Eq numbering in ams article

[Neal Becker]

In ams article, if I don't put a \section, equations are numbered as 0.1, 
0.2, etc.  What can I do about that?

e.g. and other dots that do not end sentences

[Niko Schwarz]

Hello!

How do you type things like e.g. in lyx? If you do not take special
care, it is translated to latex merely as e.g. and therefore creates
a giant space after the abbreviation. How to avoid that?

Cheers,

Niko

Insert - Formatting - Inter-Word Space

or you can insert a protected space that will prevent line breaks on  
that space if you want.  You can right-click on the space and change  
its type.

I don't use windows anymore. But as I recall, even with that

Perhaps doing that instead of maximizing it would make your need to

system where at any given time I might use any given finger of either
hand to hit any given key depending on which finger or hand has
had longer to rest... Then I can keypunch for hours and hours before my
hands begin to go numb.

I dislike mouse methods because I can't keep the dang pointer where
I want it, long enough to click on it... And about the only thing
that makes my hand go numb faster than the time I tried to learn

Hi,

I'm no good at (La)TeX, so I'm not certain I'm even using the right 
terminology.


I created a little article (a paper for a Linux course I'm tutoring)
using LyX, and
over all the results are great. My only problem is that the text on
several pages
runs over the page number.  What do I need to change to stop this?

I've tried both article, article (KOMA script), book, letter (w/ and w/o 
koma),

always with similar results.
