Math font problem in Mac-LyX 1.3.5
Hi all, I've just installed the new Mac-LyX 1.3.5, and it seems faster on my 120 page document than 1.3.4 was, so I guess the efficiency problem is partly solved (but it's still only about 1/2 as fast as LyX/Xforms). BUT: there's another problem now: Math symbols becomes garbage! I've tried several fonts and sizes, and the result is the same. The old version (1.3.4) still works fine. (Note: it's just the LyX window that looks strange -- the LaTeX code and the dvi files are just fine). I've put some pictures of how it looks and how it looked, together with the source LyX file on my webpage (I don't want to send images by mail): http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~peb/temp/ regards, Peter Ljunglöf --- --- Peter Ljunglöf PhD student, Göteborg University -- --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~peb ---
Re: Microsoft Word to Lyx
Hi, thanks to all the replies! Most of the methods described were really good and would worked with most of my documents. However, I have used this feature called autocorrect in this 100 page document which replaces characters such as ', - and many others with some characters which seem to throw errors when I do the conversion.

Bibtext for multipart documents
Hi again! I came across a thesis template which uses multipart lyx documents and then a main document that seems to include all the individual files. They have a separate file for the bibtex file. However, when I open the document from say Chapter one and do an insert reference, the bibtex database doesn't seem to be there. I tried searching the net and one of the solutions was to do an insert references on the main lyx file, switch to say chapter 1 and then do an insert reference. That seems to work for one citation. However, when I go to insert a second one, the library isnt ther again, meaning that I have to go back and repeat the process. Any hints? Thank you!!!

LyX has to know that all the chapters go together. A way to ensure that is to load the main document and typeset it. This will load all the subdocuments. If you do not want to do that, you can try to open the main document, click on the chapter 1 include inset and do Load there, and then do the same with the one which contains the bibliography. This will get LyX to recognize that the documents are related. JMarc

\oe
Hi,
Does somebody know how to write the \oe character (o and e attached) in a
french text ?
I tried to insert the TEX expression \oe and got the error message :
undefined control sequence.
Curiously, if I put a \ just after my ERT{oe}, I have no more error
message,
. but a \ that I don't want ! (as oe\uvre) !
Is there a way to create the \oe character from the clavier, for example
adding a new command in cua.bind (but I need to know the name of the \oe
character,
and LYX need to know it also) ?
I used this solution to create accents, for example, I wrote :
\bind C-apostrophe accent-acute
I tried the same for accent-grave :
\bind C-grave accent-grave
but it doesn't work ! (I got from LYX : unknown function)
but :
\bind C-backslash accent-grave works !
very curious !!
If you have any ideas ...
Thank you

Maybe you need (in ERT) \oe{} or \oe\?

Reed There's a misunderstanding there. tex2lyx is currently bundled up with the lyx cvs sources. It could probably be unbundled, but nobody has tried to do so. It does generate LyX 1.4.x format files (current version number is 236, as compared to 1.3.x's 221.) However, the lyx2lyx that is part of the 1.4.x cvs sources will convert *back* to 221 format files. lyx2lyx is a python script, so it is dead easy to package that separately. Given that 1.4.0 is month's away and also given the vast superiority of tex2lyx over reLyX, it would be a *good thing* to split things up. It might be a nice mini project for somebody.

LyX to Word -- Success
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me figure out how to go from LyX to Word. The key hint was to use htlatex to convert into OpenOffice and then export from OpenOffice to Microsoft word. Works beautifully and almost out of the box (after you spend a couple of days installing all the software, that is...)

problem with XFig figures under PDF
My LyX document contains a bunch of *.fig files. Under PS everything looks great. Under PDF (via pdflatex or dvipdfm) each figure gets its own page, and is rotated to be in landscape mode, and resized to take most of that full page. I'm using the latest LyX version that comes with Debian: 1.3.4-2 What can I do to get PDF generation to work just like the PS one? I've seen some external_templates on the Net that look different from mine and look like they may be able to handle PDF versions of fig better, but I'm not familiar with editing that file.

