> -svenIts great that you are visualising putting this on the wiki. Just a suggestion. Similar issues keep coming up on cut and paste problems. For instance, recently there was this issue that you can't cut and paste between lyx documents and the simple answer is they have to be documents on the same instance of Lyx. I just wonder if it might be a better idea to scan through the lists and summarize all cut and paste tips and put them together on the wiki if you can spare the time. I have put someting on the wiki before. While the direct instructions are fairly simple I found some derivatives more problematic like the .jpg file being downloaded as .jpeg which creates problems for lyx. Christian at chr "at" home.se is the man you need to contact. Very helpful too. Re your other comment, like every other beauty Lyx has areas it could improve on, but the entire persona is what most of us go for. Lyx is an immensely productive tool. When you match it with something like freemind, its a powerful combination for thought and expression. To the developers of both, I am personally deeply indebted. best regards samar
