Export to Word documents

What happens if you do some change to the LyX-file (other than removing the

Normal changes to the LyX file do show up when I do an Update-DVI so that's
good... it's just the \input that isn't getting update in the DVI or PS

I just did a small test, and I cannot reproduce the bug: in my LyX 1.1.6fix3

test.lyx calls input.tex via InsertFileInput, a change in input.tex

Maybe a guru might find the difference in the setup that leads to this different
behaviour.

I'm hardly a guru, but it sounds like the original questioner is
inserting \input{myfile} as ERT. If so, I would not be surprised if
LyX did not rerun LaTeX just because myfile.tex changed. As best I can

On the other hand, if the input was being done via Insert-File-Input,
I would indeed expect LyX to rerun LaTeX if myfile.tex changed. Or am I

Yes, that's right... I was just using the Latex command \input{} directly
in LyX without using the Insert-File option.. the problem was that on my
Windows OS, when I did Insert-File, the filename I inserted wasn't
recognized.. and a user on this list pointed out correctly that it was
cos the filename itself /cygwin/d/blah wasn't being recognized... so I
switched to this direct mode of just using \input and controlling the

Do you have \usepackage{endfloat} in the preamble ?

Re: TRANSACTION
Some spam is so funny, I can't even get angry at it! I have a legal question, though. Does this mean that the members of this list are, collectively, the next of kin, or is it the LyX program itself? And if so, is this 1.1.6 or 1.2 CVS? We could see some ugly wrangling here; 1.1.6 is the elder version, but 1.2 may be able to make a stronger claim to being the "real" LyX. My vote is that the money go into a trust fund to be claimed by version 2.0 when it comes of age. No GUI-indpendence, no inheritance.

Or commentary on commentaries? We could get into a Von Neumann infinite regress here ;-) I had assumed a certain amount of light-hearted commentary on _whatever_ was acceptable on the list. I admit I should have marked it OT (as I have done with this one) though why someone who doesn't wish to read commentary on spam should bother opening a post marked Re: is beyond me. Robin
Export to Word documents
Here is a way of putting documentation prepared by LyX into a Word document that works for me: Prepare the document under LyX and export as HTML Reboot into Windows and open Word Open the document into which you wish to add the text Select Format - style For each heading style... select the heading level select modify append the appropriate HTML tag (without brackets) to each style description string with a comma thus Heading 1 becomes Heading 1,H1 and so on Click on apply Open the exported HTML document in Word, highlight the desired text, copy and then paste into the other document. All the headings should pick up the right heading levels from the Word template. You will have to manually remove the surplus numeration.

I'm hardly a guru, but it sounds like the original questioner is
inserting "\input{myfile}" as ERT. If so, I would not be surprised if
LyX did not rerun LaTeX just because myfile.tex changed. As best I can
surmise without searching the code, LyX just blindly copies ERT to the
output file without looking at it.
On the other hand, if the input was being done via Insert->File->Input,
I would indeed expect LyX to rerun LaTeX if myfile.tex changed. Or am I
out in left field, again? Herbert?

Yes, that's right... I was just using the Latex command \input{} directly
in LyX without using the Insert-File option.. the problem was that on my
Windows OS, when I did Insert-File, the filename I inserted wasn't
recognized.. and a user on this list pointed out correctly that it was
cos the filename itself /cygwin/d/blah wasn't being recognized... so I
switched to this direct mode of just using \input and controlling the
filename...

Re: Installing LyX on a new RH 7.2 system
Dear Kent, First, I am not an expert. Second, here is how I solved this: You need: bxform-088.tgz libstdc++-2.95.1_2.10.0-3.i386.rpm ( install with --force) if you have ps figures you probably need to upgrade your gs, so you need: ghostscript-7.00-1.i386.rpm ghostscript-fonts-6.0-2.noarch.rpm gv-3.5.8-11.i386.rpm All these caan be searched on the web.
