 Im using the debian based distro ubuntu and installed via

 How can i add the prosper textclass to lyx 1.3.4

  The lyx layout file that comes with beamer is installed in a place that lyx 
can't find.

  One option is to create a symbolic link in your lyx directory to it, i.e., 
to create a symbolic link from ~/.lyx/layouts/beamer.layout to the place 
where beamer.layout is.

  The other option is to download beamer.layout and place it in

Copying A Table Float Across Documents

[Rich Shepard]

  I want to copy a table -- as a table -- from one document to another, but
my attempts so far have failed.

  I've opened the table in the source document, highlighted the entire table,
used ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard, switched focus to the destination
document, and used the Edit-External paste feature. I get a solid paragraph,
not a table, with this approach. I've also tried to copy the grey table
from the source to the destination, but get the same non-table results with
this.

  I've also searched on the TeXnik.de and wiki pages without seeing an
answer.

  Is there a way to copy the table from one document to another?

TIA,

Rich

as a multi-image file to Standard Output.  Otherwise,  pstopnm  creates
one file for each page in the Postscript document.  The files are named
as follows: If the input file is named psfile.ps, the name of the files

You first need to create  a blank table with the same number of columns and 
rows as the original in your destination document. Ideally the same 
structure


Copy the source into the destination but make sure you have the cursor in 
the top left hand cell.


Sometimes, just sometimes, doing this copies the whole table  as it is, 
ignoring your blank table.

samar,

  Thanks. I was going to create the table outline then copy each cell
individually.

  What I actually did was open the source .lyx file in one virtual console,
block the whole table, and save that to a separate text file. Then I opened
the destination .lyx file and imported the code at the right place.

  Unfortunately, the destination document is a beamer-class presentation and
the table is far too large to fit on a single slide. Sigh. I'll have to trim
cells off and see what I can get to compile and display.

  I want to copy a table -- as a table -- from one document to another, 
but

my attempts so far have failed.

  I've opened the table in the source document, highlighted the entire 
table,

used ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard, switched focus to the destination
document, and used the Edit-External paste feature. I get a solid 
paragraph,

not a table, with this approach. I've also tried to copy the grey table
from the source to the destination, but get the same non-table results 
with

this.

  I've also searched on the TeXnik.de and wiki pages without seeing an
answer.

  Is there a way to copy the table from one document to another?


I have used this for some time but have just checked it out to see if it 
also works on 1.3.6


You first need to create  a blank table with the same number of columns and 
rows as the original in your destination document. Ideally the same 
structure


Copy the source into the destination but make sure you have the cursor in 
the top left hand cell.


Sometimes, just sometimes, doing this copies the whole table  as it is, 
ignoring your blank table.

samar,

  Thanks. I was going to create the table outline then copy each cell
individually.

  What I actually did was open the source .lyx file in one virtual console,
block the whole table, and save that to a separate text file. Then I opened
the destination .lyx file and imported the code at the right place.

  Unfortunately, the destination document is a beamer-class presentation and
the table is far too large to fit on a single slide. Sigh. I'll have to trim
cells off and see what I can get to compile and display.

> "opening"? A phantasy name?

Nope, 'opening' sounds like a noun, not a verb. (BTW, I am looking for
a job, if your company has an opening, drop me an email. :-)

I do not have any good idea either. If I have to choose one, maybe 'invoke'?

BTW, all file managers under linux (CDE, konqueror, nautilus etc) have
their own ways of file association, have you looked at their methods?

You could try also latex2rtf a commandline latex to rtf converter. It works
quite well. It is less powerful than tex4ht but faster. But I doubt that
revision marks can be exported.

You could try also the commercial Tex2word http://www.word2tex.com/

Thank you, Ekkehart. You are right, it doesn't seem to exist or simply isn't
installed according to what I can gather.

Many thanks again,

  The lyx layout file that comes with beamer is installed in a place that lyx 
can't find.

  One option is to create a symbolic link in your lyx directory to it, i.e., 
to create a symbolic link from ~/.lyx/layouts/beamer.layout to the place 
where beamer.layout is.

  The other option is to download beamer.layout and place it in 
~/.lyx/layouts/

Copying A Table Float Across Documents

[Rich Shepard]

  I want to copy a table -- as a table -- from one document to another, but
my attempts so far have failed.

  I've opened the table in the source document, highlighted the entire table,
used ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard, switched focus to the destination
document, and used the Edit->External paste feature. I get a solid paragraph,
not a table, with this approach. I've also tried to copy the grey "table"
from the source to the destination, but get the same non-table results with
this.

  I've also searched on the TeXnik.de and wiki pages without seeing an
answer.

  Is there a way to copy the table from one document to another?

TIA,

Rich

This is not the cleanest solution, Rich, but your goal may be achieved
by using a text editor to copy the table, without doing it inside LyX.
(I am assuming both documents are LyX ones.)

Paul,

  You'd think that after all this time I'd just do that, wouldn't you?

Re: Fails to convert image (at preview)

[Koji Yokota]

Angus,

Thank you for your advice.

I'm using version 1.3.5 (actually it's CJK-Lyx-1.3.5 but I don't think 
CJK patch is related to this problem) and I'm using the temporary 
directory (/tmp).


Looking at the debug information of 'lyx -dbg graphics', it seems that 
the created script for the conversion of image does not specify the 
output file.  Here is the content of the script (+debug info):


PreviewLoader::finishedInProgress(1): processing failed for

pstopnm: Writing ppmraw file
Image conversion failed.
Unable to find converted file!


I'm using netpbm-10.26.14 on FreeBSD-5.4 and the man page of netpbm says:


If you use the -stdout  option, pstopnm outputs images of all the pages
 


as a multi-image file to Standard Output.  Otherwise,  pstopnm  creates
one file for each page in the Postscript document.  The files are named
as follows: If the input file is named psfile.ps, the name of the files
will  be  psfile001.ppm,  psfile002.ppm,  etc.


So, it seems the phenomenon I observed is a natural consequence in my 
current environment.

Do I need to modify lyxpreview2ppm.py?

LyX has been failing to show image preview when I insert graphics in
LyX document from some time ago.

LyX simply shows a box which says "failed to convert image" at the
place I inserted graphics. However, LyX seems successfully
converting the image in the same directory as the document and
image. For example, when the file name of the inserted image is
"test.eps", it creates a file "test.eps001.ppm" which is not broken.
So, the problem looks simply LyX cannot correctly find
"test.eps001.ppm".

Can you suggest how to correct the problem? Thank you in advance.
   



* Could you tell us what version of LyX you are using?

* Are you using a temporary directory? To check:

Using the Qt frontend look in the Paths pane of the Edit->Preferences
dialog.

[x] Use temporary directory [/tmp] [Browse...]

Using the XForms frontend look in the Input->Paths tab of the
Edit->Preferences dialog.

Temp dir: [x] [/tmp] [Browse...]


I'm very surprised by the generated filenames too.
lyx -dbg graphics
should dump a whole heap of information to the console to help you
diagnose the problem.
