Beamer: Error with section

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi list,
i'm trying to create my first beamer presentation.

I have looked at the two examples on the lyx wiki and also into Till 
Tantau's beamerlyxexample1.lyx.


Having a document with:
- Documentclass persentation(beamer)
- Preamble: \usetheme{Warsaw}
- a title
- a section

i get a latex error:

Undefined control sequence
\lyxframeend
 {}\section{Abschnitt}


What am i doing wrong?
What is missing?

I'm totally confused ,-(

Any help appreciated (best would be obviously a simple working template ;-)


TIA

Hellmut

Could you post the source of a lyx document that contains the error to
a service like pastebin.com? That way, someone can reproduce it and
tell you what's going wrong.

Unfortunately, the Latex-Beamer stuff simply throws completely
incomprehensible error messages for the average user :(

Could it be that you define a section inside a frame? If so, try
defining it before that frame.

Re: JabRef and LyX, manually putting .bib files into MiKTeX 2.7

[Erez Yerushalmi]

Maybe this will help.

A bib file is just a certain type of format, which can be saved in notepad.
Jabref opens it up an shows it to you in an easiser way.  So,

1. In Jabref, you create bib file called mylib.bib. You can save it
anywhere. So lets say you created a folder where your current lyx project is
located. Save this bib file there.

2.Go to the place in your lyx document where you want the references to be
presented (presumably, the end). Click Insert/ Lists  TOC/ BibT E X
Bibliography. Point the LyX document to that specific file, by browsing for
the mylib.bib file.

3. Click Lyx's Layout/Document setting, choose Bibliography. Here you
specify the style of citations you want.
4. Now, suppose you are writing a document and you want to cite something.
Click LyX insert/ Citation button. A menu should open and you should
see the list of reference ,

I use also zotero to collect the citations, and export it as bibtex file.

 But, insertcitation does not show any references in my .bib, though the
 others do appear and can be inserted as citations and appear in the

 There must be, at the very least,  a way to put the .bib files in the right
 directory manually?

Correct.

Confirmed.  To fix this, you have to run the MiKTeX Settings 
application, click the Refresh FNDB button (FNDB = file name 
database), then restart LyX.  In general, dropping a file somewhere in 
MiKTeX's directory does not make MiKTeX aware of it; you have to refresh 
the file name database to let MiKTeX know it's there.  (The same is true 
for all LaTeX distributions, by the way.)  The curious thing here is 
that LyX apparently relies on MiKTeX to find the .bib file when looking 
for its contents, but not when listing it in the bibliography insertion 
dialog.  Quoting Emerson: A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of 
little minds ...


In any event, this is not the preferred way to access your own BibTeX 
files (see below).

The right directory is wherever your .bib files would normally live 
(typically but not necessarily somewhere in the vast morass of My 
Documents).  In the bibliography insertion dialog, click Add...  
Browse..., drill down to your .bib file (which can be anywhere), then 
click Add.

 My bad.

Cool beans. It works. 





I am greatly relieved to see that with minor tweaking JabRef and LyX do 
co-mingle perfectly in windows. From looking at past posts, I started to think 
I had to migrate my dissertation to linux (not really an option at my 
department) for them to work together fully. 





Thanks!

Just to be clear(er), though, I really do advocate keeping your .bib 
files with your documents, research, etc. and not migrating them to 
MiKTeX directories.  There's no advantage to copying them over to the 
MiKTeX directories, and one disadvantage:  if you update your MiKTeX 
distribution (there will probably be a 2.8 one of these days, and 
presumably a 3.0 at some point), you're liable to lose those copies, and 
your docs will be broken until you recopy the .bib files.

Paul

I guess you haven't loaded your BibTeX file in your LyX document. How this is done is explained in 
LyX's User's Guide that you find in LyX's Help menu. If you still have problems, look for example at 
the file achemso.lyx that you find in LyX's examples folder to see how there the BibTeX file 
biblioExample.bib is loaded.

