Re: Cutting and pasting in tables
I think this is fixed in http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/32570. Sorry, but I am not a developer, so I cannot really decipher the content of that page. Do you mean that the bug is fixed in 1.6.5? I mean that it is fixed yes, but I'm afraid that my time-travelling capabilities are a bit rusty, so it didn't made 1.6.5 ;-) Vincent

Sorry, it's the keyboard shortcut for italicizing/emphasis in Mac. I do as much as I can with the keyboard :) >>Oh, sorry--forgot to mention that this "sticky >>formatting" persists even when cutting and pasting >>or copying objects between cells.

Select a word and change the formatting to italics, using keyboard. 2. Copy the selected word, using keyboard. 3. Paste text. Typing either after pasting or before pasting is not in italics, as long as this is done outside of tables.

When everything you need is now working, I recommend not to touch your installation any further.

Re: Missing Aspell ?
Thank. Yes I am on XP Home. For some reason I have been forgetting to specify this in this thread. I simply installed ASPELL and ran a reconfigure. Spell checker seems to be working now. Do you think that I should reinstall anyway in case I am missing some functionality that I have not noticed is missing?

Definitely a happy camper.

Lyx used for a fench book: a great experience
Hi, I have helped an author (not a geek but rather an everage office user) to use Lyx for writing her book (in french) and the feedback I got is very positive (this should not come as a surprise, but I thought it was still worth sharing). She is using the memoir class, and the latex preamble contains the chapter layout config and versals definition. The book is published by self edition (http://thebookedition.com) and a big advantage of Lyx was that going from the A4 layout used during the preparation to an A5 layout used for the published book took exactly 2 minutes. There has been a problem at one time with hyphenation, but due to some language packages missing. Once those packages were installed, hyphenation was fine. The author is so enthousiastic about Lyx that she started a series of blog posts on her blog (in french: http://evedennels.com ) about Lyx. I wanted to share this positive experience, and thanks all Lyx contributors! Keep the good work!

Re: Tufte layout?
How to get an tufte-book style like title block (capitalized sans serif)
in Handout (Tufte) in LyX:
The possible document options of both the tufte-book and -handout classes
and other features can be looked after, of course, in the sample-book.pdf,
see:
http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/files/sample-book-3.5.0.pdf
And other questions on the tufte-latex classes or feature requests might
better be discussed in the Mailing List / Forum of the tufte-latex project
at:
http://groups.google.com/group/tufte-latex?hl=en
Nevertheless,
after the information how to get the tufte classes working in LyX, already
given in this thread, and to make around this thread on "Tufte layout?", I
would like to give to all interested a last hint about a document option
alternative in tufte-handout which even me discovered only some day ago:
If in handout you want to get a tufte-book style like title block
(capitalized sans serif) instead of the handout default roman italic, you
have to choose the document option
sfsidenotes
- in LyX to type into the Document=>Options=>Document class pane, section
Class options => User defined (field).
This is coupled, for the time being, with typesetting the margin material
("footnotes", marginnotes etc.) also in sans serif.
(I had always put this doc options because of sans serif sidenotes and
discovered only now the possibility of getting roman italic title block
when deleting this sfsidenote option).
So far my final hint within this thread,
joachim

Betreff: Re: Tufte layout? Here the patched tufte-common.def!
Datum: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:47:48 +0100
URL: news://
as promised, here you get the information, how and where to get the
tufte-common.def file, patched by the developer for the use with LyX.
Call http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tufte-common.def
in your browser, save it as such (or .txt file and rename it then to
tufte-common.def) and put it on the place of the existing, overwriting it.
I. e. into your user _home_ "texmf" directory - on my Mac that is:
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/tufte-latex/
Might be that you have to create some of these sub-directories first.
Unfortunately I don't know which one and where it is in MiXTeX…
I understood that you have already installed the actuel LyX 1.6.5 (of
2009/12/05), so you need not to download the LyX layout files from the LyX
website.
Don't forget sudo texhash (on Mac) and LyX=>reconfigure,
then you should be ready to go with the tufte-latex classes in LyX!
Happy LxXing with tufte-latex!
joachim
