I'm a LaTeX newbie, but already really like the system, and I like LyX's interface quite a lot. I'm having two serious issues though in assembling a large report I'm writing in LyX.
First, LyX does not seem to be importing my BibTeX bibliography correctly - after I insert, I see the "BibTeX Generated Bibliography" tag, but when I view the latex output (DVI,PDF,etc) it only shows the word Bibliography, and is blank afterward. Is there anything I'm missing here? Secondly, I'm finding that when I view the output for image floats, or table floats, that there is no check for where page boundaries are, so that overly wide images or tables will disappear off of the rendered page, unless I specify size in terms of column width in the case of floats (there doesn't seem to be a good fix for tables though). Anyway, it's a great program, it's cross-platform, and it's in an entirely different league from MS Word for anything involving math. I'd be in love if it weren't for these two things... BTW, I am running LyX 1.5.5-1 on Windows XP, although I have experienced the BibTeX problem on a quick trial import on Ubuntu Hardy Heron linux as well. Thanks for helping a newbie, Brian
