I am sorry, but I do not understand this. First, I do: > Document > Settings > Child Document from the master, include only > the desired child and click "Maintain counters and references”. And save it. But if I (immediately) check again the setting is back to “Include all children”. When I view the master document, I get the whole document correctly. Suppose I want to edit the included Chapter 2. I can right click on it in the master, to open the LyX version of the included file, and make changes. Now I would like to view those changes, with proper references, citations, and numbering. “View master document” gives an error. “Buffer-view pdf” does not show the references, citations, and numbering. Am I hoping for too much or am I doing something wrong? Hal -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
