Re: Tables with columns with the same width
I would like to know how to set the columns having the same width. Could somebody here please help me? You can do this by setting the width of each column to be a percentage of the entire table width. So if you had 4 columns, then you can set each column's width to 25%.. To do this - with the cursor somewhere in a column, right click on the the column and in the box that pops up, put in 25 in the width box and select col% from the drop down menu to the right (I think it's col% that you want but you can play around with the other % options too to see what works best).. repeat for each column... not sure if there's a way to do this for all columns at one go - selecting all columns and doing the above doesn't seem to work...

lyx on windows?

I've been following the discussion since a while and reading the LyX-Qt wiki, still I cannot solve the math-fonts problem: I have a Debian/testing system with lyx 1.3.2: LyX 1.3.2 of Tue, May 6 2003 Built on Jun 5 2003, 11:55:33 Configuration Host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu Frontend: qt Qt version: 3.1.1 Installed the latex-xft-fonts package and run dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and dpkg-reconfigure tetex-extra (as suggested in the wiki) but still ERT for \alpha...\omega. Do I need a patch? Is lyx 1.3.3 available as a Debian package? Günter -- G.Milde at web.de

I had the same problem with lyx-1.3.3/Qt mentioned in the first posting of this thread when trying to build a package for Debian Woody with KDE 3.1.3. By contrast, I have no problems to build a package of lyx-1.3.2/Qt.

Re: Tables with columns with the same width
I would like to know how to set the columns having the same width. Could somebody here please help me? You can do this by setting the width of each column to be a percentage of the entire table width. So if you had 4 columns, then you can set each column's width to 25%.. To do this - with the cursor somewhere in a column, right click on the the column and in the box that pops up, put in 25 in the width box and select "col%" from the drop down menu to the right (I think it's col% that you want but you can play around with the other % options too to see what works best).. repeat for each column... not sure if there's a way to do this for all columns at one go - selecting all columns and doing the above doesn't seem to work... Thanks a lot for the helpful replies of Nirmal and of Kenward! Paul

It's my understanding that with this isn't necessarily true when you consider unicode and not just ascii.

If you were to use unicode, you would store the data in something bigger. wchar_t, for instance. Of course your program might contain something like: #ifdef USE_UNICODE typedef wchar_t MyChar; #else typedef char MyChar; #endif MyChar const * const magic = "abracadabra"; -- Angus
lyx on windows?
Hi, I use Lyx on Linux, but my wife is going to write a few works and she has a lot of bad experiences with Word :-). I looked on the Web fpr lyx on windows, and indeed I found a few infos; what I did not really understand, is: do I have to install cygwin first? Is there anything I should pay attention to? Thanks, Tibor P.S. How is it with spellcheck?!?

Sorry, I just checked the windows site for lyx and read the prerequisites...
Re: Vertical spacing before and after chapter headings
The code found at http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/LaTeX/space/space.phtml#chapter does not seem to work for my case as there are about 15 error messages. Not knowing much about LaTeX, I cannot debug the code. It may actually be something simple. If there is someone who can help me find the problem or knows another method, please contact me. Thanks, Brad Bradley Navarro wrote: Hello, I need to have control over the vertical spacing between the top of the page and the chapter headings and the vertical spacing after the chapter headings for all pages with chapter headings on them. All other pages can remain at the default. For example: [space] Chapter 1 [space] Introduction [space] where I need to be able to define the amount of space in the areas labeled [space]. I have tried various solutions given to me by individuals on this list, but without success. Some of this may be my inexperience in dealing with LATEX. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. I am using the report class in lyx 1.3.3. Thanks, Brad
Re: lyx under Windows
Anca Tibor- Attila wrote: Sorry, I just checked the windows site for lyx and read the prerequisites... Not sure which version you checked but there are two versions for Windows - one uses Cygwin and needs an X-server (such as Exceed or Xwin32 or Cygwin's XFree86). The other one, known as the Win32 port, by Ruurd Reitsma, is a native Windows port and hence all you need is LaTeX (and you'll need the graphics manipulation program, spellchecker etc. just like in any other port). The former is based on LyX 1.3.1 and uses XForms for the frontend while the latter is based on 1.3.2 and uses Qt.. Ruurd's port is easier to install... nirmal
