Re: Removing all the "bigskip"'s of a document

2006-07-20 Thread Nicolás
Hola! I can think on two possibilities: 1)Within LyX, search for "\bigskip" and replace it with an empty string. The ERT boxes will still be in the document, but they will be empty. The result will therefore be as they were not there. (This works in LyX 1.4.2, I do not know in 1.3.5)
