I'm new to LyX but am excited about it and grateful for it because if what it is and does. I had used word-processors only when I had to, and have resorted to doing most of my writing in plain text. Now I think I've found the best for both needs. Kudos to the developers!
One thing that's driving me crazy is how to type upper-bit ascii characters such as the copyright and trademark symbols. I've seen these symbols in lyx so I know it's capable. I even saw one in a doc I exported to ascii in netscape and imported into LyX. I've SCOURED the manuals including the character tables, and including being sure my encoding is Latin1. But nada -- cain't find! The insert-special character menu item doesn't accommodate it as far as I can tell. And I can't input these characters with alt+numeric keypad ascii codes either. I'm baffled! Can someone help? thanks much! jamie faunt -- ____________________________________________ http://musicalskills.com _________________________