Trouble starting LyX under MS XP/cygwin

[Eben Oldmixon]

I use cygwin on a machine running MS XP.  I have updated my cygwin installation 
to include lyx and X-windows dependencies.  I've found the Cygwin-X label under 
the 'START' Menu and clicked the XWin Server button.  Nothing obvious happens, 
and lyx does not want to start; that is:

%which lyx
/usr/bin/lyx
%lyx
lyx: cannot connect to X server

What should I do?  Thanks in advance for help and insight.

   End
  
  This sets up the Counter for LyX only, you need to set up a LaTex
  counter as well.
 
 Ah! That explains a lot. 
 

So, I need to code this for TWO systems: (1) LyX (shown on the screen, with all 
its handy tools); and (2) LaTeX (printed out correctly)!

I have not been able to get the two to happen at the same time. I can get the 
correct solution with the following:

## LyX counter, in correct format:
Counter experimentCounter
LabelString  \Roman{experimentCounter}
Within
End

## LaTeX counter, in correct format:
AddToPreamble
\newcounter{experiment}
\setcounter{experiment}{0}

\renewcommand{\theexperiment}{\textit{\Roman{experiment}}}
EndPreamble

## An LyX style, that just allows me to set a named label for the following 
Experiment heading:
Style ExperimentLabel
CategorySection
LatexType   Command
LatexName   exptLabel
KeepEmpty   1
LabelType   Counter
LeftMargin  XLabel_for_experiment_XXX:XX
LabelString Label for experiment \theexperimentCounter: 
LabelCounterexperimentCounter
OptionalArgs1
TopSep  1.4
Font
Shape   Italic
Color   red
SizeLarge
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand{\exptLabel}[1]{%
\refstepcounter{experiment} #1}
EndPreamble
End

## A new section style, for the correct printing of the experiment title that 
also looks nice on the screen:
Style Experiment
CopyStyle Section
LatexName experimentSection
LabelType Counter
LabelString   \thesection  Experiment \theexperimentCounter.
LabelCounter  section
OptionalArgs  1
Font
Shape   Italic
SizeLarge
EndFont
Preamble
  \newcommand{\experimentSection}[1]{%
\section{\textit{Experiment \theexperiment. #1}}}
EndPreamble
End


===

It took me a long time to find the \refstepcounter{} latex command. It's the 
only way that I've managed to change the label reference environment so that 
the \label{exp:expt-name} takes the experiment counter value and not the 
section counter value.

I don't mind that LyX doesn't show the experiment counter value on the screen, 
but I do need to be able to use labels referring to the experiment counter. I 
tried writing this latex command, but it doesn't work. Anyone know how to write 
this function correctly?

  \newcommand{\experimentSection}[1]{%
\section{\textit{Experiment \theexperiment. 
{\refstepcounter{experiment} #1

Thanks.

The X server is probably not running or you forgot to set the DISPLAY

 What should I do?  Thanks in advance for help and insight.

Try whether setting DISPLAY helps.
% DISPLAY=localhost:0  = if you use the bash shell
% setenv DISPLAY localhost:0   = if you use the tcsh shell
and then launch lyx again.

However, it seems that you are using the official cygwin lyx package,
which is quite old (version 1.4.5). You could try the latest version here:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.2/lyx-1.6.2-cygwin.tar.gz
This version doesn't need a X server. Un-tar the archive (using the
cygwin tar) and then follows the instructions for installing it.

It is not clear what do you mean. I guest it is related to bibliographic style

Error Explanation Help Needed

[Rich Shepard]

  I wanted to make some corrections and changes to my beamer presentation
while I was away from the office. However, I get an error regarding the logo
graphic which is different from what came up before, and I am having a lot
of difficulty identifying the source.

  The file is exported from lyx-1.6.2 using the LaTeX (pdflatex) option.
When I run pdflatex on the .tex file the error occurs. The error is on line
869 of the attached log file. It's interesting that I'm running the same
versions of Slackware, LyX, and pgf on both machines, yet cannot
successfullly view or compile the presentation on the portable.

