Blank page without page number

2008-07-31 Thread Waluyo Adi Siswanto
Hi All When I write a new chapter (book-KOMA script) and the end of the previous chapter exactly in an odd page, LyX automatically creates a blank page in even page with page number and heading. Is that possible to remove the page number and heading in that transition blank page. Another thing,

Math symbol displayed incorrectly on screen

Hi, I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Linux. In math mode, \cdot appears as \times should (as an 'X' shape) on the screen. The dvi output is fine -- \cdot appears as a centred dot. I have attached a sample lyx file which has this problem. Is this a known problem? What would be a workaround? Which
