Re: Need Urgent Help

[Ankur Verma]

Hi Liviu.

Thanks for your reply.

The problem which I am facing is solved when I remove the equations from
.lyx file.  Now, I can successfully  export the pdf from the  .lyx file,
without the equations.   But I cannot export a pdf or dvi, when I copy the
equations into the .lyx file.

I am using Lyx 1.5.4 version on Win XP platform.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Ankur Verma

 Difficult to judge. Let's start with the obvious: what platform, LyX
 version, TeX distribution do you use? Can you post somewhere on the
 net the problematic file? What document class do you use? Is there
 anything specific about the text you delete? Do you have the same
 problem when you simply File  Export and then manually open the
 resulting, say, .pdf with a PDF viewer?

I'd try exporting the lyx file to latex and looking at the latex file produced.

Which equations cause the problem? All of them?

Perhaps you could provide either the LyX file with the problem, the
Latex file generated and/or an example of an equation that is causing
you trouble.

You can navigate to the equation giving you trouble and View-View
Source and then cut and paste the LaTeX Source into your email.

Could not say whether this would lead anywhere, but how exactly did
you enter the equations (using ERT or graphically through LyX)? If you
use equations, wouldn't you need to use some specific pacakge in the
Preamble? It might also help to check whether this is a font problem.

Re: Need Urgent Help

Hi Liviu and John.

Thank you for your help.

I am entering the equations graphically thorugh LyX. After some tweaking, I
can succesfully export the pdf from it, but don't know how is it working!

I entered the equation and they were in blue color like this:

RH=c1+c2*result+c3*result^{2}

but when I clicked around the equation for some time and pressed space bar,
it turned into black color whose view was like the actual equation (like the
one we will see in the final pdf document).

I am happy that it is working, but would like to know how it did?

Thanks guys for your help. LyX is really cool!

Sincerely,
Ankur Verma
