Exporting to RTF
Folks, I need some help. I have an article (for a Newsletter) which I have to deliver today. I am trying unsuccessfully to export my document _at least_ as an RTF to make my colleague's life easy :-). [I still have problems with all kinds of _external_ file formats] I get the following error in the terminal: (Not set):213 Error! More than 100 PushSource() calls Error: Cannot convert file Any hints? Thanks in advance, Nikos
Re: Re: article(APA) does not work in 1.5.x as it did in 1.4.x WAS exporting to rtf?
Thanks for the replies Paul and Juergen, Seems apacite.sty is included in the texlive-bibtex-extra package, so indeed it was not installed. Installing and reconfiguring has solved the problem.

Re: Re: article(APA) does not work in 1.5.x as it did in 1.4.x WAS exporting to rtf?
When I open a document I made in Lyx 1.4.x in 1.5.x LyX complains that APA is unavailable, and the file was working in 1.4.x using that class: The layout file requested by this document, apa.layout, is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output. I have not removed any packages, so I have no idea why apa.layout would now be missing, and have existed before. I can confirm that I have a "layout" file: $ dpkg -L lyx-common | grep apa.layout /usr/share/lyx/layouts/apa.layout I can also confirm I have the APA classfile: $ kpsewhich apa.cls /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/apa/apa.cls The really confusing thing is that as far as I can tell the packages I have in feisty and gusty are the same. When I open the very same file in 1.4.x on feisty I get a different message: The document uses a missing TeX class "apa" LyX will not be able to produce output. Oddly both machines have the same exact same apa.cls. The layout files do differ, but copying the feisty layout into gutsy results in the same error above, after reconfiguring. I can see that LyX is not seeing the apa.cls file on feisty (it does not show up in the TeX information panel) but kpeswhich does say it is installed. On gusty the apa.cls file does show up in TeX information. I solved this one as it seems I had some tetex classes left, I've now installed texlive on the feisty machine, apa.cls does now show up in TeX information, but the same error about the class not being available persists. I can't understand the following: #1. How I was able to create a working article(APA) document in LyX on feisty. (on an machine now upgraded to gutsy) #2. Why that file will not open on gutsy due to a "unsuable" layout file (where the apa.layout files in gutsy and feisty are identical). #3. Why that file will not open on feisty due to a "missing TeX class" (where both feisty and gutsy have installed the same texlive-publishers package that includes the apa.cls class! I I'm really lost at this point and wondering if I imagined this file worked properly using article(APA) Thanks for your time. B. Bogart Juergen Spitzmueller wrote: > B.

I confirm that I do have APA installed: $ kpsewhich apa.cls /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/apa/apa.cls Perhaps apa.layout was included in the ubuntu 1.4.x package, but not in 1.5.1? Don't know the answer to that -- I haven't installed an ubuntu package (yet -- it's on my to-do-someday list). You should be able to find the layout files in /Resources/layouts and confirm whether apa.layout is there. If not, I can easily e-mail it to you. I'm pretty sure you have the layout file, though: you posted earlier that it was listed in LyX as "unavailable". If you didn't have the layout file, it would not be listed at all. You might confirm (via kpsewhich) that apacite.sty is also installed. If I'm reading apa.layout correctly, it tells LyX that apacite.sty is also used. I'm not sure what would happen if the configuration package found apa.cls but not apacite.sty. As of version 1.5.x at least, when you reconfigure LyX, it writes a log file in your user directory (at least on Windows). If present, it will tell you whether it searched for, and whether it found, the APA class. For instance, mine has +checking for document class apa [apa,apacite.sty]... yes If there's no "checking for" message, it didn't see a layout file. If there's a message but it says "no", it found the layout file but not the class or style file(s). /Paul

article(APA) does not work in 1.5.x as it did in 1.4.x WAS exporting to rtf?
Hi all, Apologies for my last message. Turns out indeed RTF export (and all the other explort types) are working, and it was the fact that the file I was using to test was the one using the APA class (so no export was possible). So I reiterate that I was able to use "article(APA)" in 1.4.x, but that it is not working in 1.5.x. I did not create my own apa.layout, I was just able to select it in the document settings.

Re: Re: exporting to rtf?
Thanks Paul, I did indeed do "reconfigure" and restarted LyX. LyX complains about the file with the following: The layout file requested by this document, apa.layout, is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output. I confirm that I do have APA installed: $ kpsewhich apa.cls /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/apa/apa.cls Perhaps apa.layout was included in the ubuntu 1.4.x package, but not in 1.5.1? Nothing about rtf in export either, I can see "Rich Text Format" in "Export" -> "Custom", but "OK" and "Apply" are ghosted. Actually both are ghosted for all the formates listed (See screenshot attached). Perhaps these issues are a packaging problem? If I knew how LyX was supposed to behave I could submit a bug report to ubuntu. Thanks for your efforts. B. Bogart Paul A. Rubin wrote: > B.

exporting to rtf?
Hello all, Is there a way I can export my LyX document as an RTF including footnotes, section references, images and bibliography? I tried exporting as HTML, where most stuff works but not the bibliography. I suppose I would need to manually convert my PDF figures to png? Thanks, B. Bogart
