT and none worked in article (KOMA-Script)
Tried every combination I could think of, but no joy. All manner of
error messages.
So I went back to book (KOMA-Script) Insert-Graphics and into the
directory where the .pdf document was located. Then inserted the .pdf
front page as a graphic, and without any further ado it came onto the
front page. That was it.
I was surprised that the .pdf was shown as a graphic, but that was an
advantage, not a problem.
Painless as it turned out, and simpler than trying to insert it as a
file.
Thanks again for your help.

However, there's no doubt that you haven't received enough thanks and appreciation over the time you and everyone who works/ed on the Debian version of LyX. So please allow me to thank you now. I'm just a user, but use Lyx for just about everything to do with word processing and can only say I love it. Every morning I fire up my computer, I fire up LyX and marvel at its magic. I freely admit that if I had to pay for such a great program I couldn't afford it, and if I could afford it, would probably have been restricted by and stayed with a more expensive and in my opinion lesser quality program for the purpose. If I could write code or whatever is used to maintain a Debian package, and had time available, I would work on LyX because of the work it has done and the pleasure it has delivered to me. So from myself and I'm certain the tens of thousands who use Debian and LyX: Thank you for your work, time and dedication for helping to make it brilliant. Good luck with your next endeavours.

In Tools -Preferences-Paths I point LyX to the templates directory in my home partition. Where I keep all the templates I've created: for meeting minutes, letters with various letterheads and such things. If I need templates that come with LyX, I just place them in that directory on my home partition, tweak them as required and leave them there. So just create a directory, place your templates into that directory and point LyX through Tools -Preferences-Paths-Document templates to that directory it will look after itself.

article (KOMA-Script) class
If this section is added to the preamble:

{\thesection.}{.5em}{}
The subsection does not display other than the section number i.e,
Section 2
Shows only subsection 2 and 2 and 2
Rather than subsection 2.1 and 2.2 and 2.3
The above addition worked for previous LyX versions and is in various
of my templates, but doesn't work now.
I have gone through the preamble, line by line, to isolate this section
and discover it's the problem.
Can someone please troubleshoot this for me and tell me what I'm doing
wrong here, or rather have done wrong. I don't know where to start.

Have you tried converting one of the problem TIFFs to PNG at a command prompt using the newly installed version of IM? Does it convert correctly? If so, try putting the path to the IM convert program in Tools Preferences ... Paths PATH Prefix (then save and restart LyX) to ensure that LyX is using the full version. Paul Have you tried renaming it with the .tif extension. There are some programs that don't like the double ff. Just a thought. I have no problem using tif graphics in Lyx. Maybe worth a try. Otherwise sorry for the noise.

Hi,
How do I create a footer on every page of my document? I'm using the
book document class and have a \rfoot{xxx} in my preamble, but the
footer is only displayed on the first page.
Regards,
Marco
I've been watching this thread, hoping that someone might come up with
something that works.
I doubt this will help. But I use this format in letter
(KOMA-Script v.2)
\firstfoot{the stuff I want in it}
This will place the footer at the bottom of the first page where logos
and headings and such are, but not on any pages after that.
Just thought it might help. As well as the above I also tried adding:
\rfoot{the stuff I want in it}
But with both those footer commands in the letter environment preamble
coughs up errors.
In fact \cfoot{the stuff I want in it} won't work at all in the letter
environment preamble, I have to use: \firstfoot
But it might work for you?
Be well,
Charlie

I'm certain it has been discussed here previously..............
I'm certain it's been discussed here before, but I can't find a reference to it. The way to stop a URL as an insert URL from running out over the margins into infinity. This happens in various document classes. The first line of the Insert URL has the right idea, but the second one doesn't stop at any margin. I know it can be done easily without using the insert URL application, but then the URL can't just be clicked on in the .pdf version to take the reader to the location. Instead it needs to be copied and pasted into a browser address bar. I think it should be possible to show the URL in a different way, even if it's just a link to the correct page. Just thought I would ask if someone can point me to the location of the discussion.

