Hi! I'm using Lyx on a mac (OSX) but am not being able to get the spellchecker to work. I've downloaded the latest version of cocoaspell, installed it, went to system preferences/spelling/dictionaries and put all the dictionaries in the list "on". In Lyx I did preferences/language

I guess this is impossible. Unless someone has had a brainwave since my original post. I've had no reply to this on the Beamer forum or on the comp.text.tex group. I was hoping that someone might have known of a simple Latex switch to switch off the graphics and the article only text, but

I would simply like to say that I think going too far down this road could lead to a lot of effort, and only a marginal return. I think we do need to make LyX better, but I don't think it needs to be too multi-purpose. You know the whole Swiss-Army knife versus a tool that does one thing, but does
