I have a similar problem as below but I am using version 1.1.6fix3 and don't see that option for me. What approach do I need to take?

Writing RFC with LyX
Hello, I was wondering if anyone is using LyX to write RFC, and if so what document template do they use? And where could one find this template? Searching google has only brought up vague ways to do it using just LaTeX, but not which LyX template, if any, one could use. Thank you. -- Sébastien Taylor Optimal Technologies P 403-514-6039x112 F 403-514-6041

Add to the preamble:

You might need to get the latest version of footmisc from CTAN.
SpellChecker
I my case when I tried to start the spellchecker on a French (francais) document (french-gutenberg to be more precise). It just hangs and stays blocked for a while I imagine it runs into an infinite loop until a time out is reached. Amusingly I tried to tell LyX that my text is formatted in English with a french-gutenberg dictionary. Then it does not hang, but it checks the text with an English dictionary. Dur-Dur. Pierre

Waiting for draw request to start loading
I'm sorry if you have been through this one before. On RedHat 7.3, I used the xforms-1RC5.2 RPMS from here ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/libforms-1.0-RC5.2.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/libforms-devel-1.0-RC5.2.i386.rpm And I have gcc-3.0.4 and I built lyx-1.2.1. Except for one little change needed in the source code about string handling, it built fine. Now when I open a lyx document that has eps figures, I see no preview, but the output does have the picture. The message in the eps box is "Waiting for draw request to start loading". On the same system, using xforms-88 and lyx-1.2.1, I do not have the same preview problem. What do you think about that one? -- Paul E.

You can use a minipage for that, and use the package rotating:
\begin{minipage}[c][\height][c]{0.1\textwidth}
\begin{sideways} \Large \textcolor{Red}{Question}\end{sideways}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[c][\height][t]{1.00\textwidth}
This is my question
\end{minipage}
Obviously, this is latex but maybe some kind sould know how to
transpose this to Lyx?

hyphenation in Dutch
Hi,
I using a dutch text for a book, and in the preamble I have:
\usepackage[dutch]{babel}
Hyphenation works rigth most of the time, but ofcourse I needed to specify some
exeptions with:
\hyphenation{ uit-zon-de-ring ... }
But the hyphenation babel dutch thing keeps making one serious mistake, almost all the
words with 'ij' in it get split between the i and the j, like:
begrijpeli-jk
waarschi-jnlijk
Wich is very wrong, and when I put them in my \hyphenation list it's allright, but
there are so many words with 'ij' that the \hyphenation list becomes very large.
Is there a way to correct this babel mistake?
Cheers,
Jeroen.

Re: pasting ASCII text into lyx is not possible?! - Problem solved
... and past it with the middle button. This I can not do as I have set the middlebutton for "close" window. But it should nevertheless work with ctrl+v - but it does not. You might reconsider your choice of function for the middle button. The KDE/Gnome method of cutting and pasting between apps is the middle mouse button. Ctrl C, Ctrl X and Ctrl V work within apps on content moved within those apps, but I've found that between most apps you must use the middle button. That was the problem! Thank you very much! I now have disabled the System setting "closeWindowOnMiddleClick" and everything works as it should. Well, I think I can get used to alt+F4 again... By the way, try running klipper. Doing so often improves your cut and paste experience. Thanks for the tip.

In the latex preamble of your document, insert the following:

That will put a 1 cm space between your two columns. See the October Linux

fine tuning an article
Dear all I am writting a paper for a conference, for which no template have been provided. I selected the Article (revTex4) class, since this seems to be the closest one to what I am looking for. However, I have to do some fine tuning... I managed to have the proper margins and fonts, but I did not find solutions for the other bit. Could anybody help me with the following issues 1) This is a 2 columns based paper, column separation must be 1 cm. The only way I know to do this would be with the multicol package, which doesn't work in this class. Anyway, trying multicol, I had problem with figure floats as well, so this does not seem to be the proper solution. How can I change the column separation? 2)Title, authors, headings and so on must be left aligned, instead of centred. But when I tried to change this through the paragraph options, I got errors. How can I do this? I suppose that is a "renewcommand..." somewhere, but this is beyond what I can do myself. Thanks for your help Etienne
