It seems that bibtex or lyx/latex decides this order based on the name of the author. Is it possible to have effect on this order in another way, than to change this name?

Re: bibtex screen problem on a netbook

I recently installed LyX 1.6.4 using the Windows alternate installer. I run into trouble when I try to insert a bibtex reference list. All goes well until I actually try to insert the citation. I can select the citation, citation format etc, but then the citation window is too large for me to click the okay a button at the bottom of the that window. The citation window extends off the bottom of my physical screen.I don't seem to be able to get the window to size properly. I can widen or narrow it but I cannot change its height. Control arrows appear at the top or at the corners but do not have any effect. I get the same problem using LyTex with it's 1.6.3 version of LyX. I am having no problem with LyX or Lytex on a standard PC with Windows XP Pro. Can anyone suggest a solution or work around?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.4 is released
Great! I would really like to use this version because of more stability. Currently I use Lyx 1.6.3 to write my thesis. Thereby I am very careful and would like to know if it might result in any problem if I change my current version of Lyx?

Problem with table
Hello, I have a problem to build a table with different rows in the columns. For Example: I have 4 rows and 2 columns. How is it possible to merge the 4 rows in the first column? Or something else to get the text in the first column centered vertically? The rows in the second column should be untouched and with lines because I need the partitioning there. The only way I know to manage this problem works with an odd number of rows: For example if I have 3 rows, I just write in the second row and delete the lines over and below it. So the text in the first column is centered vertically. Of course this doesn't work with an even number of rows :( Any hints to solve this problem? (I bet that it's simple, but I don't understand :) ) Greets

Happened to me after I disabled both auto-update and full view with the next start of LyX. Someone got an idea? find ~/.config/LyX/LyX-1.6.2.conf and change the lines with view-source to look like: 0\view-source\fullsource=false 0\view-source\autoupdate=true Günter This is fixed in 1.6.3. It is easier to turn on the view source window again by entering the following command in the command buffer twice: "buffer-toggle-read-only". (And make sure you check one of the two checkboxes after that, before closing all open documents or opening a read-only document). Vincent "buffer-toggle-read-only" That's it! Thank you very much! The problem is, that in Debian only Lyx 1.6.2 is available... But with your command it shouldn't be a problem :) Matthias

I really would like to use Lyx only on Linux, but at work there's only Windows XP where I can write my Thesis. Perhaps I should write it in Word and import the text at home on Linux...

If I just type lots of characters in really short time, lyx needs longer to illustrate the text in the display (I can watch the illustration of characters after stop typing).
