how to obtain header and footer to insert in word document

[Renato Pontefice]

Hi,
I've created a good header and footer for my business card. I would create
a model (.dot) on MS Word (and Libre(open office), because some people use
it instead of Lyx :-( .

So, I would capture the header and footer , save them as a jpg (or
whathever image) then create a model where to insert the two images.

Can someone help me?

TIA

Renato

Beamer

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Maybe you could answer to my question.

I use beamer and the table of contents.

\AtBeginSection[]{
  \framebeamer{ 
\frametitle{\textcolor{yellow}{Outline}}
\tableofcontents[currentsection]%,currentsubsection]
  }
}

The Outline is OK,
Every time that I pass from a Section to the next one I get the section Title

However, I would like that it also shows the subsections at that time
only (ie not in the TOC)!
Can I have a tableofcontents of subsections for each section?


Thank.

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.1.2.1 Released

[Richard Heck]

Public release of LyX version 2.1.2.1
=

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.2.1.

This is an emergency release for OSX only. It resolves problems that affect
LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and, indeed, any program that depends upon the
passing of environment variables to sub-processes. Only users of OSX 10.10
should upgrade to this version.

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

You can download LyX 2.1.2.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

The remainder of this file describes the 2.1.2 release, which was the
second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.

LyX 2.1.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.

The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem
that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0,
sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes 
generally
happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, 
usually a
fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a 
crash when
trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That 
bug has

also been fixed.

Do report your bugs, then! It really does help make LyX better, often in 
ways

you might not expect.

So, if you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.2, open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
at lists.lyx.org) and ask.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.2.

The LyX team.

Problem in starting Lyx

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi,

I am a user of Lyx ( in Ubuntu 12.04) for a year. My lyx was working fine
but suddenly it got crashed and when I tried to restart it , the program
did not respond. I unistalled Lyx and reinstalled it following the
instructions in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu.

But now when I am attempting to start Lyx, in the terminal it shows the
following error message:

Warning: Could not read configuration file

Error while reading the configuration file
preferences.
Please check your installation.

Please help me. I do not much about ubuntu and lyx. Please help me to solve
this issue.

Thanks in advance

Lyx window exceeds screen size

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi

I am a user of Lyx in my netbook for the past one year. But recently I
noticed that many windows in Lyx launch to a size that is larger than my
netbook screen. As a result I cannot use the Ok button to confirm my
changes/ customizations. Further these windows does not allow resizing.

I faced it specially with the preferences  option in Tool menu   and
when I want to insert any citation from the Insert -Citation  option.

Please suggest me some way so that I can insert citation in the documents
or can resize that window.


Thanks in advance

My guess would be that somehow your configuration file got corrupted.  
LyX will generate a new one, though, if you just get rid of, or rename, 
the directory $(HOME)/.lyx  Then it should start and search your system, 
setting up your configuration based on what programs and defaults you have.

You probably had opened that file on a machine with a larger screen 
earlier.  It will often open in that same size the next time it is run.  
But there is a trick to use on your laptop (this may vary with your 
GUI).  Click on the window while holding down the ALT key, then move the 
mouse.  The window should move.  Then you can find the OK button and 
resizing tabs.


I faced it specially with the preferences  option in Tool menu

Ah, these never allow resizing.  Again, ALT+Left click-hold and drag 
should work.

Re: how to obtain header and footer to insert in word document

[Anders Ekberg]

You can open pdf in inkscape and cut the footer and/or export that part to a
png-file.
There are also other programs that can translate from pdf to e.g. png. Which
depends on your platform.

All the best!

I am a user of Lyx ( in Ubuntu 12.04) for a year. My lyx was working fine
but suddenly it got crashed and when I tried to restart it , the program
did not respond. I unistalled Lyx and reinstalled it following the
instructions in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu.

But now when I am attempting to start Lyx, in the terminal it shows the
following error message:

Warning: Could not read configuration file

Error while reading the configuration file
preferences.
Please check your installation.

Please help me. I do not much about ubuntu and lyx. Please help me to solve
this issue.

Thanks in advance

Lyx window exceeds screen size

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi

I am a user of Lyx in my netbook for the past one year. But recently I
noticed that many windows in Lyx launch to a size that is larger than my
netbook screen. As a result I cannot use the Ok button to confirm my
changes/ customizations. Further these windows does not allow resizing.

I faced it specially with the preferences  option in Tool menu   and
when I want to insert any citation from the Insert -Citation  option.

Please suggest me some way so that I can insert citation in the documents
or can resize that window.


Thanks in advance

My guess would be that somehow your configuration file got corrupted.  
LyX will generate a new one, though, if you just get rid of, or rename, 
the directory $(HOME)/.lyx  Then it should start and search your system, 
setting up your configuration based on what programs and defaults you have.

You probably had opened that file on a machine with a larger screen 
earlier.  It will often open in that same size the next time it is run.  
But there is a trick to use on your laptop (this may vary with your 
GUI).  Click on the window while holding down the ALT key, then move the 
mouse.  The window should move.  Then you can find the OK button and 
resizing tabs.

Ah, these never allow resizing.  Again, ALT+Left click-hold and drag

Re: how to obtain header and footer to insert in word document

You can open pdf in inkscape and cut the footer and/or export that part to a

There are also other programs that can translate from pdf to e.g. png. Which

Beamer

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Maybe you could answer to my question.

I use beamer and the table of contents.

\AtBeginSection[]{
  \frame{ 
\frametitle{\textcolor{yellow}{Outline}}
\tableofcontents[currentsection]%,currentsubsection]
  }
}

The Outline is OK,
Every time that I pass from a Section to the next one I get the section Title

However, I would like that it also shows the subsections at that time
only (ie not in the TOC)!
Can I have a tableofcontents of subsections for each section?


Thank.

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.1.2.1 Released

[Richard Heck]

Public release of LyX version 2.1.2.1
=

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.2.1.

This is an emergency release for OSX only. It resolves problems that affect
LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and, indeed, any program that depends upon the
passing of environment variables to sub-processes. Only users of OSX 10.10
should upgrade to this version.

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

You can download LyX 2.1.2.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

The remainder of this file describes the 2.1.2 release, which was the
second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.

LyX 2.1.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.

The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem
that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0,
sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes 
generally
happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, 
usually a
fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a 
crash when
trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That 
bug has

also been fixed.

Do report your bugs, then! It really does help make LyX better, often in 
ways

you might not expect.

So, if you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.2, open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
 lists.lyx.org) and ask.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
users' list (lyx-users  lists.lyx.org).

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.2.

The LyX team.
http://www.lyx.org

Hello,

I use the option ShortTitle of Title. but the math formula are wrong.
Typically, the super- and under-script are at the same size than the

Lyx window exceeds screen size

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi

I am a user of Lyx in my netbook for the past one year. But recently I
noticed that many windows in Lyx launch to a size that is larger than my
netbook screen. As a result I cannot use the "Ok" button to confirm my
changes/ customizations. Further these windows does not allow resizing.

I faced it specially with the "preferences " option in "Tool" menu   and
when I want to insert any citation from the "Insert -Citation " option.

Please suggest me some way so that I can insert citation in the documents
or can resize that window.
