The complex examples supplied with Beamer mostly did not work on my systems (SuSE 9, 9.3, 10, 10.2). You need a recent version of Beamer. So check if you have an actual one installed. LyX has its own example files. Lok in LyX's example file folder. When some of them don't work, please report this at bugzilla.lyx.org. regards Uwe

The complex examples supplied with Beamer mostly did not work on my systems (SuSE 9, 9.3, 10, 10.2). Even when it works, you get error messages (if you invoke LyX from the command line), about counters. These don't seem to matter. > > Powerdot is also nicefor me, somewhat easier to > use. But, at least for SuSE, very difficult to install. I found myself in dependency hell and gave up!

Regards Michael P.S.: thanks a lot for programme, documentation and your work. It is extremely useful. The Beamer user guide is great, and it explicitly explains many (though perhaps not all) of the ways that building the presentation in LyX deviates from doing it with "raw" LaTeX. /Paul

I would like to write my first presentation on LyX, but since I am a dummy I will need a Tutorial. I looked for it in the manuals (and in the web) but I can't find any (but since I am a dummy I probably missed out on it) Is there a way to save my soul from falling back to powerpoint? You can have a look at tutorial.lyx, details.lyx etc under http://simupop.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/simupop/trunk/doc/, along with the pdf versions (e.g. http://simupop.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/simupop/trunk/doc/tutorial.pdf). You will not be able to open it until RC2 is released because it is created using the latest svn version of lyx. Cheers, Bo

Beamer is nice Powerdot is also nicefor me, somewhat easier to use. LyX also has doc type "slides" which is easy to start with. Phil Shape Yahoo! in your own image. Join our Network Research Panel today! http://surveylink.yahoo.com/gmrs/yahoo_panel_invite.asp?a=7

The Beamer documentation is the most beautiful I've ever read and you find there everything you need to know. It also contains a section about style guidelines for presentations in general. You can find the documentation at the usual place for LaTeX-package documentations in your LaTeX-distribution. I looked for it in the manuals (and in the web) but I can't find any (but since I am a dummy I probably missed out on it) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_%28LaTeX%29 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/ Is there a way to save my soul from falling back to powerpoint? Don't expect that everything is better using Beamer. The output is very nice and the audience usually love it, but it costs much more time to produce a presentation with LaTeX. regards Uwe
