Re: Hyperref
Many thanks I have solved that with the little additional hyperref option. I now have a further issue. In my book I include an abstract and acknowledgements. These are included in the table of contents using ERT and \addcontentsline. However although both appear in the bookmarks, they both link to the same page, ie the first on the comes up. Is there anyway to correct this. WHen I use \pdfbookmark.. I end up with two enteries in the bookmarks which looks horrid. - Original Message - From: "Uwe Stöhr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Geoffrey Lloyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 10:48 PM Subject: Re: Hyperref Geoffrey Lloyd wrote: I am using the little hyperref premable from the lyx wiki \usepackage[ colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=black, pdfstartview=FitH, bookmarksopen=true,bookmarksopenlevel=0, pagebackref=true, pdftoolbar=false]{hyperref} and all works beautifully until I include my front pages. > I am not quite sure what the issue is but it causes a lot of errors in lyx. > My first guess is that is means there are two pages number 1 and so on.

help: placement of page numbering
Hi. If anyone can help me that would be great. I have a thesis that was written with the report document class. Initially, the placement of the page numbers was: centered on the bottom for the beginning of a chapter and top right hand corner for the rest of the pages. I added roman numbering at the beginning and now all the arabic numbering is centered at the bottom. I need the roman numbering and the original placement of the page numbers. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jill
Table in SGML LinuxDoc article
When I insert a table in LinuxDoc, it creates what looks like a text table (with + and |). But it seems to forget to add the right . So instead of the expected: +---+---+ | cell1 | cell2 | +---+---+ I get the unsightly: +---+---+| cell1 | cell2 |+---+---+ Is it a Lyx bug or a LinuxDoc bug? Any fix? Platform: - Linux Mandrake 10.1 - lyx-1.3.4-5mdk Any ideas? Guillaume.

For those cases use xpdf which lets you mark a rectangular section and puts it into the X-buffer. It can then be pasted into an editor with the middle button.

NatBib problem: one author with more than one publication in the same year ==> Error message
In my bib-file I have an author who have written more than one publication in a year. When citing these publications I would expect NatBib to handle it by doing something like: Sandsgaard, Janus (2004a) Sandsgaard, Janus (2004b) (this is what apalike does). But instead I get an error message: "Misplaced alignment tab character &. e=uk&category=11} . I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely, you're probably due for more error messages, and you might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable." I have tried building my own .bst for NatBib (using latex makebst - thank you, Jürgen!), and this one do the 2004a, 2004b trick. But as I do not fully understand the .bst and all the questions I answered using makebst, I do not feel confortable about using this home made one. I would prefer something standard, and I can't imagine that I am the first one to run into this problem using one of the .bst's that comes with NatBib. Suggestions?