Yes, it's done in the preamble, but the {...whatever you want...} part

just makes sure to reset everything else.) There's also:

Any font command can be used here, including commands to select very

If it's for the first page **only** that you don't get the footer -

Footer to low on page for printer..........
Hello Everyone,
Just a quick question regarding raising the footer up higher on the
A4 paper into the printers printing range in letter (KOMA-Script v.2)
Using in Latex Preamble: \firstfoot {\centering \bf 2 lines of some
text}
LyX version 2.0.3
Debian wheezy
The footer is set too low for the printer to print the two lines of
text contained within it.
I've googled but can't find an answer. Maybe asking the wrong question,
there is all about the footer, but not lifting it up a little from the
bottom of the page.
Attempted to do this with the default page margins, and then custom page
margins, which alter my page space but leave the footer where it is and
just change the content text space.
I have tried to use different page types from A4 and no joy, have
tried many combinations of all the above and no joy either.
I'm probably not getting the combination right, I want to lift the
footer about 2cm from the bottom of the page.
Thank you,

Finding packages............
Hi all,
A lot of you are able to instantly find LaTeX packages to solve random
problems. I can't do that and want to learn how. I know of the
existence of ctan.org just like everyone else, but there's something in
my mental makeup that's different from yours, and I want to adopt your
beliefs and your mindset in order to produce your results.
I know to most of you this sounds trivial and self-explanatory, but to
me it's anything but, so please tell me your beliefs, mindset and
techniques as you search for a package to solve a specific problem.
Thanks so much,
SteveT
I have taken the liberty of starting a new thread because it's a good
question, though I would expand that by asking where the packages
should be placed in the /home/{user}/.lyx or the /usr/share/lyx
directories. I don't know where they should go but just guess, by file
association.
Place them where .sty, or whatever files exist, and if they are in more
than one directory try them in several places till Reconfigure
or texhash does it's work and finds them.
In reply to the above: in http://ctan.org/ type into the Search
aperture what it is you need and allow it to be found.
Doing that with vancouver for instance, takes you on the journey to the
files. Which of them is required and where to put them is another
question?
In my case I would seek out where .bib, bst, and .tex files reside and
place each there.
Probably doesn't help at all.

letter (KOMA-Script v.2) Space between closing and signature...........
I'm having a problem with the space between Closing and Signature in:
letter (KOMA-Script v.2)
using LyX version 2.0.3 Debian Wheezy.
I need more space to apply my hand written signature.
The document class doesn't honour vertical space after Closing.
It doesn't honour vertical space before Signature.
I have been googling this through Latex and LyX and nothing is either
working or making any sense when I read the text?
My preamble looks like this:
%% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)

\@addtoplength{toaddrvpos}{1cm}

,fromalign=center%alignment of the address

Thank you Jean-Marie,
You have helped me once again. I have two copies of the scrguien.pdf
and I use the latest. Read it, but obviously I don't know how to
use it. How to put the commands together in some instances.
I read this: sigbeforevskip vertical skip between closing and signature
(section 6.6.1, page 207)
But didn't really understand it.
Even tried working with this:
\setkomavar{signature}{John McEnvy\\{\small (Vice-President ‘‘The Other
Society’’)}}
\closing{Regards\\(for the board of directors)}
But couldn't put it together to rectify my problem, then searched the
net again and couldn't come up with the right answer.
Thank you again, because you have solved my problem once more, and you
will know it's much appreciated.

Re: letter (KOMA-Script v.2) Space between closing and

A picture being worth a thousand words, Figure 6.1 in the
scrguien.pdf is your friend.
My reply follows:
Hello Jean-Marie,
I have seen that diagram but again don't know how to work it.
The different first commands like:
\@addtoplength
or
\@setplength or whatever.
Hi Charlie,
First, as my own copy of the guide is quite old (my figure 6.1 is now
17.1), I updated it now from the last one dated 2012-05-15 which is
here: http://www.komascript.de/files/scrguien.pdf
So the page numbers I'm using now refer to this last version of the
guide.
How does one understand these commands? How does one know which to
use where?
Read section 4.2 Pseudo-Lengths (page 135). With my words:
All these pseudo-lengths have a default value. If you want to change
this default value and make it completly different you use
\@setplength. If you want to slightly modify it, you use
\@addtoplength.
I have attached the diagram you sent and added the commands that you
have helped me with in green and red.
I have also tried to make the signature on my letter template come to
the left of the page with these commands, none of which work:
\@setplength{sigindent}{\raggedleft} without success [...]
And many more, to numerous to mention here, but never the right one.
\@setplength{sigindent}{0mm}
will place the box containing the signature on the left side but this
is already defined in the DIN.lco
It's probably worthwhile to make your own version of the DIN.lco that
you are using. Copy it under a new name (myDIN.lco f.ex.) in the
directory where you have your lyx letters and modify it as you wish:
Instead of using
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
after calling the original DIN.lco where this plength is set, you can
replace inside your new lco the
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{8mm}
by
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{18mm}
Don't forget to call your lco file in the preamble:
\LoadLetterOption{myDIN}%
To place the signature inside the closing box on the left you have to
change in your lco file
\let\raggedsignature=\centering
to
\let\raggedsignature=\raggedright
HTH
--
Jean-Marie
Your explanation and guidance has been extremely helpful Jean-Marie.
I took your advice and tweaked the DIN.lco file and placed it in my
templates directory and added the absolute path to it in my preamble.
Again, thank you for your time and this enormous assistance.
Be well,
Charlie

