Hi,
How can I make the table caption (title) in a table float left justified?
LyX always centers the title with respect to the page not the width of the
table. I already tried Layout-Paragraph without success.
Put \usepackage[nooneline]{caption2} in the preamble.
But it is probably better to leave the caption centered, but also center the
table (put the cursor just before the table, and open the paragraph dialog).

Put \usepackage[nooneline]{caption2} in the preamble.
But it is probably better to leave the caption centered, but also center the
table (put the cursor just before the table, and open the paragraph dialog).

Slightly OT: OVERLAYING PostScript pages
Dear LyXers, I have a problem. I frequently have to write letters on my company's letter paper. This paper is produced by MS Word. All of my colleagues who decide to write on it use a template and then print it. I use Lyx and, given that it is not easy to code its aspect in LyX I have a postscript file of it which I print, then feed back the paper in the printer and overlay the text of the letter on it. I would be interested in overlaying the content of a PostScript file onto another. This way I could easily accomplish my purpose. Do you know of any simple technique to accomplish this? All my searches, so far, have failed. Thanks a lot in advance! Marco Bravi -- Marco Bravi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dip. Ing. Chimica tel. +39-06-44585587 / 612 v.

Undocumented feature in LyX 1.1.6fix3
Dear LyXers, did anyone else experience this: During a tabular operation lyx crashed :-( It managed to do a emergency backup :-) Opening the emergency backup results in: Alert: Achtung Tabular Format <5 wird nicht mehr unterstützt. erwenden sie eine ältere Version von LyX (<1.1.x) zum konvertiere Verwerfen <-| And in the console: Tabular format < 5 is not supported anymore Get an older version of LyX (< 1.1.x) for conversion! Pressing enter lets LyX crash again : lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX... :-( Guenter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
header help needed
Dear LyX users, I am using the plain book layout for my document and I need to use the standard publishing-industry header: Lastname-PageNumber ie, Harris-1. Is this possible in LyX?

Yes, this works, but it would be so nice if in the next version we could just hit C-Enter and get a line break in a normal column! Robin

You can work around this if you do the following: 1. Open document in LyX and view as PS 2. Without closing the PS-document open a schell and change to /tmp/lyxtmpdir 3. Look for a file ending in .idx: do a find . -name "*.idx" 4. copy said file into the same directory as your LyX-file 5. run makeindex yourfilename.idx - for details check man makeindex - you can do some fancy stuff this way. 6. include the output into your LyX-document and throw out the index-tag If you change your index you have to redo the procedure. I also believe that RedHat 7.1 showed the same problem, but the SuSE 7.2 distrubution worked fine in this regard. Hope this helpes, Michael

New German Spelling
Hi, I am wondering, if it is possible to tell lyx to use the ngerman dictionary by default, if the document language is German. Also it seems that there is an ibritish, but no ienglish (at least in Debian). Thanks. Rainer. -- Rainer Dorsch Abt.

Re: New German Spelling
Rainer, I am not too sure what the ngerman dictionary is but maybe I can be of some help. I am assuming that you are using ispell ? If you have the ngerman dictionary installed you can get LyX (ispell) to use this to check the spelling by edit->preferences->Lang Opts->Spell checker select use alternate language, and type in ngerman (If you have the ngerman dictionary installed, you should have a ngerman.hash file, all of my dictionaries are in /usr/lib/ispell/) I hope thats of some help Also why do you want an english dictionary instead of a british one ? Do you want american spelling ?
