Remove table of contents''s name in the last empty page
Hi, I have a big Latex/LyX document with a table of contents. I used fancyhdr so now in every page it appers, the chapter's name of the section's number. But in the case of the table of contents it appears Index. This is ok for me. The only problem is that after the last page of the TOC there is an empty page with the Index label. As I do not like this at all, I wonder if do you know how to remove the label from this last page or simply, how to remove this last blank page. Thanks in advance.
Re: Problems with Bibtex in Lyx
This is slightly off-topic (but I am still working on the same paper..), can someone please tell me, if there is an easy way to change the language of my document from within lyx? I have lyx running on WinXP, my Lyx Environment is set to German and thus all my documents are German by default (which is usually what I want) but now I am writing this homework in English (article koma-script) and in the document options I found no language settings, also in the Koma-script documentation I found nothing. I know one way how to work this problem out: I have to start Lyx in English by changing the language Variable in the lyx.bat file. But this is somewhat of a hassle. So my question, is there some way to do it within the GUI that I have just overlooked? Thanks a lot so far Stefan

Re: classic American letter with a subject line
Erin, You could try this: Begin with the standard letter template, insert the cursor at the opening, just before Dear, write your subject line, do two soft returns (cmd-return on a Mac). This will yield a flush left rather than _centered_ subject line, but making the subject line boldface might help to make its function more clear. The other parts of the letter -- paper size, margins, the sender's address -- will conform more nearly to American conventions with very little fuss.

convert grace - pdf (not png)?

Re: Remove table of contents''s name in the last empty page
I'm guessing the empty page is due to the first chapter's starting on an odd page, so that LaTeX needs to insert a page to get to an odd page. I'd suggest redefining your page style for the TOC. You've presumably already done that once---defined \lhead and the rest. Just define these right before the TOC, however you want them for the TOC, and then redefine them for the main matter.

copy and paste does not work well
hi there, i am using kubuntu dapper drake with lyx 1.4.2 my problem is: i can copy and paste in lyx documents - but when i select something in another application (firefox, thunderbird, kate, openoffice, etc.) and want to paste these words in my lyx document - it does not work. the other way round (from lyx copy - paste to another programm) the same. copy and paste only works in the lyx-documents - but not text from any place else can be copied. am i the only one with this problem or is it well known?? is there a way to do it?

1.4.3 user interface file
Sorry to feel that the user interface file with windefault was far more user friendly than the current one (default). I tried the other one's with no upgrade. I tried to use wintoolbars.ui without success getting an error requiring to check the configuration. Is there a way to use windefault.ui from LyX 1.4.1 into 1.4.3 there is some controls like Bf, dvi, pdf-latex which are quite agreable and efficient. Also the buttons spread over two lines are quickly accessible in regards of one line in 1.4.3. Thanks Paul