  It tells me that there is an undefined control sequence, .75pgfex,
associated with the \includegraphics command for aesi-logo.pdf. However, the
command does not have any such string in it.

  Where do I look for the source of this error?

TIA,

Rich

Error Explanation Help Needed -- SOLVED

[Rich Shepard]

  I wanted to make some corrections and changes to my beamer presentation
while I was away from the office. However, I get an error regarding the
logo graphic which is different from what came up before, and I am having
a lot of difficulty identifying the source.


  Sigh. As is too often the case, after sending the message it occurred to
me to see if I have the latest beamer version installed on the notebook. I
did not.

  Installing latex-beamer-3.07 fixed the problem.

My apologies for the static,

Rich

What exactly does your supervisor wants? I guess he has either a norm or a certain journal in mind. 
Do you know this?


Knowing this is important, since the order can easily be changed but it only makes sense if also the 
format is correct, e.g. should the author names be bold or italic or normal, should there be a colon 
or a semi-colon behind the last author etc.


But as you are writing an article, this is for a journal, right? Then you are forced to follow the 
journal's guideline. Many journals provide a BibTeX style file, if not, they at least provide a 
template. What's your journal?

I'm Having the same need here, I found out about this application:
http://bib-it.sourceforge.net
Apparently it helps you building Bibliograpy Styles, the application is 
a little bit confuse for me,

Do you know another application that could help us to build the Styles?

For the database I'm using JABREF.

Beamer: Error with section

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi list,
i'm trying to create my first beamer presentation.

I have looked at the two examples on the lyx wiki and also into Till 
Tantau's beamerlyxexample1.lyx.


Having a document with:
- Documentclass persentation(beamer)
- Preamble: \usetheme{Warsaw}
- a title
- a section

i get a latex error:

Undefined control sequence
\lyxframeend
 {}\section{Abschnitt}


What am i doing wrong?
What is missing?

I'm totally confused ,-(

Any help appreciated (best would be obviously a simple working template ;-)


TIA

Could you post the source of a lyx document that contains the error to
a service like pastebin.com? That way, someone can reproduce it and
tell you what's going wrong.

Unfortunately, the Latex-Beamer stuff simply throws completely
incomprehensible error messages for the average user :(

Could it be that you define a section inside a frame? If so, try
defining it before that frame.

Re: JabRef and LyX, manually putting .bib files into MiKTeX 2.7

[Erez Yerushalmi]

Maybe this will help.

A bib file is just a certain type of format, which can be saved in notepad.
Jabref opens it up an shows it to you in an easiser way.  So,

1. In Jabref, you create bib file called mylib.bib. You can save it
anywhere. So lets say you created a folder where your current lyx project is
located. Save this bib file there.

2.Go to the place in your lyx document where you want the references to be
presented (presumably, the end). Click Insert/ Lists  TOC/ BibT E X
Bibliography. Point the LyX document to that specific file, by browsing for
the mylib.bib file.

3. Click Lyx's Layout/Document setting, choose Bibliography. Here you
specify the style of citations you want.
4. Now, suppose you are writing a document and you want to cite something.
Click LyX insert/ Citation button. A menu should open and you should
see the list of reference ,

I use also zotero to collect the citations, and export it as bibtex file.

Confirmed.  To fix this, you have to run the MiKTeX Settings 
application, click the Refresh FNDB button (FNDB = file name 
database), then restart LyX.  In general, dropping a file somewhere in 
MiKTeX's directory does not make MiKTeX aware of it; you have to refresh 
the file name database to let MiKTeX know it's there.  (The same is true 
for all LaTeX distributions, by the way.)  The curious thing here is 
that LyX apparently relies on MiKTeX to find the .bib file when looking 
for its contents, but not when listing it in the bibliography insertion 
dialog.  Quoting Emerson: A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of 
little minds ...


In any event, this is not the preferred way to access your own BibTeX 
files (see below).

