Hi.. fortunately i had a linux machine handy so after some search and some long
and twisted installation i was able to convert my HTML to Tex and then Import
that into latex..
unfortunately some1 (i dont know weather its the Lyx import of the html2latex)
didnt quite appreciate the nice SPSS tables which make u se of some non basica
formatting. The result in lyx looks and feels completely awkward .. its HUGE
and there is no easy way to make it smaller ( i have tried setting the column
width but ended up in nasty word wrappings and yet a lot of unwanted blank
spaces all over.. and ended up with some error message (missing fullpage.sty ?)
yet another file not found :( i should have downloaded the 300 mb installation
of miktex i guess..)
I tried to copy paste to fix the table (whose colums are completely wrong..)
but with little or no results (if you copy some values off a table and try to
paste them outside a table you get.. nothing :)
For how sad it seems i think i am back with word 2000 which works seamlessly in
doing this kind of operations..
This opens up a question: if you leave alone the fact that lyx is free.. and
that the underlying latex is supposely bug free. why features does lyx offer
that word doesnt? (the contrary isnt really to be asked :) ) . I mean.. all the
manual is boasting about has (internal references, footnotes etc etc.. ) are
all things that have existed for at least 5 years in Word, and the equation
editor its the same (if not plain better) than the one offered in Lyx.
Really this is not meant to be polemic or anything.. but i would be rather
happy if someone offered me a good reason why does it stil lmake sense to use
it under a windows environment.
Thanks!
Sincerely
Giovanni Tummarello
