It is needed whenever you have to add something after \end{letter}. Normally, 
LyX just puts an \end{letter} automatically at the end of the document.

One use case are serial letters. See the serial letter examples shipped with 
LyX.

 The reason I ask is
 that I'm sending a client a letter proposal and I want to attach two other
 .lyx files after the signature/close of the main letter. Yes, I can
 probably add them as separate pdf pages using pdftk, but I'd like to have
 it all as a single file within LyX if possible.

I'm not aware of such a possibility. Using the PDFpages external inset after 
the closing seems to work, though.

If there is a way to add attachments to a KOMA-Script2 letter, please
 point me to the documentation on how to do this.

Alas, I do not currently have NeoOffice installed on my machine.

Enumerate is the same

Hello, 

I have three enumerations: 1,2,3.  The problem is when I try and type the
word OR between the enumerations, they begin renumbering at 1, instead of
2 and 3.  Basically, I have three #1's.  How can I keep enumerate in
descending order, while having a standard word in between?

Two ways, depending on what you want:

1. Look at the User's Guide, §3.4.5, especially the example in
§3.4.5.4. In short, you can nest a standard paragraph in between the
enumerations.

2. Use the Customizable Lists (enumitem) module, and then select the
Enumerate-Resume environment instead of Enumerate. In this case,
no nesting of intervening paragraphs is needed. Information on this
module (and enumitem) can be found here:

Re: PDF (pdflatex) View Missing

[Paul Rubin]

You might also grep the preferences file in that folder; entries in preferences
override those in lyxrc.defaults.

If that also looks reasonable, you might rename the entire .lyx directory to
something else (for safekeeping) and then restart LyX.  It should create a new
.lyx directory.  I've seen reports of odd or inexplicable problems that
persisted until the user directory was regenerated (although I think those were
mainly if not exclusively on Windows).

A letter to several addressees, where the address, the greeting etc. are taken 
from an address database. KOMA-script provides this functionality.

Ah, cool. I didn't know this.

Enumerate is the same

[Charles]

Hello, 

I have three enumerations: 1,2,3.  The problem is when I try and type the
word "OR" between the enumerations, they begin renumbering at 1, instead of
2 and 3.  Basically, I have three #1's.  How can I keep enumerate in
descending order, while having a standard word in between?

Thanks

Charles

Two ways, depending on what you want:

1. Look at the User's Guide, §3.4.5, especially the example in
§3.4.5.4. In short, you can nest a standard paragraph in between the
enumerations.

2. Use the "Customizable Lists (enumitem)" module, and then select the
"Enumerate-Resume" environment instead of "Enumerate". In this case,
no nesting of intervening paragraphs is needed. Information on this
module (and enumitem) can be found here:

Yes, that looks all ok to me

rd@blackbox:~/.lyx$ grep pdf2 lyxrc.defaults|grep -v pdf2ps
\Format pdf2   pdf"PDF (pdflatex)"F  "xdg-open" ""  
"document,vector"
\converter pdflatex   pdf2   "pdflatex $$i" "latex"
rd@blackbox:~/.lyx$ 

Thanks,
Rainer

Re: highlight current line or make cursor bigger?

[Jose Quesada]

Is there any way we can have a cursor say 10-pixel wide?
It doesn't feel like it would be very hard to implement (correct me if I'm
wrong).
It's a tiny detail, but it may help a lot improve the overall user
experience. Some people may not notice, but tracking a 1-pixel-wide thing
burns a lot of attentional resources...

Thanks,
-Jose

advanced search and replace should leave you where you were after finishing

[Jose Quesada]

Hi,

I notice that when I do a search-replace, at the end I'm at the beginning of
the doc.
advanced search and replace should leave you where you were after finishing,
Otherwise it breaks the writting flow.
Again, a very minor usability issue.

Thanks!

Re: PDF (pdflatex) View Missing

[Paul Rubin]

You might also grep the preferences file in that folder; entries in preferences
override those in lyxrc.defaults.

If that also looks reasonable, you might rename the entire .lyx directory to
something else (for safekeeping) and then restart LyX.  It should create a new
.lyx directory.  I've seen reports of odd or inexplicable problems that
persisted until the user directory was regenerated (although I think those were
mainly if not exclusively on Windows).

As sub- and super-scripts, for instance

\sum_{i=1}^{N}

If you are using the math toolbar, after clicking the sigma button, use the
subscript and superscript buttons (toward the left of the toolbar).  Be sure to
exit the subscript (or superscript, whichever you use first) before starting the
other one.
