Fwd: Re: How to print change bars
Jane,
Still no luck.
I tried your suggestion, but when I tried to View-PDF Lyx came up with
an
error box saying dvipspost failed.
I then tried an slocate dvipspost which came up blank implying that I
don't
have a dvipspost converter?
I've also looked through the Wiki page again but couldn't see anything
that
was helpfull to this problem. I think the Wiki page was the one that I
originally used for its installation instructions.
Thanks again
Roger

Go to the menu bar and choose Edit Preferences Converters DVI -

See if that does the trick for you. There are more details on setting
this all up on the Wiki page -

Let me know if this works.

Jane,
I checked the dvipost version using the command line. It shows version
1.0.
Following is my preamble, in case you can spot something amiss there.
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
\usepackage{dvipost}
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\makeatother
\lhead{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
%Set fixed vertical justification
\raggedbottom
I'm wondering if this problem may be due to an attempt to upgrade teTex
that I made awhile ago. As the upgrade was unsuccessful (many things
wouldn't work) I reverted to the original version. I think that it was
after that episode that just a few problems arose to do with conversion
such as having to run View twice for a first printing during a Lyx
session.
Its not only that the change bars are not shown. Deleted text (strike
throughs) print but without the strike through.
Seems like dvipost isn't being invoked.
If I ever discover what's causing the problem I'll let you know.
I wonder what will happen with Lyx 1.4?
Regards
Roger

Re: How to print change bars
Roger: Hmm. I'm not sure what to suggest. If you have dvipost installed, you've reset the outer margin, and you are creating the PDF from View PDF (dvipdfm) then I'm stumped. I would doublecheck the installation and review the Wiki page, be sure that change bars are on, and try it again. Let us know what you find. I'm curious. I know the margin thing stumped me for awhile, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening with you. thanks, --jane On Thu, 2005-08-04 at 10:06 +1000, Roger McMurtrie wrote: Jane Thanks for the suggestion.
