Bibstyle apalike - German
Hallo lyxers, I' ve the following problem: I' am writing a text in German and using the bibstyle "apalike" in the bibtex reference. It looks very good, but the "and" between two authors ist not changed to the German "und". What's wrong? I'am using lyx 1.16 fix 1. Thanks Arnd
Table and colored cells
Hallo lyxers, just an other question. I'am using long tables in order to make it easier to read i would like to color some cells in "gray". That means that i would to change the color of the background not of the text. Thanks Arnd
Seminar again - portrait output
If answered already, please point me to the answer.
Using lyx, I cannot force seminar class to print portrait mode. Exporting
the latex and working with it directly will yeild proper (desired) output.
Prefix commands \landscapeonly and \portraitonly give identical output.
Latex comands \begin{slide} and \begin{slide*} (with appropriate \end{...}
give same result.
I is tempting simply to work with raw latex and tolerate the extra work. I
do have the Latex style User's Guide (dated 4/1/1993) and therefore know I
can get the job done. I want to avoid some of the more tedious details.
Thank you for any help.

per default you can change only the color of a column or a row.
you can prevent some single cells from coloring if you declare
these ones to "multicol" cells. to color a column put the mouse
cursor in one cell, right mouse button and write in
row/column-specual format-align for example
{\columncolor[gray]{.8}}c
you can change the value for the color just as you like.
the doc of colortbl gives mote information.