The right directory is wherever your .bib files would normally live 
(typically but not necessarily somewhere in the vast morass of My 
Documents).  In the bibliography insertion dialog, click Add...  
Browse..., drill down to your .bib file (which can be anywhere), then

I am greatly relieved to see that with minor tweaking JabRef and LyX do

Just to be clear(er), though, I really do advocate keeping your .bib 
files with your documents, research, etc. and not migrating them to 
MiKTeX directories.  There's no advantage to copying them over to the 
MiKTeX directories, and one disadvantage:  if you update your MiKTeX 
distribution (there will probably be a 2.8 one of these days, and 
presumably a 3.0 at some point), you're liable to lose those copies, and 
your docs will be broken until you recopy the .bib files.

Paul

I guess you haven't loaded your BibTeX file in your LyX document. How this is done is explained in

the file achemso.lyx that you find in LyX's examples folder to see how there the BibTeX file

Trouble starting LyX under MS XP/cygwin

[Eben Oldmixon]

I use cygwin on a machine running MS XP.  I have updated my cygwin installation 
to include lyx and X-windows dependencies.  I've found the Cygwin-X label under 
the 'START' Menu and clicked the XWin Server button.  Nothing obvious happens, 
and lyx does not want to start; that is:

%which lyx
/usr/bin/lyx
%lyx
lyx: cannot connect to X server

What should I do?  Thanks in advance for help and insight.

  This sets up the Counter for LyX only, you need to set up a LaTex

 Ah! That explains a lot. 
 

So, I need to code this for TWO systems: (1) LyX (shown on the screen, with all 
its handy tools); and (2) LaTeX (printed out correctly)!

I have not been able to get the two to happen at the same time. I can get the 
correct solution with the following:

## LyX counter, in correct format:
Counter experimentCounter
LabelString  \Roman{experimentCounter}
Within
End

## LaTeX counter, in correct format:
AddToPreamble
\newcounter{experiment}
\setcounter{experiment}{0}

\renewcommand{\theexperiment}{\textit{\Roman{experiment}}}
EndPreamble

## An LyX style, that just allows me to set a named label for the following 
Experiment heading:
Style ExperimentLabel
CategorySection
LatexType   Command
LatexName   exptLabel
KeepEmpty   1
LabelType   Counter
LeftMargin  XLabel_for_experiment_XXX:XX
LabelString Label for experiment \theexperimentCounter:

EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand{\exptLabel}[1]{%

EndPreamble
End

## A new section style, for the correct printing of the experiment title that 
also looks nice on the screen:
Style Experiment
CopyStyle Section
LatexName experimentSection
LabelType Counter
LabelString   \thesection  Experiment \theexperimentCounter.
LabelCounter  section
OptionalArgs  1
Font
Shape   Italic
SizeLarge
EndFont
Preamble
  \newcommand{\experimentSection}[1]{%
\section{\textit{Experiment \theexperiment. #1}}}
EndPreamble
End


===

It took me a long time to find the \refstepcounter{} latex command. It's the 
only way that I've managed to change the label reference environment so that 
the \label{exp:expt-name} takes the experiment counter value and not the 
section counter value.

I don't mind that LyX doesn't show the experiment counter value on the screen, 
but I do need to be able to use labels referring to the experiment counter. I 
tried writing this latex command, but it doesn't work. Anyone know how to write 
this function correctly?

  \newcommand{\experimentSection}[1]{%
\section{\textit{Experiment \theexperiment. 
{\refstepcounter{experiment} #1

The X server is probably not running or you forgot to set the DISPLAY

 What should I do?  Thanks in advance for help and insight.

Try whether setting DISPLAY helps.
% DISPLAY=localhost:0  = if you use the bash shell
% setenv DISPLAY localhost:0   = if you use the tcsh shell
and then launch lyx again.

However, it seems that you are using the official cygwin lyx package,
which is quite old (version 1.4.5). You could try the latest version here:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.2/lyx-1.6.2-cygwin.tar.gz
This version doesn't need a X server. Un-tar the archive (using the
cygwin tar) and then follows the instructions for installing it.

 bibliography like: author, journal, year, volume, pages. I
 use jabref 2.4 and bibtex.

