1. my apologies for the late reply. 2. Yes, exporting as a .dvi and then running it through dvips works beautifully. Can't this be set up in Lyx's preferences, as if it was going to an inkjet? I'm going through the manual again to see what I might have missed; it would be nice to get lyx to do this export/conversion. Somehow I just have to let it, rather than make it. regards, rl
