I'm not positive, but I think you have to do Edit | Reconfigure and possibly exit/restart LyX before it will recognize the presence of the aspell files. > 2-I do not understand how I should > include the 3 fixes files which are available on the website > (extra_win32_files.tar.bz2 > <http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/extra_win32_files.tar.bz2> > , lyx_win32.diff > <http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/lyx_win32.diff> and > quick_fix.diff > <http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/quick_fix.diff>) As mentioned elsewhere, these are source code files; skip them if you intend only to use the binaries and not recompile yourself. > 3-How can I > test that Imagemagick actually works (remember I am using Lyx for > Windows) >From the ImageMagick QuickStart.txt file: | Once ImageMagick is installed, Select Start->Programs->Command | Prompt.In the Command Prompt window type | | identify -verbose logo: It should dump a bunch of information about the file.

The install program should have taken care of that, but if not, you'll need to fix it yourself. > 4-Import of Latex files fails Sorry, nothing to offer here. > 5-I cannot see included pictures in my lyx window (probably linked to > question 3) In addition to getting ImageMagick to work (and LyX to recognize it), you may also need to go to Edit | Preferences | Look and Feel | Graphics (in LyX) and make sure that a color option other than "do not display" is selected. -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