It is not clear what do you mean. I guest it is related to bibliographic style 
(*.bst). Some years ago I have seen bibliographic style like you have writen 
above, i.e., without title. Try to find Nature or American Journal of Science 
related bst. Or you can make a clone of natbib using merlin.mbs.

Regards,
Wayan

Error Explanation Help Needed

[Rich Shepard]

  I wanted to make some corrections and changes to my beamer presentation
while I was away from the office. However, I get an error regarding the logo
graphic which is different from what came up before, and I am having a lot
of difficulty identifying the source.

  The file is exported from lyx-1.6.2 using the LaTeX (pdflatex) option.
When I run pdflatex on the .tex file the error occurs. The error is on line
869 of the attached log file. It's interesting that I'm running the same
versions of Slackware, LyX, and pgf on both machines, yet cannot
successfullly view or compile the presentation on the portable.

  It tells me that there is an undefined control sequence, .75pgfex,
associated with the \includegraphics command for aesi-logo.pdf. However, the
command does not have any such string in it.

  Where do I look for the source of this error?

TIA,

Rich

  Sigh. As is too often the case, after sending the message it occurred to
me to see if I have the latest beamer version installed on the notebook. I
did not.

  Installing latex-beamer-3.07 fixed the problem.

My apologies for the static,

Beamer: Error with section

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi list,
i'm trying to create my first beamer presentation.

I have looked at the two examples on the lyx wiki and also into Till 
Tantau's beamerlyxexample1.lyx.


Having a document with:
- Documentclass persentation(beamer)
- Preamble: \usetheme{Warsaw}
- a title
- a section

i get a latex error:

Undefined control sequence
\lyxframeend
 {}\section{Abschnitt}


What am i doing wrong?
What is missing?

I'm totally confused ,-(

Any help appreciated (best would be obviously a simple working template ;-)


TIA

Could you post the source of a lyx document that contains the error to
a service like pastebin.com? That way, someone can reproduce it and
tell you what's going wrong.

Unfortunately, the Latex-Beamer stuff simply throws completely
incomprehensible error messages for the average user :(

Could it be that you define a section inside a "frame"? If so, try
defining it before that frame.

Re: JabRef and LyX, manually putting .bib files into MiKTeX 2.7

[Erez Yerushalmi]

Maybe this will help.

A bib file is just a certain type of format, which can be saved in notepad.
Jabref opens it up an shows it to you in an easiser way.  So,

1. In Jabref, you create bib file called mylib.bib. You can save it
anywhere. So lets say you created a folder where your current lyx project is
located. Save this bib file there.

2.Go to the place in your lyx document where you want the references to be
presented (presumably, the end). Click Insert/ Lists & TOC/ BibT E X
Bibliography. Point the LyX document to that specific file, by browsing for
the mylib.bib file.

3. Click Lyx's Layout/Document setting, choose Bibliography. Here you
specify the style of citations you want.
4. Now, suppose you are writing a document and you want to cite something.
Click LyX insert/ Citation button. A menu should open and you should
see the list of reference ,

I use also zotero to collect the citations, and export it as bibtex file.

Correct.


Here's the strange thing (coming from a beginner's perspective), I
can create a bibliography because there are .bib files already in the
appropriate MiKTeX 2.7 folder that appears to be supplying Lyx with
its database. I can also manually put my JabRef .bib into that same
subdirectory (C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\bibtex\bib\bibtopic) and it
appears in the dialogue box along with the others (examples that
installed with Lyx).


Technically, they installed with MiKTeX; LyX is not 
responsible for them.


But, insert>citation does not show any references in my .bib, though
the others do appear and can be inserted as citations and appear in
the references at the end of the doc.


