section title centered

2008-05-12 Thread Robert Neumann
stupid question, but I couldn't figure it out using the manual, I allways get
error-messsages.

I'm using titlesec and I just want my section*-title centered instead of the
default left alignment.

I use Lyx 1.37 with the document-class article.
thanks Robert



Re: Lyx crash with QT4.3.4 and samba

Hi all,

Thanks for your answers.
Maybe I should have explained that I have mounted the samba share
manually on my machine, and just accessing it through lyx (which sees
it as normal folders then).

Steve:
Try making a subdirectory several deep, INSIDE /home/xxx/Papers, and see if
you can navigate that within LyX. Also, whatever you navigated in LyX to
produce this problem, try it from Windows Explorer (they still have Windows
Explorer, don't they?) and see if anything funky happens there.
Interestingly, subdirectories seem to work ok. I have no problem using
the file browser to access either of the documents.

Jürgen:
Thanks a lot, I do hope it is the same problem, and I will try
installing lyx 1.5.5 as soon as I have a minute.

Daniel:
I guess the precision above answered your questions, if not, let me know!

Regards,
Mélanie

Problems with Lyx output

2008-05-12 Thread Ana Rodriguez
Hello,
 I´ve installed Lyx on my Mac (Macbook, running with Leopard)  for the
first time. I´ve followed the
 instructions and prior to Lyx I have installed MacTeX and then Lyx 1.5.4
 but, whenever I open the Lyx application I get the error message shown here:

The layout file requested by this document article.layout, is not
usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required
by it is not available. See the Customization Documentation for more
information. LyX will not be able to produce output

 Could anyone help me with this?
 I would greatly appreciate it.
 Cheers,
 Anna

I should just go with pure latex as I seem to be spending more time hunting

Could you provide an example file? If I insert your example cases construct

Can't seem to find anything like that in the layout file. The layout was
originally based on amsbook class, I modified it slightly to work with
report class, perhaps that could have something to do with it.

Best choice of 'intermediate' graphics format

2008-05-12 Thread Daniel CLEMENT
Hi,

I have a lot of DSF vector drawings (made under Designer, a Windows
program). They have been exported as EPS.

Now that I am working under Linux, I could import them (the EPS ones) in
LyX. But I need to modify some of them, say, in OOdraw or Inkscape or
Xara...

What do you think would be my best choice as an export format from
Designer? It would be even better if LyX handled it directly. Here is a
sample of export formats offered by Designer: AI, PSD, DXF, MGX, PLT,
IGS, PPF, PNG, SCT, EMF (not to mention WMF).

These graphics will appear in documents for printing and pdf output.

TIA for any advice. Regards,
