Hi, i'm using lyx for windows and miktex. My problem is, that i installed the beamer document class with the miktex package manager (so this is done correctly, i checked the directories), updated the database and reconfigured lyx, but it still won't find the class. Any ideas for me? Thx Christian
Hello Christian, you still need to add the layout document for LyX, i.e. the document telling LyX how to represent the Beamer document in the editor. In order for do this in Linux, you simply copy (or link) the file "beamer.layout" supplied by the Beamer's author to your profile directory in ~/.lyx/layout. I believe you should achieve the same result under Windows without any hassle. Here is a quick link for the file, if you do not find it in our MikTeX installation. http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/lyx/layouts/beamer.layout Good luck, David
