Announcement: ConvTex.app
Some of you may be aware of the nice Python scripts called ConvTex which
Nick Thomas wrote to convert from LyX (via LaTeX) to OpenOffice formats.
(If not, see http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyX2OpenOffice.)
Well, I've just written a Mac front end, ConvTex.app, which is linked
from the URL above. It is easy to use. Simply open the application and
select the file to convert, or drag and drop one or more files onto the
application's icon. They will be saved to the same spot as the original
files.
Since Nick does not have a Mac, I would be grateful if some of the
people on this list who do would test it out and let me know how you get
on. Please feel free to let other people know about ConvTex.app too.
Thanks.

Maybe it only occours if you us it like me:
Create an equation, and set a mark.
Now create another equation an try to insert the reference ABOVE the =
sign.
You mean you want the second equation to have \overset{\ref{eq:a}}{=} in
place of the usual = sign (where eq:a is the label of your previous
equation)? If so, both LyX 1.4.4 and 1.5.0rc2 will let you do this.
They both display the equation incorrectly in the GUI (for me, the
cross-reference overwrites the equality sign), but the DVI displays
correctly.
Like Uwe, though, I'm not sure if this is what you mean.

Insert Float figure keyboard shortcut
What is the keyboard shortcut to insert a float figure? I am using version 1.4.4 and I get as far as alt I a and then I am stuck. This gets me to insert float but there doesn't seem to be a way to select figure from the popup menu. Any help appreciated. Bob

Or you can edit you stdmenu.inc file and add an '' before the letter you want to use as a shortcut. Abdel.

non-line-breaking equations
Hi all, Is there a way to have non-breaking equations by default? What I've done until now is trying to put the important equations in boxes so that they don't line-break, but isn't there a way to set it as a default? It gets annoying when I have x=0 display as Text here blablax = 0. More text here Help? Thanks ! Alexander Sklar University of Miami Coral Gables, FL.
