['make' missing] 2.4.3.1 Example #1: Offsets [paragraph 2] . . . both 0 points, i. e. the page isn't shifted . . .Suppose your left . . . ['i.e.' rather than 'i.g.'; 'your' rather than 'you're'] 5.1.1 Introduction [Version 7.00 (Jauary 2010) is available from the website listed; so this whole section needs to be updated; I am happy to have a go at this if you would like] [paragraph 2] . . . the original manual but is merely a short guide in how . . . ['is' missing; 'in' before 'how' is more idiomatic] [paragraph 3] . . . That change involved some slight changes to the style files, namely the removal of the thesaurus command. The LyX class aa supports version 5.01. Refer to the version 7.00 documentation available from the website if you choose to install the newest version. For compatibility, the old (version 4) layout has been kept as article (A&A V4). Please refer to the comments in LYXDir/layouts/aapaper.layout. ['involved' is better than 'implicated'; 'changes to' is better than 'changes of'; other changes to reflect latest version] 5.2.2 Starting a New Paper [paragraph 1] . . . Such commands are referred to as TeX code. [delete 'or Evil Red Text' as this is no longer used elsewhere in the help documentation] 5.8 Elsevier Journals [paragraph 1 url] http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/latex . . . LyX includes a package . . . [current url is out of date; 'a' needed before 'package'] 5.11.2 Writing a paper [enumerate 9] . . . use some TeX code to overcome this ...

[new wording; delete footnote as this no longer applies] 5.14.4 The new letter class: letter (koma-script v.2) [paragraph 1] . . . it is recommended you use the new class. ['you' rather than 'to' is more idiomatic] [paragraph 3] . . . configurable to meet almost any needs. ['to meet' is the normal expression] 5.16.1 Overview [paragraph 2] . . . rest of features) we recommend you have a look . . . ['we recommend you do something' is the normal expression] 5.16.2 Basic features and restrictions [Description Page style] . . . (they both define a command with the same name, which confuses LaTeX). Instead, Memoir comes with a number of its own page styles.

['come with' is the correct expression] 5.16.3 Extra features [Description Chapterprecis] . . . You may know this older typesetting style: The contents of a chapter are summarised below the title . . . ['belletristic' is a very rare word and really out of place in a user manual; 'shortly' is only used in respect of time, not size - so I have suggested an alternative] 5.19 RevTeX4 [paragraph 1]The Revtex 4 textclass works with the American Physical Sociey's RevTeX 4.1 class. [I haven't tried this but RevTeX4.1 was issued in August 2010 and the announcement refers mostly to bugfixes and additional features and only mentions having the most recent version of natbib installed as essential] [paragraph 3]. . . to be used in addition to the RevTeX 4.1 documents . . . [update to 4.1] [The rest of this section may need some revision.] 5.20 Springer Journals (svjour) [This entire section needs re-writing as the article layouts are now provided with each separate journal while book layouts are described at http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0 The URL in the first paragraph simply links to the main page and not to the layouts pages.] 5.21.3.2 Quirks of the New Environments [paragraph 4] . . . In that case, enter your descriptive comment . . . ['in' is not needed] [paragraph 5] . . . don't want to enter any descriptive text . . . ['in' is not needed] 6.1 Checking TeX [chktex is now listed as obsolete in CTAN; this section needs deleting] 6.2.2.5 Undo Last Checkin This pretends that the last check in never happened . . .

If this property is detected . . . different modes of file use in LyX: ['has two such mechanisms to provide' is more idiomatic; 'automatic'; 'if' is more idiomatic; 'modes of file use' is more idiomatic] {Description: Unlocked state] . . . For editing one needs . . . Check-out consists of updating from the repository . . .

['compared with' is more idiomatic; 'Linux' - uppercase L; 'setting up a' is more idiomatic; 'a' needed before 'rather'; 'offer' is more idiomatic; 'the' is needed before 'client'; 'prior' is the correct expression; 'the' needed before 'Windows'; also should be ellipse rather than three dots after frustration] [Enumerate 1]1. Get a svn client . . . in the previous . . .is a fresh install . . .to create config files, which you will need to change later on. ['a' needed before 'svn'; 'the' needed before 'previous'; 'a' needed before 'fresh'; 'to create' is the correct expression] [Enumerate 2]Choose a ssh client . . . are several possibilities, . . . to set the connection up so that the client . . .
