Zoom in in LyX 2.0

Hi,

I love the new release, but working on a Mac, I don't know how to zoom in
using keyboard shortcuts (and my laptop doesn't have a scroll wheel for
zooming). Zooming out still works as CTRL + -, but what's the binding for
zooming in?

I can confirm that this does not work at all. It seems that LyX skips 
the preprocessing step for included files (it also fails for children 
using the sweave module, for example). I am not sure if this was working

Help me out of .doc

2011-03-21 Thread Hannu Vuolasaho 

Hello!

I made small edition to my final thesis in Word and now it looks terrible 
again. I want to get rid of it. I have more important things to do than keep 
document's layout in looking good.

I have been playing with openoffice writer2latex and lyx for several hours 
without notable success.

So could someone import this template doc 
http://edu3.tokem.fi/TIEDOSTOT/Tekniikka/Opinnaytetyon_malli_Versio_3_3_21_9_2010.doc
 to lyx and send it back to me if I ask nicely? That doc has three styles. 
Cover, beginning and the rest of it. Also appendices need one style more but 
I'll figure that out by myself when I get there. No header or footer and 
pagenumbers restart. I believe that's easy.

It seems to be too big task for a newbie who just read trough some tutorials 
and FAQs. Results should be quite similiar so that when the document is printed 
(or PDFed) you can't say which one is from real tool and which is from MS Word.

I believe after I have lyxfile to play, I can copy, paste and adapt to the rest 
of document. Or is this one of those things that I have to just live with and 
hate those who made computer easy to use?

My equation is flowing off the page. What can I do?

2011-03-21 Thread Patrick Li 
Hello everyone,

I am a complete beginner to Lyx and am enjoying it immensely. I have
typesetted a page of math with it using the eqnarray environment, and now
the equations are too long and are flowing off the page. However, there is
still lots of space on the left hand side of the page. The reason the
equations run off the page is because Lyx insists on placing the = sign in
the center of the page. What can I do to get Lyx to move all my equations to
the left a bit?

Thanks a lot

I presume that at least one line in the eqnarray environment on the 
left-hand side has some expression there.  For all lines in that 
multi-line environment, the = signs will be aligned to allow enough for 
that LHS.  You could re-write that left-hand side to shorten it, or 
maybe arrange things like:


  A
= B
= C

instead.  BTW, unless something else is going on, this is a TeX issue,

the = sign in the center of the page. What can I do to get Lyx to move
all my equations to the left a bit?


I presume that at least one line in the eqnarray environment on the 
left-hand side has some expression there.  For all lines in that 
multi-line environment, the = signs will be aligned to allow enough for 
that LHS.  You could re-write that left-hand side to shorten it, or 
maybe arrange things like:


  A
= B
= C

instead.  BTW, unless something else is going on, this is a TeX issue, 
not LyX.

And some that die deserve life.  Can you give it to them?  Then do not
be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
