Re: serious syllabling problem using italian
> did latex loads italien correct?? > > http://www.lyx.org/help/language/hyphen.html#wrong > Hi and thanks for your quick reply. By looking at the log i noticed that Latex did not load italian correctly although i specified it in the miktex configuration. I have printed my thesys anyway ... they'll have to live with wrong hypenation i guess. if you know how to convince miktek to behave, let me know :) thanks again Sincerely -- Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]
serious syllabling problem using italian
Hello , i have just printed my master thesis and noticed that all the hiphentations are plain wrong.

how to show bitmaps properly?
Hello i have use the insert "raster image" function.. once i state the png file i want to include the only way i could have it show of reasonable dimension was using the -geometry XXX parameter where XXX is usually something like 300 or 400 although the dimensions are fine, the resolution on paper is extremely bad, even though the images do have a good original resolution. I believe i need to tell him not to downsample the image but just to output at the right DPI Any idea? Thanks -- Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]
big problem 1 - clipboard is dead
Hi people in 5 days i'll have to turn in my thesis i am working on it when i finally realize that for some reason I CANT PASTE TO or copy from lyx anymore. Of course i havent changed anything. I am using lyx under windows 2000, using x-win 32 and the clipboard option seems allright. Anybody heard of such problem before? i copy to the window's clipboard and then try to paste using the center button (wheel button ) or the "paste comamnd" in the menu but with no result whatsoever. Thanks -- Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]
my page numbering has gone away.. this is not nice
Hello people :) for some reason beyond my immediate understanding the "page numbering" of my outcoming .PS or .DVI documents has gone away. now i cant know how long my master thesys is nor can reach page "56" without going 1 by 1. Any help or suggestion really appreciated. Thanks. Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]
image ends on top of other text!
Hello people, i have already spent quite some time on this but with no acceptable solution I have a graph on EXCEL that i want to include in my lyx document. Excel doennt directly export as eps (as some other do) so i procede by printing the file via the adobe reference PS printer (free from adobe) by selecting "EPS" as a output type . Unfortunately this doesnt really work when imported in lyx as the resulting graph is actally laid on top of other text (shifted 2 inches up say..) . GSview shows the same problem (the image appairs with a large offset to the EPS clipping rectangle). To be noticed that the original excel graph is printed on a "landscape" page. and i am starting to believe this has something to do with the whole problem. The only possible solution at the momney seems to be using vertical layout (not the landscape one) then opening GSview.. doing a PS to EPS (although its EPS already) this creates a correctly clipped EPS. Since i really wanted the overall look of the graph to have a "landscape" feel i do one more step into this.. by copypasting the graph to a word document and printing that page. I know i havent been very clear but you probably can get the sense of this problem. Can anyone suggest software, procedures or whatever on how to easily craete graphs in windows applicaitons and having them rightly imported in to lyx? Thanks Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]
no wrap using LyxCode?
Hi.. i have some lyxcode on my thesis and.. its not word wrapping! the long lines go all trough the border of the page. Its not going to look very nice once printed really. Is this "normal" ? same thing happens to 1 long url i have pasted somewhere (not lyxcode) Thanks for any suggestion and advice. Sincerely Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The result in lyx looks and feels completely awkward .. its HUGE and there is no easy way to make it smaller ( i have tried setting the column width but ended up in nasty word wrappings and yet a lot of unwanted blank spaces all over.. and ended up with some error message (missing fullpage.sty ?) yet another file not found :( i should have downloaded the 300 mb installation of miktex i guess..) I tried to copy paste to fix the table (whose colums are completely wrong..) but with little or no results (if you copy some values off a table and try to paste them outside a table you get.. nothing :) For how sad it seems i think i am back with word 2000 which works seamlessly in doing this kind of operations.. This opens up a question: if you leave alone the fact that lyx is free.. and that the underlying latex is supposely bug free. why features does lyx offer that word doesnt? (the contrary isnt really to be asked :) ) . I mean.. all the manual is boasting about has (internal references, footnotes etc etc.. ) are all things that have existed for at least 5 years in Word, and the equation editor its the same (if not plain better) than the one offered in Lyx. Really this is not meant to be polemic or anything.. but i would be rather happy if someone offered me a good reason why does it stil lmake sense to use it under a windows environment. Thanks!

Coping and pasting tables from SPSS
Hello people, i am a student in engeneering trying to use lyx to write my master thesis. Although entusiast at the beginning of the journey (leaving "Word" behind seemed so attractive) i am now loosing entusiasm over the inability to import objects (tables, graphs etc..) from other applications as well as the apparent impossibility to really decide where things should go. Needless to say i am working on a windows 2000 environment. Example.. i am using SPSS (very advanced statistical program) and it produces graphs and tables. Graphs i can export to EPS and therefore have them in my lyx document, no problems about that. but what about tables?? tables dont offer the "export to eps" option and there seem to be no way to include them in lyx without COMPLETELY REWRITING THEM (which is not an option since i have several tables filled with values). Of course if i open Word .. all i have to do is a copy/paste sequence and the table appairs in that environmanent as well. .ready to be nicely included. I have tried alternative approaches.. SPSS offers me to save the table in "text mode" which is simply a ASCII formatted table assuming font is NON proportional. Needless to say LYX's "no double space, no tab, no double enter" basic rule is preventing this to work in any way. I have tried to use "LYX CODE" style which i understood as being more liberal about this but the results are still awkward. printing the table to a fake postcript printer and then importing it might do the trick. but then i have serious problem "cutting" the resulting eps file which always has the dimensions of a damn a4 file and therefore the table shows an enourmous and (to my knowledge) unavoidable blank space. (Since , of course, there is no "crop" option in lyx. Should I abandon and go back to Word? hoping not, i ask for your advice. P.S what about that !H in the float placement dialog that doesent really work?? if i say i REALLY mean it (using the ! )i would expect the whole thing to work so that if i write In this table : TABLE FLOAT I can se that etc.. it would work. Then why need a float since i want it RIGHT THERE? easy.. a float seem to be the only way to number a table so that i can later refer to it as table X. Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]