Math font problem in Mac-LyX 1.3.5
Hi all, I've just installed the new Mac-LyX 1.3.5, and it seems faster on my 120 page document than 1.3.4 was, so I guess the efficiency problem is partly solved (but it's still only about 1/2 as fast as LyX/Xforms).

Bibtext for multipart documents
Hi again! I came across a thesis template which uses multipart lyx documents and then a main document that seems to include all the individual files. They have a separate file for the bibtex file. However, when I open the document from say Chapter one and do an insert reference, the bibtex database doesn't seem to be there. I tried searching the net and one of the solutions was to do an insert references on the main lyx file, switch to say chapter 1 and then do an insert reference. That seems to work for one citation. However, when I go to insert a second one, the library isnt ther again, meaning that I have to go back and repeat the process. Any hints? Thank you!!!

If you do not want to do that, you can try to open the main document, click on the chapter 1 include inset and do Load there, and then do the same with the one which contains the bibliography.

\oe
Hi,
Does somebody know how to write the \oe character (o and e attached) in a
french text ?
I tried to insert the TEX expression \oe and got the error message :
undefined control sequence.
Curiously, if I put a \ just after my ERT{oe}, I have no more error
message,
. but a \ that I don't want ! (as oe\uvre) !
Is there a way to create the \oe character from the clavier, for example
adding a new command in cua.bind (but I need to know the name of the \oe
character,
and LYX need to know it also) ?
I used this solution to create accents, for example, I wrote :
\bind C-apostrophe accent-acute
I tried the same for accent-grave :
\bind C-grave accent-grave
but it doesn't work ! (I got from LYX : unknown function)
but :
\bind C-backslash accent-grave works !
very curious !!
If you have any ideas ...

Reed There's a misunderstanding there. tex2lyx is currently bundled up with the lyx cvs sources. It could probably be unbundled, but nobody has tried to do so. It does generate LyX 1.4.x format files (current version number is 236, as compared to 1.3.x's 221.) However, the lyx2lyx that is part of the 1.4.x cvs sources will convert *back* to 221 format files. lyx2lyx is a python script, so it is dead easy to package that separately. Given that 1.4.0 is month's away and also given the vast superiority of tex2lyx over reLyX, it would be a *good thing* to split things up. It might be a nice mini project for somebody.

LyX to Word -- Success
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me figure out how to go from LyX to Word. The key hint was to use htlatex to convert into OpenOffice and then export from OpenOffice to Microsoft word. Works beautifully and almost out of the box (after you spend a couple of days installing all the software, that is...) I think the solution should be definitely posted in some prominent place, in a FAQ, or in the documentation somewhere. It is one of the most pressing needs for everyone in the humanities wanting to use LyX. I'll be more than willing to contribute some documentation if any of the maintainers would be kind enough to tell me where to put it.

Now that I've finally found out how to go from LyX (LaTex) to Open office, I'd like to insert the converter in the list, but OpenOffice is not listed among the possible format options. First you should define an Open Office format (File formats pane in the Preferences dialog): Format: sxw GUI name: Open Office zipped doc Shortcut: Extension: sxw Viewer: Don't forget to press 'Modify' which adds the format definition to the local (dialog) list before pressing 'Apply' or 'Save' to either make this format available to the rest of this LyX session or to also save it to your .lyx/preferences file. -- Angus

AFAIK, tex2lyx depends on some code from lyx. Also to use tex2lyx with lyx 1.3.5 you would need the corresponding version of lyx2lyx. On the other hand this version of lyx2lyx will be available with the last version of 1.3.x when 1.4.o is released. If you followed this argument you will see a circular argument. ;-) Or are several files required for it to work? It should be too difficult to create a standalone version...

In that case, how can you save the desired page settings in a template or layout
file, so that you can use them on any document you're writing?
I've always set the page layout parameters in a *.sty file and then issued the
\usepackage command in the preamble.
