Thanks to you both. It worked. I had not thought to check in the document settings as I assumed it was a global setting, but now I think about it, it makes sense to be in the document settings. Because the default is a global preference perhaps it would make sense for one to be able to change the d

Hi, I just got Skim to pdfsync with LyX. It took me a while, and I think my problems were that I had defined my lyxpipe in ~/.lyx/.lyxpipe. Now I set it just as ~/.lyx. Another problem I had was that LyX could not find the pdfsync.sty package so I downloaded it and stuck it in my working folder. If

I frequently used the break-line (or break-paragraph-keep-layout?) shortcut in LyX 1.5 when writing notes etc. The shortcut was Command-Return (on my mac). This basically inserted a "\\" command that looks like a small return arrow in LyX. It is not set up correctly with my installation of LyX 1.6

Hi Etinne, I know you won't exactly love this solution, but it does work. You can remove the extra space again simply by entering a spacer with a user value with a negative in front. eg -1 em. This removes the text up a line again. You have to give LyX more of a chance. Writing in LaTeX requires
