Hello,I just installed LyX for the first time yesterday. Whenever I select a paragraph to be single-spaced (I highlighted the paragraph, pressed the "paragraph settings" button, and changed spacing from default to single) it gives an error message and does not work. The first time I did this and tried rendering to dvi, it complained about a missing "setspace.sty". I reinstalled LyX this time with the bundled installer (lyx-142-1-bundle.exe.) and this time it gives me a different error, "LaTeX Error: Environment singlespace undefined" and "LaTeX Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{singlespace}." When installing, I was Administrator, and set installation for all users with the packages. The only other non-default setting I used was by indicating I was also using Hebrew. I am using Windows Server 2003 (32-bit). Rendering the included documents (like the tutorial) to dvi works fine. Thank you very much for your help, and for what looks like to be a great program!
Works for me (albeit on Win XP, not WinServer 03). The first error sounds like you don't have the setspace package installed, which you need if you're going to vary the spacing of pieces of the document. If you open a DOS windows and type 'kpsewhich setspace.sty', do you get back a path to the file? If not, try installing it. (If you're using MikTeX, you can run MikTeX's Package Manager from the program menu and use it to install setspace. If you're using a different LaTeX distribution, it may mean downloading the package yourself and manually installing it.)
If you have setspace.sty, in LyX click Help->LaTeX Configuration, scroll down to section 7.13 (or just search for "setspace"), and see if it says 'yes'. If not, LyX didn't find setspace during installation, which means (assuming you have it installed) something burped during the installation.
If you have setspace and LyX knows you have setspace, the best I can suggest is cutting down your document to a minimal example that screws up and then posting it to the list. Sometimes things get out of order, or the document gets damaged, but the only way I know to diagnose that is to look at the "source code", and you have to know what you're looking for. Which means consulting the experts on the list. (Which excludes me.)
