Index creation fails
Hi,
I just recently started having a problem generating an index using LyX.
This was working just fine at one point, however now it refuses to
produce an index.
I was using LyX 1.1.6fix3. Once the problem started occuring I decided
to finally upgrade to the latest version, 1.3.2 which didn't resolve my
problem.
After exporting the LyX document to Tex I checked through to make sure
the necessary parameters were in the file and indeed '\makeindex' was
there, the typical index entry looked like 'text\index{item1} text' and
found at the end of my document was my index '\printindex{}'.
I then ran makeindex by hand using the flags '-p -s', which I read is
what LyX uses by default and got the following results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] IPS-1.5]$ makeindex -p -s IPS-1.5.tex
This is makeindex, version 2.13 [07-Mar-1997] (using kpathsea).
Scanning input file IPS-1.5.tex...done (0 entries accepted, 11062 rejected).
Nothing written in IPS-1.5.ind.
Transcript written in IPS-1.5.ilg.
I have makeindex installed on a RH 7.2 system from the tetex package
(tetex-1.0.7-38.3).
The only changes I can think of that may have recently changed was
possibly an updated tetex package, which may have included an update
makeindex. However I am uncertain of this.
Thanks,
-Nick

Re: Formatting difficulties
Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. It seems that the document is off centered to the right. I have 2.5 of margin on the left and 2.0 on the right. If I reduce the left margin in LyX by .25 and increase the right margin by .25 nothing happens. It seems that the left/right margins do not work properly and just increase one margin only. I will have to play with the GhostScript settings as well. I didn't think to check that. Thanks. -Nick Paul A.

Formatting difficulties
Hey guys, I have this document that I need to format to be 5.5x8.5 with 0.375 margins all around. I have the paper size set to 5.5x8.5 and the margins set at 0.375 in the documents properties. I export it to PDF and it makes it a full 8.5x11 sheet. So then I exported it a PostScript and used 'psnup' with the margin (-m) option set to 1.75 to center the page without resizing when converted to PDF. This works. However the document is off centered by 0.50 on the page. I try changing the margins in the Lyx settings, I try changing the margin setting in psnup to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? The version of LyX I am using is 1.1.6fix4 and Ghostscript 6.51. Thanks, -Nick

margin settings per page
Hey guys, I am trying to change the margins locally for one page only leaving the margins I set on the remaining pages as they were. I can't figure out how to do this? Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks. Regards, -Nick
Re: margin settings per page
I keep getting Undefined control sequence...
Also, will this change just the text length or all margins? I guess
what I want to do is take all my current margins, top, left, right,
bottom which are all set to 1in and reduce them to 0in for this one
page, which happens to be the first page of the document.

In ERT
\addtolength{\foo}{1cm}
then
\addtolength{\foo}{-1cm}
to restore the original setting.
AFAIR, this acts a soon as the command is anywhere in the page.
where \foo is the required margin to change.
This applies to all elements of the page layout as described
in the Latex2e docs.

i guess you want the headers always in two-sided mode.
you can choose one side and modify the headers with fancyhdr
for even and odd pages.
You can also use the two-side mode and set the margins to the same lenght
with the latex commands
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{...}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{...}
in lyx mode of course.

Re: twoside margin shifting
Thanks for your help :) I got the section information into my headers :) Is there any really good resources, besides this mailing list, I can find LyX/LaTeX information? I spent a couple hours trying to find this information yesterday to no avail :( Also, how would I go about modifying the headers for single-side mode so they still alternate? When I set it to single mode it takes the first fancyhead and fancyfoot setting and applies that. How can I modify it to work the same as two-side?

LyX Font exportation
When I convert my Lyx generated documentation to PostScript and then from PostScript to PDF the PDF looks terrible. The fonts look like a ransom note or something.
