In Ubuntu GNU/Linux (Gnome Desktop) the degree symbol insert directly by
1. the binding AltGr-S-^-^ (ALtGr Shift and two ^)
2. If the Compose key is OK, with the binding Compose-o-o

You are mixing two ways of producing a bibliography. If you are using a BibTeX 
bibliography (which you apparently do, judging from your screenshots), then 
do not use bibliography paragraph style from the drop down menu. BibTeX is 
formatting the bibliography for you, including the heading.

The two boxes you are talking about are the citation references and the 
bibliography. You need both (please refer to the LyX documentation for 
details).

 How do i remove the first line after the bibliography.?

If you don't want references, but only the bibliography, the use 
\nocite{somecitekey} or \nocite* (the latter prints out the whole database).

LyX crashing when inserting graphics

2007-03-11 Thread Stefano Franchi

All of a sudden, my 1.4.3 LyX/MacOs  installation has become unable to 
insert graphics into a document. Every time I  try Lyx crashes. The 
console

shows the same line all the times:

Error locating symbol - dlcompat: Symbol _JVTDecoOpen not found

I have tried different graphic files and different file formats and it 
doesn't make any difference---they all crash LyX. Interestingly, 
documents containing images are no problem: they open correctly. 
However, if I try to reimport the  image(s) in a new file, LyX crashes. 
I can only get as far as the file dialog: as soon as I select the 
graphic file I have a crash. The only difference is that sometime I get 
a spinning ball, sometimes the crash is instantaneous.


Any suggestion greatly welcome.


Cheers,

Stefano

I believe I may have stumbled upon the solution.  

I used to have my desktop shortcut for LyX using the
target  C:\LyxFiles\lyx\bin\lyx.exe -userdir
C:\lyxuserdir

so I figured I would just use the same userdir for the
LyX 1.4.X version.Apparently this was a bad idea
and resulted in the messed up punctuation. I
removed the userdir and copied my .layouts over to the

Footer in a colored box -- here's how

2007-03-11 Thread Steve Litt

Hi all,

I wanted the footers in my book to look just like those in the other ebooks, 
complete with a colored box footer. The MAGIC NUMBER is designed so that no 
matter how one sets the top and bottom margins, or the header or footer 
separations, the footer still ends up in the same place. Here's how:

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{rust}{rgb}{0.7,0.2,0.2}
\definecolor{lightgray}{rgb}{0.8,0.8,0.8}

\newcommand{\myfootertext}{This is my book}

\newlength{\boxdrop}
\setlength{\boxdrop}{11in} % PAPER LENGTH
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-1.7in}  % MAGIC NUMBER
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\headsep}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\headheight}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\topmargin}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\textheight}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\footskip}

\newcommand{\myfooter}{%
\fancyfoot[CE,CO]{
~\\[\boxdrop]\fcolorbox{black}{rust}{
\parbox[c][.6in][t]{\textwidth}{
~\\[-0.3in]
\center
\footnotesize
\sffamily
\bfseries
\textcolor{lightgray}{\myfootertext}
}
}
}
}


Then, you can invoke this just by putting this command in your LyX document 
preamble:

complete with a colored box footer. The "MAGIC NUMBER" is designed so that no 
matter how one sets the top and bottom margins, or the header or footer 
separations, the footer still ends up in the same place. Here's how:

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{rust}{rgb}{0.7,0.2,0.2}
\definecolor{lightgray}{rgb}{0.8,0.8,0.8}

\newcommand{\myfootertext}{This is my book}

\newlength{\boxdrop}
\setlength{\boxdrop}{11in} % PAPER LENGTH
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-1.7in}  % MAGIC NUMBER
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\headsep}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\headheight}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\topmargin}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\textheight}
\addtolength{\boxdrop}{-\footskip}

\newcommand{\myfooter}{%
\fancyfoot[CE,CO]{
~\\[\boxdrop]\fcolorbox{black}{rust}{
\parbox[c][.6in][t]{\textwidth}{
~\\[-0.3in]
\center
\footnotesize
\sffamily
\bfseries
\textcolor{lightgray}{\myfootertext}
}
}
}
}


Then, you can invoke this just by putting this command in your LyX document 
preamble:

\myfooter

How about a quick post card to Norway? I'm sure people are always
delighted to receive a card in the post. Address see attachment.

Royal Mail from the UK two days... I'll raise postage on list approval.
