I just needed to set the Page Style to plain so that no header-footer decorations and no page numbers appear. If they do appear, the cropping is such that headers-footers and the page number are included. Thanks. Jerry

There are many spellcheckers supported by LyX and multiple operating systems to which LyX has been ported, and you haven't told us which you use. I urge you to determine which spellchecker you've installed, by selecting Tools > Preferences > Language Settings > Spellchecker Then use a search engine to find the documentation for that spellchecker, and then read its documentation to learn how to install the vocabulary for whatever languages are relevant to your purposes.

If there is to be a list of substring substitutions automatically to be made, then there is no particular reason to confine it to misspellings. If I somehow know that I am always going to intend to have typed “watermelon” when I type “giraffe”, or “\sim” when I type “\defeq”, then I will want these substitutions made as well. But if I know that I never intend to type “satistics” then why would I still do it so often that the ordinary find-and-replace function weren't sufficient to fix the occasional lapse? And do I really want a wordprocessor as if cynically imagined by Cyril M. Kornbluth https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51233/51233-h/51233-h.htm
Re: weird language management
I had that problem the other day. You probably need to install the appropriate spellcheck dictionaries.

Re: Parentheses keys are reversed in Hebrew
Hi,
I've made some more experiments (this time on the git version) and it seems
the behavior changes based on how hebrew is typed:
* If you are using the system's keyboard layout then () get reversed, and
[] {} <> are correct.
* If you are using lyx's hebrew keymap (and system's keyboard layout as
english) then () are correct and [],{} and <> are reversed.
In both cases, the display in lyx matches xelatex output (which is good).
Thanks,
Guy

Re: Parentheses keys are reversed in Hebrew
Hi, I'm re-sending my last message as it appears I accidentally didn't send it to the list. I've also added the lyx-devel, as it seems to be more appropriate.

It seems that the code handling parenthesis had been moved to somewhere else. Where does it resides now? I want to try and patch it so it won't reverse parenthesis in hebrew. Thanks, Guy
