Re: Error message: conversion failed (to DVi, PDF or PS)

I've been working on my PhD smoothly for a month now but today I have the following error message when trying to convert my file to DVI/PDF/PS: conversion failed. I had this kind of error message two weeks ago and found the problem: I used the superscript function on a letter. As soon as I removed it, the conversion worked again. But today, I don't have any clue about what is going wrong. I don't find any debug tool on Lyx. Is there any? How to find the origin of the problem to solve it? Hello Olivier, you can try: 1) if Document - Latex Log gives some helpful indication at the end 2) open View - View Source before conversion. LyX might jump to or highlight the offending part in the Source View 3) save your file under a different name and divide-and-conquer (systematically cut out large chunks until it works, to localise the problem). Hope that helps. Please report back what was the cause. /Konrad
