When I open the new document, I get the alterations indicated by colored text. Then I can go through the document, accepting or rejecting each one. Is a feature like this existing in LyX/LaTeX?

When I replicated all the steps on Windows ME, the LyX configuration did unfortunately not run on the first run - so my unconfigured LyX does virtually find none of the programs it tries to run. I followed the steps of http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/ when installing (getting the minimal MikTeX, the fonts, ImageMagick, ASpell, ghostscript, ghostview and AcroRead; thereafter unpacking LyX). During the first run of lyx.exe it just opened the lyx window (instead of running a lot of configuration and downloading additional MikTeX components as it did on Win XP). Does anyone have an idea what went wrong? I already tried Edit-Reconfigure, running the configure script by hand and replacing the sed.exe. Thanks for your help!

However if I copy and paste from user guide onto my document then it shows that. for eg 2-1=1 (mathed:first-equn) would show in the user guide and if I paste on my document then also it will work But it will not work if I wrote 2-1=1(in mat mode of course ) and then did Insert-Label-mathed:first-equn Please tell me what could be going wrong Not sure about 1.3.1, but maybe M-m l and/or M-m n helps.

Re: Hello LyX list - Getting my University to adopt LyX - CAS integration

Does anyone have any experience in doing this which might make this easier for the Uni computer people? A feature which would do a great deal to persuade people to start using LyX would be the integration of a CAS like Maple or Matlab (the two used most here at Portsmouth). I have no idea how hard this would be to implement but I have seen other programs which talk to Maple and Matlab so an interface must exist. If LyX was linked up to such a CAS, this would be a big step on the way to introducing a 'Maths spell checker'. A feature which could try to highlight inconsistencies in lines of algebra working would be a great incentive for both staff and students to adopt LyX. There is a preliminary version of such integration availbale in LyX. Browse through the archives for more details. Andre'
