Re: Navigating dvi output

[Paul Smith]

However, I cannot find a mechanism that permits me to go directly to
a specific page. Is this possible?
Rich,

I am not sure, but I think that if you type 40g, then you go to the page 
40 of the document, assuming that you are using xdvi. Now, I am using 
kdvi, with which it is only necessary to click on the desired page 
number in the list of pages, which is visible.

I hope this helps you!

ABOUT LYX!

[g97m6120]

Hi!

I am a new user of lyx and a bit frustrated with it because I am writing up my
thesis in Mathematical Statistics but I am not sure which document type to use,I
went to layout in the toolbar-Document- after document I got a whole list of
document types and I don't know which one to choose(book,article,etc).another
thing that I need you to help me with is,if for instance I have written my
mathematical equation at the centre of the line/row and then I want to number
it at the far right of the line/row,how do i do it?[most of the time
mathematical equations are written at the center of the row and then number at
the far right so that you can refer to them when you use the in other
sections].The last thing is,when I want to view my document I go to view on the
toolbar and then choose DVI,what i've noticed is that the page numbering is at
the top right corner instead of the bottom of the page and that worries me.

I really need your help as soon as possible!

Thank you in advance.

That's just a function of the latex document class that you've chosen.
It's the sort of itty-bitty detail that you can get right at any time
by tweaking the latex. It certainly isn't something that should hold
up your writing.

In this particular case, the solution will be adding a piece of latex
to your Layout-Document-Preamble. The actual snippet can probably
be found in at www.lyx.org/help or at wiki.lyx.org. Or on this list,
of course...

  What format does your school want? Ask them if they have LaTeX macros that
define that style. Otherwise, you can probably find a 'thesis' style to use.

 another thing that I need you to help me with is,if for instance I have
 written my mathematical equation at the centre of the line/row and then I

  The Users Guide has a very good section on entering mathematical
equations. Briefly, you have two forms: in-line (ctrl-m) and display
(shift-ctrl-m) modes. The latter are centered on separate lines. At the end
of the equation, press Meta-m, n (or use the menus) and you'll turn on
equation numbering. When the document is compiled and typeset the number is
right-aligned.

It's the sort of itty-bitty detail that you can get right at any time

  What format does your school want? Ask them if they have LaTeX macros that
define that style. Otherwise, you can probably find a 'thesis' style to use.

  The Users Guide has a very good section on entering mathematical
equations. Briefly, you have two forms: in-line (ctrl-m) and display
(shift-ctrl-m) modes. The latter are centered on separate lines. At the end
of the equation, press Meta-m, n (or use the menus) and you'll turn on
equation numbering. When the document is compiled and typeset the number is
right-aligned.

Re: myTitlePage

[Beny Spira]

I have done both texhash and reconfigure before I wrote to the list. It
seems that the problem is between lyx and  "myTitlePage" macro that is
shown below. As I wrote before, the error I got is: 
Latex Error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] undefined

Have anyone tried to use this package? Is there a way to fix this
problem?

Well, if \renewcommand complains about an undefined macro, using
\newcommand (or even \providecommand, or even \def) looks like a
possible workaround.

\Diamond and \Box

[Chris Menzel]

Quick question: my OS X Aqua version of LyX 1.3.4 nicely renders \Diamond and
\Box as a diamond and a box (respectively! :-) .  Not so my Linux 1.3.4
version.  I simply get "Diamond" and "Box" in large friendly red letters.  Is
this simply an advantage of the Aqua version, or am I missing something on the
Linux box?

Thanks.

You're missing the answer to the most FAQ.
