lyx file compatibility

[Arithy]

Hello lyx experts,
I created a document using lyx1.6.7  in windows7. Will this lyx file open up
properly in unbuntu system? Or is there any setup for windows to ubuntu
compatibility of lyx files?

 Put the .sty file in ~/texmf/tex/latex/beamer (create the directory if

 command to the preamble of your LyX presentation and you should be good to go.

MacTeX/XeTeX pdf setting problems

[Maria Gouskova]

Dear LyX users,

I just upgraded MacTeX to the newest version (2011), and now I am
having some problems making pdf documents. First of all, if I use
XeTeX and non-TeX fonts, I get the following error on trying to view
the PDF:

LaTeX Error: Command \B already defined.
LaTeX Error: Command \T already defined.


\newcommand{\B}[2][0]{\Bk{#1}{0}{#2}}

Your command was ignored.
Type  I command return  to replace it with another command,
or  return  to continue without it.

Turning XeTeX off resolves this in a short test file, but I am also
unable to compile a longer document that has a bit more complicated
stuff in it at all--LyX basically freezes. Anyone else having problems
with new MacTeX? All of my LaTeX purist colleagues seem to be doing
okay, so I wonder if this is LyX-specific...

If you haven't already done so, you might try switching back to MacTeX
2011 and using TeX LIve Utility.app to update it to the most recent
version.

Caption location in subfig

[Daniel Joshua Stark]

Dear all,

I am trying to place the caption for a subfigure to the top of the subfigure 
with left justification while keeping the subfigure centered.  I can get the 
caption to the top of the subfigure with \captionsetup[subfloat]{position=top}. 
 However, I haven't been able to get left justification.  I've tried 
\captionsetup[subfloat]{justification=raggedleft}, 
\captionsetup[subfloat]{margin=0pt}, \captionsetup[subfloat]{format=hang}.  
None of those work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
