That is correct. > If this is the case I will go and find it and do a full install, but > given the option is there it seems rather odd - and isn't listed as an > extra in the Wiki. Why do you find it odd? LyX can potentially be used with many tens (hundreds?) of external tools, most of which you won't find installed on your WinXP machine. Nonetheless, if you install the tool and adjust the "path_prefix" line in your C:\Documents and Settings\GEOFFREY\Application Data\LyX\preferences file (either by editting it directly or by use Edit->Preferences), so that LyX can find the resulting executable, then the configure script that is run on Edit->Reconfigure should be able to recognise it. Please remember that support for LyX on Windows is still very much in its infancy and much of LyX (configure scripts for example) is still fundamentally *nix not Windows. -- Angus
