Re: LyX

[Maaneli D]

Hi again, 

How can I add more colors (specifically, orange and purple) to the text style 
options? Also, is it possible to color the section numbers, along with the 
section name (e.g. make 1 Introduction all in blue)?

Thanks,
Maaneli

  Dear Uwe,
  
  Hello again.
  
  I recently managed to download LyX successfully, and I
 am currently writing
  a paper with it. However, there are a couple of things
 I would like to do
  with the paper which I don't see how to do from
 reading the LyX user
  guide, and I was hoping you could perhaps point me in
 the right direction.
  
  1. I would like to be able to modify my footnotes so
 that instead of being
  labeled by numbers, they can be labeled by the star or
 diamond or clover
  symbols, or any other symbol I prefer.
  
  2. I would like to be able to create the red box link
 on my footnotes so
  that I can click on them in the main text, and they
 can send me directly
  to the corresponding footnote text at the bottom of
 the page.
  
  Please let me know if I should clarify anything.
  
  Thanks,

I tried installing your complete version of

   times. And each time it fails at the point where
 it tries to
   install MiKTeX, and then it aborts the
 installation.
   
   What is the error message you get? Do you have a
   screenshot?
   As it doesn't work for you, try to install MiKTeX
 before
   you install LyX using the small version of my
 installer.
   Assure that you uninstall MiKTeX _completely_
 before
   reinstalling.

Re: Figure Float Label

 When I cross reference a figure float called Figure 2, the cross

Have a look at Document  Settings...  Modules, and if Number Figures by
Section is in the Selected: box, highlight and delete it.  I think it gets
selected automagically with certain document classes, such as article (AMS). 
With article (AMS), the figure is also numbered 2.1 (including in the GUI), so
I'm not positive that's what's going on with your document.  If not, try posting

Re: LyX

[Maaneli D]

Hi again,

I'm noticing a couple of problems with my LyX program. 

1. When I attempt to spellcheck my document (I go to the spellchecker under 
Tools), it always gives me the following error: The spellchecker could not be 
started. LyX: Failed to start ispell!

2. When I use the search under Help for checking spelling and grammar, it says 
With the document open, choose Edit  'Spelling and Grammar'  Check Document 
Now. However, when I go to Edit with my document open, I cannot find the 
Spelling and Grammar option.

3. In the second section of my paper, I have added a numbered formula (the 
second formula of the entire paper), and for no reason it is unevenly placing 
the formula closer to the continuing text in the same paragraph, and I can't 
seem to change it by rewriting the formula and text. Also, the correct number 
of the formula does not show up (it still shows formula number (!), even though 
it is the second formula of the paper).

Please advise. 

Thanks in advance,
Maaneli

bib-style: field file filled with path to doc?

[Jannick Asmus]

Most of my references are stored on my hard drive, there path is 
contained in the bib-item infos (field file). Is there any bib-style 
such the path is printed out as link into the reference list such that a 
click opens it?


Thanks as always.

Re: A path for the Bibliography files

[Justin Wood]

Windows users can create symlinks too. If they're still stuck on XP, you can
use junction 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx(with
some messing about); anyone using Vista and up can use the native
'mklink' command for files directly. I do exactly this for my own .bib files
in the TEXMF local tree: symlink (or hard link if you prefer) to the source
.bib file in Dropbox, under both OS X and Win7.
