 Note that Springer usually requires that your .bib file contains only
 the references you use in your manuscript. If you have a  bib file
 with other references (as most people do), you should save it as a new
 file and then eliminate all the extra references (how to do that
 depends on which software you use to manage your references).
 

If you use Jabref as a bib manager, you can create a bib file, with the used 
references only, on the command line:

jabref -a filename[.aux],newBibfile[.bib]

I find this useful, especially if you are using several bib files and many

Or just copy (not move) the file that you already have.

Re: QSL card template

2012-04-18 Thread Mark Livingstone 
Hi Steve,

It was about 40 yrs ago when I was in the Boy Scouts back in South
Africa that I was first exposed to Ham Radio, but like most people was
put off by morse code. Well now that is optional, and here in
Australia the Foundation License is very achievable even if you have
no prior radio / electronics knowledge. It was five nights course and
a quick theory  practical exam which I did a month or so ago.

QSL cards for those who do not know are used to confirm contacts over
the air between ham radio operators. They are highly sought after -
particularly if you get one from a more unusual country of the world.
Generally they are post card sized, and are individualised by each
ham. If you have a look at:

http://www.qsl.net/n9bt/qsl_template.htm

there is a word doc template showing the basic data needed.

What I was thinking was that, if you are like me, every time you buy
ink for your inkjet, they upsell you to a 3 pack, and you end up with
some 4x6 photo paper. I was thinking of making it that size which
makes it easier than having to get cardboard stock. You could then
print a blank and handfill it, or make it really beautiful and use Lyx
to fill in, then print. I don't know how they do it but you have those
PDFs which you can fill in the box onscreen - that could even make the
solution Lyx independent if you must!

I know that in the USA alone there are  700,000 current ham radio
operators, so there must be millions worldwide. Who knows, maybe there
are some that are Lyx users to give their ideas :-)

Thanks in advance,

MarkL vk4fmrk

ink for your inkjet, they upsell you to a 3 pack, and you end up with
some 4x6 photo paper. I was thinking of making it that size which
makes it easier than having to get cardboard stock. You could then
print a blank and handfill it, or make it really beautiful and use Lyx
to fill in, then print. I don't know how they do it but you have those
PDFs which you can fill in the box onscreen - that could even make the
solution Lyx independent if you must!

I know that in the USA alone there are > 700,000 current ham radio
operators, so there must be millions worldwide. Who knows, maybe there
are some that are Lyx users to give their ideas :-)

Thanks in advance,

LFUN: self-insert a space?

2012-04-18 Thread Xu Wang 
I can't seem to self-insert a space. I'm sure I could come up with a hack
for entering a letter and a space and a letter and then using char-backward
to delete the two letters, but I'm guessing there's an easier way.

Thank you for the help, Xu
