RevTeX
I am a newbie to TeX, so this could explain many things. After installing LyX, I tried to read a paper of a friend of main, written down in laTeX, using RevTeX macros. Update postscript gave me a lot (more than 500) errors, even after specifying to use Layout-document-revTeX. There is something I do not know?

Re: !TeX capacity exceeded, sorry -- HELP!
Jean-Marc, Thanks for the suggestion. Here is what I have done. I have one very large table. I wanted to place it in one table float. But when I check long table (to cause it to break across pages), it never splits across pages. So instead I made 8 separate tables by hand. After doing this, when I tried to create a Postscript view, I only got two pages instead of 18 pages. Then I looked at the log to see what was happening. So now I've broken the document into three parts which is OK but not ideal. I hope that if I don't use the table float, the table will break across pages.

Question about bibliography
Is it possible to divide bibliography part of a lyx document into two or more sections (for example: books, articles, video, etc.) If possible how? Is it possible to start numbering from 1 for each section in the bibliography...

A list problem
Hi, I am re-writing my list of publications, and I would like to do it in the following way: 1990 1. Economic policy, Cheltenham: Elgar. 2. The birds and the bees, Oxford: OUP 1991 3. New developments in theory, in: Journal of Whatever, pp. 23-25 4. Why Moravcsik is Wrong, in: International Affairs, pp. 1-17 etc. So the problem is that I want to have consecutive numbering on the items, but intermittently I would like to put in the years. Does anyone have an idea how I can do it? I looked in the handbook, but couldn't find any example for this (admittedly strange) problem.

Advice reqd.: Going to start thesis
Hi, this will be my first attempt at writing a thesis using LyX and so I've been following the discussions on the subject which were taking place in May. Before I start writing the thesis I'd like some info. I'd appreciate it even if you have answers to only some of the questions: 1. Since my university doesn't have a fixed class style (there's guidelines but no fix style), should I use the "book" style or "article" style? 2. Is it possible to have my bibliography in the format: Authorname, Title, Year instead of [1] Authorname, Title, Year The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to reference papers by Authorname, Year in the body of my thesis instead of using number in the form of [x]. If this is possible then how are cross references and labels made. 3. Since I expect the thesis to run into a couple of hundred pages I thought of writing it in sections, i.e. a each chapter in a seperate files, so that it's easy for me to carry a copy round in a disk. Will I have any trouble combining the chapters later? What happens to the bibliography? Can I have a common bibliography for all the files? Thanks very much! _ Do You Yahoo!?

How to get rid of jaggy fonts?
Hi -- I've been running LyX 1.0.3 successfully under RedHat 6.0 on my ThinkPad 600 for a few weeks now with little problems (although I haven't gotten the previewing to work, but that's a different story...). The one problem I haven't been able to solve is the appearance of fonts. In general, they don't look as clean as on my desktop machine, but in particular: 1. Boldface typefaces (e.g. those used in most headings) appear jagged, as if they were rendered at a different size and then stretched up. 2. Fonts are much smaller: setting Options - Screen Options - Font Zoom to 100 on my desktop produces very legible sizes, whereas on my laptop the sizes are much smaller (appear to be about 5 pixels tall) I'm generally an X11 novice, but I poked around with xfontsel on both machines, and they seem to have similar font configurations. For example, setting xfontsel to display -*-times-medium-r- on both machines yields the same results. Is there something else that would affect the size of fonts in LyX? Thanks in advance. Ramon P.S. I very much echo Julian's kudos to Lyx -- it has made LaTeX palatable for me!! -+ Ramon M. Felciano| InGenuity Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.ingenuity.com/ -+
