increasing TeX capacity
Hi guys, I've nearly finished my thesis but now that I have added in an appendix with 9 tables (128 rows, 9 columns); LyX (TEX) will not compile it. I get the error message: TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size = 350001] If you really absolutely need more capacity you can ask a wizard to enlarge me. Is anybody a wizard/can someone help me enlarge this? Many thanks Simon ps I've already checked Herbert's site and the mail list archive.

Re: myclass.layout not found
Wow it seems that I answered this one yesterday, except that in that case it
seemed that the clown hadn't even bothered to download the IEEE layout files.
Have you done the following.
placed the files in a place where they can be found?
ie
usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
Run texhash from the command line?
Reconfigured LyX?
Restarted LyX?
probably not; so do in that order.
You should also look at this website
http://www.lyx.org/help/
It kicks arse.

For the sake of example we'll assume that the style file is

which is a standard class.
cp report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/myclass.layout
Then edit myclass.layout and change the line:
\DeclareLaTeXClass{report}
to read
\DeclareLaTeXClass[report, myclass.sty]{report (myclass)}
then add:
Preamble
\usepackage{myclass}
EndPreamble
near the top of the file.
Start LyX and... [reconfigure, etc...]
I did all that, verbatim, except that the copy line was:
cp /usr/share/lyx/layouts/report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/myclass.layout
because that's my LyXDir, and there was, indeed a report.layout there.
When I restart LyX and select the Layout-Document popup, I don't see
report (myclass) as I expect.
I must say, I'm a bit confused by the mention first of myclass.sty
and then the subsequent instruction saying myclass.layout. I
tried renaming myclass.layout to myclass.sty, with no effect.
The file report.sty in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/report.sty
doesn't have a line \DeclareLaTeXClass{report} in it, so I assume
the .layout file above is what I should be starting with.
What should I do next?

Chapter format/spacing
Greetings all, I'm trying to condense a big report to make it as small as possible without taking out too many words. I noticed that the Chapter format tends to waste heaps of room on a page. Can someone please let me know how to reduce the length from the top of the page to Chapter X, the length to the Chapter title and the length to the first bit of text. Thanks heaps Simon
