Switching from Lyx 1.1 to Lyx 1.2 is a major upgrade. Something you do not want to do when you have a large important document that relies on the old faithful version of the software. My advice is to switch back to lyx1.1.6fix4 ASAP. The file formats are incompatible, so do not change or save anything, or always back up! Lyx 1.2 does OK at reading lyx 1.1 files, but lyx 1.1 cannot read lyx 1.2 files. In my humble opinion lyx 1.1(.5, .6) is more stable and works more like expected/documented than lyx 1.2. Finish your thesis with lyx1.1 and by the time you submit lyx1.3 with its promising new features should be ready. -- Steven Homolya School of Physics and Materials Engineering Monash University, VIC 3800 Australia Tel: +61 3 9905 3694 Fax: +61 3 9905 3637
