Another detail came up. I did a simple test with a document containing 3 short chapters. >From the GUI, in Settings -> Child Documents -> Master Document Output -> Include only selected children I can select only some child documents and then create the PDF in File -> Export -> PDF (pdflatex). The exported PDF will contain only the selected child(ren), with all the cross-references. However, if I export from command line with lyx --export pdf2 master.lyx the PDF will invariably contain the whole document. I can sen the test files if you wish. -- Rudi Gaelzer Institute of Physics Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741
