Printing/Export problem
Hi. I'm having trouble getting Lyx to export more than the first page to any format at all. Some older documents I have written don't seem to have any problems, but I'll be writing a new document in Lyx and suddenly I can't seem to get it to do anything beyond exporting the first page. I opened an older document and previewed it in DVI, and then tried the new file in DVI again, and it worked. Is anyone else having this problem or do I just have something wrong with my setup on this machine? (I'll try to be more specific on what libraries I'm running if anyone knows which ones would be related to this. My system is running Redhat 6.1. I originally had Lyx 1.0.4, upgraded to 1.1.4fix1, and am still having the same problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.) Best C Y __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