Confirmed.  To fix this, you have to run the MiKTeX Settings 
application, click the "Refresh FNDB" button (FNDB = file name 
database), then restart LyX.  In general, dropping a file somewhere in 
MiKTeX's directory does not make MiKTeX aware of it; you have to refresh 
the file name database to let MiKTeX know it's there.  (The same is true 
for all LaTeX distributions, by the way.)  The curious thing here is 
that LyX apparently relies on MiKTeX to find the .bib file when looking 
for its contents, but not when listing it in the bibliography insertion 
dialog.  Quoting Emerson: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of 
little minds ..."


In any event, this is not the preferred way to access your own BibTeX 
files (see below).


There must be, at the very least,  a way to put the .bib files in the
right directory manually?


The "right directory" is wherever your .bib files would normally live 
(typically but not necessarily somewhere in the vast morass of My 
Documents).  In the bibliography insertion dialog, click Add... > 
Browse..., drill down to your .bib file (which can be anywhere), then 
click Add.

 My bad.





"To fix this, you have to run the MiKTeX Settings

Cool beans. It works. 





I am greatly relieved to see that with minor tweaking JabRef and LyX do 
co-mingle perfectly in windows. From looking at past posts, I started to think 
I had to migrate my dissertation to linux (not really an option at my 
department) for them to work together fully. 





Thanks!

Just to be clear(er), though, I really do advocate keeping your .bib 
files with your documents, research, etc. and not migrating them to 
MiKTeX directories.  There's no advantage to copying them over to the 
MiKTeX directories, and one disadvantage:  if you update your MiKTeX 
distribution (there will probably be a 2.8 one of these days, and 
presumably a 3.0 at some point), you're liable to lose those copies, and 
your docs will be broken until you recopy the .bib files.

Paul

LyX just takes this folder as default folder to look for BibTeX files, but you can store your BibTeX 
file wherever you want.

I recommend not to do this, to keep your MiKTeX installation unchanged and to 
avoid possible problems.


But, insert>citation does not show any references in my .bib, though the others 
do appear and can be inserted as citations and appear in the references at the end

I guess you haven't loaded your BibTeX file in your LyX document. How this is done is explained in 
LyX's User's Guide that you find in LyX's Help menu. If you still have problems, look for example at 
the file "achemso.lyx" that you find in LyX's examples folder to see how there the BibTeX file 
"biblioExample.bib" is loaded.

Trouble starting LyX under MS XP/cygwin

[Eben Oldmixon]

I use cygwin on a machine running MS XP.  I have updated my cygwin installation 
to include lyx and X-windows dependencies.  I've found the Cygwin-X label under 
the 'START' Menu and clicked the XWin Server button.  Nothing obvious happens, 
and lyx does not want to start; that is:

%which lyx
/usr/bin/lyx
%lyx
lyx: cannot connect to X server

What should I do?  Thanks in advance for help and insight.

So, I need to code this for TWO systems: (1) LyX (shown on the screen, with all 
its handy tools); and (2) LaTeX (printed out correctly)!

I have not been able to get the two to happen at the same time. I can get the 
correct solution with the following:

## LyX counter, in correct format:
Counter experimentCounter
LabelString  "\Roman{experimentCounter}"
Within   "" 
End

## LaTeX counter, in correct format:
AddToPreamble
\newcounter{experiment}
\setcounter{experiment}{0}

\renewcommand{\theexperiment}{\textit{\Roman{experiment}}}
EndPreamble

## An LyX style, that just allows me to set a named label for the following 
Experiment heading:
Style ExperimentLabel
CategorySection
LatexType   Command
LatexName   exptLabel
KeepEmpty   1
LabelType   Counter
LeftMargin  XLabel_for_experiment_XXX:XX
LabelString "Label for experiment \theexperimentCounter: "
LabelCounterexperimentCounter
OptionalArgs1
TopSep  1.4
Font
Shape   Italic
Color   red
SizeLarge
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand{\exptLabel}[1]{%
\refstepcounter{experiment} #1}
EndPreamble
End

## A new section style, for the correct printing of the experiment title that 
also looks nice on the screen:
Style Experiment
CopyStyle Section
LatexName experimentSection
LabelType Counter
LabelString   "\thesection  Experiment \theexperimentCounter."
LabelCounter  section
OptionalArgs  1
Font
Shape   Italic
SizeLarge
EndFont
Preamble
  \newcommand{\experimentSection}[1]{%
\section{\textit{Experiment \theexperiment. #1}}}
EndPreamble
End


===

It took me a long time to find the \refstepcounter{} latex command. It's the 
only way that I've managed to change the label reference environment so that 
the \label{exp:expt-name} takes the experiment counter value and not the 
section counter value.

