Hi

I am new to LaTex/MiKTeX and Lyx.

I have loaded MiKTeX and LyX 2.3.61

I have also installed the packages:

      actuarialsymbols

 actuarialangle

in MiKTeX to create actuarial symbols.

How do I use these packages in LyX?

eg: \actsymbol{A}{x}

*Regards*

Hi Bill,

If you want to use a package that is not internally supported by LyX, 
you have to add it manually in the preamble and put the desired command 
into a TeX Code inset (aka ERT).


Add the package to the preamble:
1. Select "Settings" in the "Document" menu which opens the "Document 
Settings" dialog.

2. In the dialog, select "LaTeX Preamble" on the left side and put

\usepackage{actuarialsymbols}
\usepackage{actuarialangle}

3. Press "OK" in the dialog.

Put the command into a TeX Code inset:
1. Put the cursor where you want to add the command in your document.
2. Insert "TeX Code" from the "Insert" menu (there is also a shortcut 
indicated next to the menu which allows you to do this quicker).

3. In TeX Code inset (red box) add your command, e.g. \actsymbol{A}{x}.

I'll do it ASAP, no time so far.

There's one thing I'd like to check, though: it's about the package
qt4-qtconfig. I don't know how I came across this one, but I found it
allowed to customize the LyX GUI menu size/font (default is much too
small to my taste).

The question is: do we really need this package, or can we achieve the
same result without it (possibly by tweaking some configuration file)?

  qtconfig has been in Qt since well before version 4. It affects _all_ apps
that use the Qt widget set.

  You cannot make the Qt-specific changes in a single application; it's
widget-set dependent.

Hi everybody

I'm running Lyx.1.0.1 within a tetex-latex 0.9.2.. 

I'd like to know how to install some latex packages such as  easy talbe, long
table etc and, after this, make them work at lyx. 

Thank you very much

Here is a possible procedure (I suppose that the texmf tree is owned by root, 
you must be root to do it)
 - if you have not done it already, create a site_latex dir in the texmf tree, eg
mkdir /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex
 (this will ease upgrades)
 - go to site_latex and make it public
cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex;chmod 755 .
 - check that the required package is not here, eg
kpsewhich longtable.sty
 - if not, go to the nearest CTAN archive and ask for the package (e.g. foo)
 - download the files (generally two files: foo.ins  for the install
 and foo.dtx for the doc stuff) in ./foo after a 
mkdir foo; chmod 755 foo; cd foo
 - latex the two files and make the sty, tex and dvi files public
chmod 444 *.cls *.tex *.sty *.dvi
 - run texhash
 - test from a plain user login, either \documentclass{foo}, \usepackage{foo} or 
\input{foo} 
 
In fact you may have a similar procedure for the bst files in the bibtex part
of the texmf ree; I think that you have often bst files coming in with packages
and that it is simpler to add site_latex in the BSTINPUTS path of texmf.cnf
and keep every imported latex-related stuff in one place.
