Yes, that is a possibility, but it only works for one paragraph at a

You can easily copy and paste the Vertical Space, which should be
nearly as simply as marking several paragraphs (and simpler if you want
to apply the spacing to several non-consecutive paragraphs).

 So I was hoping for a better solution, preferrably the solution that
 used to exist in the paragraph layout dialog.

One possibility would be to define a new Layout style that includes a
leading space. Then you could mark and change a number of paragraphs

problem with pdfpages

Hello

I have the TeX-Live package installed in my computer. If I understand

Now, when I try to view the document as dvi, I get the error message:

When I try to produce a pdf output, I get the error message:

I think you might have to move the .pdf file which you
would like to include into the temporary directory
where LyX compiles the document. 

I usually make the temp directory ( you can change it

User's Guide doesn't work

2008-02-01 Thread Tom
Hi,
I am trying to view the user's guide in version 1.5.3 on windows.  When I try 
to view it using any method (dvi, pdf, ps) it says: 
LaTeX Error: File `floatflt.sty' not found.

Showing more details for that error it says:
 \usepackage
{varioref}
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

I tried installing that package using MiKTeX 2.7 package browser, but this 
package is not there.  So I found it on CTAN and followed the directions for 
unpacking the floatflt.sty file.  I copied the floatflt.sty file into a 
directory at C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.7/tex/latex/floatflt/floatflt.sty

Then I reloaded LyX and verified that it could find that style by going to the 
menu Tools-TeX Information and showing the Latex Styles from the dropdown.  
Yep, LyX sees the new style file.  But I still get the same error.

I also ran Reconfigure (and restarted lyx) which seemed to download a bunch of 
packages, but didn't help.

Any suggestions?  This has taken me all day :).

Maybe a better question is why does the User Guide use this package when 
MiKTeX has a much newer package called float?
THanks for any help,

Two formatting issues with koma-script book

2008-02-01 Thread David Hewitt

I'm using koma-script for a book and need help with two issues I can't figure
out.

It's a 2-sided document with headings Page Style.

(1) The first problem is that the headings for sections/high-level
environments that start on odd-numbered pages show up on empty even-numbered
pages that follow. I'd like them not to appear on those empty pages, and if
possible to appear on the odd-numbered page where the section begins. For
example, if I put in a Table of Contents labeled Contents and it all fits
on one page, the heading Contents appears on the next page and nothing
appears in the header on the TOC page.

(2) The second problem I'm having is that the Figures in chapters don't
number like the equations. The equations happily begin with the Chapter
number plus .[equation_number], but the Figures in each chapter are just
numbered 1, 2, 3, ... Can I make the Figure numbers the same as the equation
numbering? For completeness, I have the following in my Preamble now to get
integer chapter and Figure numbering (but I'm not sure this is right):

\setcounter{chapter}{1}

\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@figure}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@table}
\makeatother

problem with pdfpages

2008-02-01 Thread Eran Kaplinsky
I don't know if this is the source of your problem, but I always omit 
the .pdf extension. So:


\includepdf[pages=1-11]{filename}

I think you might have to move the .pdf file which you
would like to include into the temporary directory
where LyX compiles the document. 

I usually make the temp directory ( you can change it
in the preferences) someplace close to where the
actual document is.Copy and PAste the .pdf's you
want to include into the temp directory.   Then you
should be able to produce output.

User's Guide doesn't work

2008-02-01 Thread Tom
Hi,
I am trying to view the user's guide in version 1.5.3 on windows.  When I try 
to view it using any method (dvi, pdf, ps) it says: 
LaTeX Error: File `floatflt.sty' not found.

Showing more details for that error it says:
 \usepackage
{varioref}
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

I tried installing that package using MiKTeX 2.7 package browser, but this 
package is not there.  So I found it on CTAN and followed the directions for 
unpacking the floatflt.sty file.  I copied the floatflt.sty file into a 
directory at C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.7/tex/latex/floatflt/floatflt.sty

Then I reloaded LyX and verified that it could find that style by going to the 
menu Tools->TeX Information and showing the "Latex Styles" from the dropdown.  
Yep, LyX sees the new style file.  But I still get the same error.

I also ran Reconfigure (and restarted lyx) which seemed to download a bunch of 
packages, but didn't help.

Any suggestions?  This has taken me all day :).

Maybe a better question is why does the User Guide use this package when 
MiKTeX has a much newer package called float?
THanks for any help,
-Tom

yes, it is found (~/texmf/tex/latex/phonetic.sty)

no errors ...

I've installed lots of style files and they work fine - don't have a clue
what's wrong here


all the best, Bill S.

There was a bug in MiKTeX that no package could be installed. This should now 
be fixed.
To get LyX working, open an internet connection and the reconfigure LyX (menu Tools -> Reconfigure). 
Then the missing LateX-packages will be installed (so reconfiguring LyX could in this case need some 
time).

OK - this is *not* a lyx problem.  A plain tex document
(made with kile albeit) show the same errors when
I try to use phonetic package and insert riota (or
any other phonetic character).

Of course, this is not much comfort ...

Two formatting issues with koma-script book

2008-02-01 Thread David Hewitt

I'm using koma-script for a book and need help with two issues I can't figure
out.

It's a 2-sided document with "headings" Page Style.

(1) The first problem is that the headings for sections/"high-level"
environments that start on odd-numbered pages show up on empty even-numbered
pages that follow. I'd like them not to appear on those empty pages, and if
possible to appear on the odd-numbered page where the section begins. For
example, if I put in a Table of Contents labeled "Contents" and it all fits
on one page, the heading "Contents" appears on the next page and nothing
appears in the header on the TOC page.

(2) The second problem I'm having is that the Figures in chapters don't
number like the equations. The equations happily begin with the Chapter
number plus ".[equation_number]", but the Figures in each chapter are just
numbered 1, 2, 3, ... Can I make the Figure numbers the same as the equation
numbering? For completeness, I have the following in my Preamble now to get
integer chapter and Figure numbering (but I'm not sure this is right):

\setcounter{chapter}{1}

\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@figure}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@table}
\makeatother