I don't mind that LyX doesn't show the experiment counter value on the screen, 
but I do need to be able to use labels referring to the experiment counter. I 
tried writing this latex command, but it doesn't work. Anyone know how to write 
this function correctly?

  \newcommand{\experimentSection}[1]{%
\section{\textit{Experiment \theexperiment. 
{\refstepcounter{experiment} #1

Thanks.

Mateo.

Here is a version that works:

(there's a 'download' link)

I did two things:

a) Add an empty slide (so that the error goes away)

b) Changed the document class from article(beamer) to
presentation(beamer) so that it looks like a presentation

HTH,

The X server is probably not running or you forgot to set the DISPLAY
environment variable.

Try whether setting DISPLAY helps.
% DISPLAY=localhost:0  <= if you use the bash shell
% setenv DISPLAY localhost:0   <= if you use the tcsh shell
and then launch lyx again.

However, it seems that you are using the official cygwin lyx package,
which is quite old (version 1.4.5). You could try the latest version here:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.2/lyx-1.6.2-cygwin.tar.gz
This version doesn't need a X server. Un-tar the archive (using the
cygwin tar) and then follows the instructions for installing it.

Thanks.  (Having trouble figuring out how the site wants
 me to reply to your message.
Hope this is OK.)  Setting DISPLAY didn't help; yes, bash.
  I'll try the newer version, 
but it may take me a day or so to get back to you.

It is not clear what do you mean. I guest it is related to bibliographic style 
(*.bst). Some years ago I have seen bibliographic style like you have writen 
above, i.e., without title. Try to find Nature or American Journal of Science 
related bst. Or you can make a clone of natbib using merlin.mbs.

Error Explanation Help Needed

[Rich Shepard]

  I wanted to make some corrections and changes to my beamer presentation
while I was away from the office. However, I get an error regarding the logo
graphic which is different from what came up before, and I am having a lot
of difficulty identifying the source.

  The file is exported from lyx-1.6.2 using the LaTeX (pdflatex) option.
When I run pdflatex on the .tex file the error occurs. The error is on line
869 of the attached log file. It's interesting that I'm running the same
versions of Slackware, LyX, and pgf on both machines, yet cannot
successfullly view or compile the presentation on the portable.

  It tells me that there is an undefined control sequence, .75pgfex,
associated with the \includegraphics command for aesi-logo.pdf. However, the
command does not have any such string in it.

  Where do I look for the source of this error?

TIA,

Rich

  Sigh. As is too often the case, after sending the message it occurred to
me to see if I have the latest beamer version installed on the notebook. I
did not.

  Installing latex-beamer-3.07 fixed the problem.

My apologies for the static,

Rich

What exactly does your supervisor wants? I guess he has either a norm or a certain journal in mind. 
Do you know this?


Knowing this is important, since the order can easily be changed but it only makes sense if also the 
format is correct, e.g. should the author names be bold or italic or normal, should there be a colon 
or a semi-colon behind the last author etc.


But as you are writing an article, this is for a journal, right? Then you are forced to follow the 
journal's guideline. Many journals provide a BibTeX style file, if not, they at least provide a 
template. What's your journal?

I'm Having the same need here, I found out about this application:
http://bib-it.sourceforge.net
Apparently it helps you building Bibliograpy Styles, the application is 
a little bit confuse for me,

Do you know another application that could help us to build the Styles?

For the database I'm using JABREF.

Thanks.