ICO file - allow text to go lower on page.....
Hoping someone can help me with this.
Using Debian Jessie [testing]
Lyx Version 2.0.6
I have attached my a text copy of my DIN.Ico file.
Can someone please tell me what I have to change to have the text on my
first page actually write down closer to the bottom of the page?
At the moment the text ends about 75mm from the bottom of the page and
then starts a new page.
Also, to get my page number on the second page lower to the bottom of
the page, at the moment it is about 50mm from the bottom. I think this
has something to do with the same setting that would fix the above.

6 DIN.lco file:
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/DIN.lco
Read section 4.2 Pseudo-Lengths (page 135). With my words:
All these pseudo-lengths have a default value. If you want to change
this default value and make it completly different you use \@setplength.
If you want to slightly modify it, you use \@addtoplength.
I have attached the diagram you sent and added the commands that you
have helped me with in green and red.
I have also tried to make the signature on my letter template come to
the left of the page with these commands, none of which work:
\@setplength{sigindent}{\raggedleft} without success [...]
And many more, to numerous to mention here, but never the right one.
\@setplength{sigindent}{0mm}
will place the box containing the signature on the left side but this is
already defined in the DIN.lco
It's probably worthwhile to make your own version of the DIN.lco that
you are using. Copy it under a new name (myDIN.lco f.ex.) in the
directory where you have your lyx letters and modify it as you wish:
Instead of using
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
after calling the original DIN.lco where this plength is set, you can
replace inside your new lco the
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{8mm}
by
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{18mm}
Don't forget to call your lco file in the preamble:
\LoadLetterOption{myDIN}%
To place the signature inside the closing box on the left you have to
change in your lco file
\let\raggedsignature=\centering
to
\let\raggedsignature=\raggedright

I couldn't get the \nextfoot variable to work Jean, because I didn't

But this works a treat placed at the bottom of the preamble to drop the

That can be be pts as well instead of cm or mm
Hope that helps someone else.

Footer in Koma letter - \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot
In: Debian Jessie using: Lyx Version 2.0.6 I wanted to put a horizontal line and beneath it a custom footer, that has the three elements: \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot So that I can place three different names and address details onto the first page of the document. I have googled and I have read custom header and footer documents as well as .pdf files that tell me a great deal about headers and footers and even used a footer file that was from the wrong KOMA script or something and was chastised for attempting to use it by LyX. Looked through my DIN.lco and every place possible where tweak might be made. I never realised there were so many LaTeX sites that had something about footnotes on them. After futie attempts have had a million error messages and openings that conflicted when I used fancy instead of default, and on and on. Tried longtable and multirow, footnotesize and just about everything that was suggested in all my readings with different parameters and I have given it best. So I am here again. The one thing I haven't done, is create my own template to do what I want rather than use the letter template. In the past I used a template I made myself, but it was just created from a KOMA article template, and I think when I discovered the letter template I liked it better? But can only imagine that's why I changed. Why else? Anyway it's done my head in, and I realise it's laziness in a way because eventually, maybe a year from now I'll read something that puts it all together and I'll be able to do it. Or maybe never and accept living without it. But if someone can help me in this it would be truly great. It's just stubbornness that makes me want to use the template like this, and a certain amount of ire that I can't find where this type of footnote for a letter, is documented. Because it's a very popular way to create a letter. With something like manager, assistant manager and office address, or president, secretary and treasurer, or similar and their contact details in the footer of a letter? It's probably somewhere I have just not thought to look, or under a heading I haven' associated with a letter.

