Mr. Ressler: As a new LyX user and a non-publishing, non-typesetting, non-word-processing (yes, these are likely non-words... hopefully you know what I mean) environmental consultant (groundwater and surface water characterization and modeling), my comments may include my lack of understanding, but may be stated in my comments as errors in the documentation. Please forgive me if I am crossing versions or otherwise causing my own difficulties.
I recently began using the LyX Version 1.3.3-Win32 of Thu, Sep 25 2003. This version includes some apparent errors with respect to interface references in the "The LyX User's Guide" (where I obtained your contact information; perhaps in other help documents as well). This version is stated to be, "an experimental version of LyX for Win32, based on version 1.3.3." (http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/) and may have significant differences with respect to the version applicable to the User's Guide. Q. Can you provide any direction on how I can learn about converting existing tex-format files to latex format? It seems this is needed to allow LyX to import latex-format files. (I have a new client with a lot of tex files, and I am trying to avoid looking like a complete novice to that client, so any help at the most basic level will be appreciated) Q. To whom should I ask questions when I get stuck while learning the basics of LyX? These comments include some basic issues (that you most likely are very aware of; perhaps there is more than I have seen as a novice in LyX) that have been encountered during reading and learning by practice in the Introduction, Tutorial, and User's Guide: reference to the "Document->Settings" apparently intending or not yet reflecting the interface revision to "Layout->Document" "Tools->Preferences" may intend "Document->Settings" but no "Tools" main menu item is evident in my installation ("Preferences" is under "Edit") "Layout | Document" includes "Numbering" as an item in a vertically-arranged list of items, rather than "the Extra tab" referred to in the User's Guide; this Numbering item includes "Number Depth" with "Section" and "Table of contents" Thank you, Loren Demaree Staff Hydrogeologist/Modeler Jacobs - Oak Ridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] work ': 865-220-4125 ============================================================================== NOTICE - This communication may contain confidential and privileged information that is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