Thank you Jean-Marie,
The first example you pointed me to on page 178 works, and I was working
on tweaking it, and then I saw you had sent this email, which works
perfectly.
I feel like such an idiot. My only excuse is that I had looked on the
net and through other documentation that I didn't fine that reference
in the scrguien.pdf.
It's not unusual for me to go the hard way first.
I did look through the scrguien.pdf that you have directed me to in the
past and I've got in my LyX information file, but maybe I was already
overloaded with footnote information? I really have no excuse.
Anyway, as ever, and as previously thank you for your help and taking
the time to create the result. It's much appreciated and works
a treat.
Thank you once again.
Stay well,

Allow page break in boxes........
Hello Everyone, Using Debian Jessie, LyX 2.0.6. But even Wheezy and before that. I just read this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/63861 The above exchange seemed weird, because I have never had any type of box in Lyx that allowed page breaks? Even a frameless box, which is hardly a box at all? Maybe I'm missing something. The Allow page breaks option is always greyed out. If I use 100% column or less. Maybe this is just the case in koma-script pages? Or, is something missing here? Please note I am only curious, as when I've need a page break in a box, just create another box.

Sorry for the noise.
Played round and found that had to \usepackage{framed} and then went
single frame. Not realising that double frame is a box within a box.
So it works like that.

You do not have to load framed manually. Just insert a Box with a
simple frame. Then, in the Box settings dialog, select no inner box
(no Parbox or Minipage). Then you can check allow page breaks.
This loads framed internally.

From my keyboard:
Thank you Jürgen,
It works a treat just as you say. I didn't think to look at the
Inner box setting to see if there was something that might be
done there.
I started the box off as a double frame box.

I have got a problem while installing Lyx on my desktop (Core=i7, 16 GB RAM) In fact, the installation is perfect, but while I want to open the Lyx file, they ask me to reconfigure. But it failed every time. Even, I have tried to uninstall the Lyx including miktex andagain install the LyX-2.1.2-Bundle-1 (208 MB), then the problem remain same. I have also tired to change the path address from the toolspreference and the system environment. I don't understand the actual problem. Can you please help me regarding this. For your information the error window are presneted bewlo. In addition, the current set of path in Lyx are given below. Note that, I have searched on web and tried different approaches as suggested but NOT working. I don't use windows, but it seems that you don't have the layout file for the article class. Apart from that I have no idea. You say you have purged and reinstall miktex which is required in windows? Maybe purge miktex and and reinstall it again?

I want to add today (date of LaTeX compilation) date to an amsbook
document.
How to do it in LyX?
In the preamble: \date{whatever and however you want the date look
like}
and you will have the date placed as it would be in the document.
Not tried with amsbook but works for all others.

Re: Reducing Overfull \hbox

Hi all,
I'm making the second edition of Twenty Eight Tales of
Troubleshooting, changing it from Memoir to my modification of Book,
and changing the PDF formatting to better fit on a device. In doing
so, I discovered that a lot of my lines went conspicuously past the
other text, and occasionally went right off the page. Each of these is
represented in the conversion log by an Overfull \hbox. So here's
what I did...
\usepackage{microtype}
\tolerance=400
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{0.05em}
Those three statements brought it down from tens of occurances to 7,
and most of those 7 are off by less than 5 points, which really
doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. One, however, walked
off the page, so I had to special-handle that one by creating the
following Sloppystd environment:
% ### Sloppy paragraph
\newenvironment{sloppystdL}{\begin{sloppypar}}{\end{sloppypar}}
EndPreamble
Style Sloppystd
CopyStyle Standard
LatexType Environment
LatexName sloppystdL
Font
Series Medium
ShapeItalic
Size Normal
ColorGreen
EndFont
End
The Sloppystd environment enables me to individually fix problem
paragraphs without ERT.
So if you're having trouble keeping your right margin fully intact,
these are some of the things you can do to improve the situation.

Thank you for sharing that with us Steve, it's much appreciated.
Stay well,
Charlie

Copy and paste from Lyx
Hello, I am new to this list and joined because I am using Lyx more and more as my preferred word processor. I must have overlooked something, but find I am unable to copy and paste text from Lyx to my email program [kmail] simple or advanced text editors[kedit, kate]? But can copy to Openoffice.org, and then into the above. Is there are simple straight from Lyx way? I have RTFM and the FAQ and have looked through the archives. Maybe It is otherwise described, in terminology my mind can't grasp. So I am here to ask for assistance.

Re: Copy and paste from Lyx
Thanks Oisin, But holding down shift makes no difference. Every other proggy and app allow copy and paste with either copy and paste, or two mouse button click, into each other. Lyx allows copy into it, but when highlighted and then copy paste or two mouse click, nothing at all out of it. Except into Openoffice.org, which I love. But sometimes I want to just place text into an email. This may be a bug in Lyx, for me it is a big one. It makes a huge difference and keeps me away from it a lot, or I would use it solely. Thanks for the information anyway. Charlie On Fri, 31 Mar 2006 09:20 am, Oisin C.
