I don't know about the date issue, but to eliminate the header line see
Section 3.6 of the Extended Features help manual. This is available under

Someone else provided for the date issue using /date{} in the preamble.
And I did see a way to turn of BOTH headers and footers there, But I
didn't see any way to keep the required footer, while selectively dumping
the header for only the one page. However Thank you for getting me to

completely missed the solution to the header under bar problem I

Screen fonts for CJK-LyX with Big5 encoding
Greetings, I have just installed the latest CJK-LyX (CJK-LyX-qt-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm), using the TeX Live distribution. This works really well with GB encoding (simplified Chinese characters), both for screen preview and in the DVI/PDF output. However, with Big5 encoding, as required for traditional characters, screen display is not working at all. On the web page http://cellular.phys.pusan.ac.kr/cjk-use.html, there are some instructions for initializing CJK-LyX for Big5, but they don't work; the following is reported to the console. LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n1_encoding' [around line 102 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `big5-0' [around line 102 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n2_encoding' [around line 103 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `big5-0' [around line 103 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n1_normal' [around line 104 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n1_gothic' [around line 105 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n2_normal' [around line 106 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n2_gothic' [around line 107 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] Perhaps the switches \screen_font_i18n1_encoding, etc., have gone out of use. I have Googled hard, but found no solution. Does anyone here know how to get CJK-LyX working with Big5? Best, Johan.
Re: long-time LyX user needs install help on Mac OSX 10.4.8
The following documents (the rest of the data from this thread) how I got the PDF and DVI viewers and PDF and HTML exports all working on Mac OSX 10.4.8 (just as I have them in my Slackware Linux setup) -- with much thanks to Jens Noeckel's help. -- On Wed, 10 Jan 2007, Jens Noeckel wrote: On Jan 10, 2007, at 11:00 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 7 Jan 2007, Jens Noeckel wrote: 2 of the 3 pdf conversions work. On viewing or exporting with dvipdfm, I get the following error: ... error running dvipdfmx -p letter -o 'newfile1.pdf' 'newfile1.dvi' dvipdfmx exists. So is the command line wrong? I've always had simply dvipdfm as the driver (had not installed dvipdfmx at all because I didn't need it). Now I tried that using fink and got the same error as you. The error was, as you suggested, that I was using the dvipdfmx command but didn't actually have it installed -- only dvipdfm from fink. So I installed dvipdfmx and it uninstalled other things which caused some of the viewers to stop working. So I uninstalled dvipdfmx and took the 'x' off of the command line leaving dvipdfm to do the work, and viola! -- all three pdf viewers and exports now work. thanks! Also, it seems that I have to have X11 running to use the DVI. So do I need to start X11 before running the DVI viewer? And which? And should I remove the other X11? I wouldn't worry about it. The X11's can coexist, as far as I know. But you're right, there is a bug in open-x11 which doesn't let it automatically start X11.app, as I had intended (it works if you provide an argument to open-x11). Another thing I never noticed, because I have X11 running all the time, anyway... So the better way to do this is: replace open-x11 by open -a X11 in the line I sent you earlier, i.e., open -a X11 export DISPLAY=:0.0 /sw/bin/xdvik Yes, adding the -a works for opening X11 automatically. So the DVI viewer is all smooth and nice now too! :-) And oops -- to bring this up to the functionality I depend on in linux on the Mac, I mostly need to be able to export to html as well as pdf. For that, I would suggest doing a fink install tex4ht (I don't think you can get tth from fink, but tex4ht is extremely good in my opinion; there's also hevea). You may have to run Reconfigure in LyX after the installation. I guess I assumed that I got a new html export when I upgraded to 1.4.3 in slackware. But I've been using TTH for years now which I installed a couple years back. So I guess that wasn't part of the upgrade then. But it sure does work seamlessly in LyX 1.4.3 on linux if it's from that old install. The exported files retain the important parts of the lyx formatting I need and require little or no modification thereafter. I had trouble with tex4ht -- I guess because it's converting from DVI and I couldn't figure out the command line. I may re-investigate this later. So I went to TTH's website and downloaded the latest source. http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth Then I installed all the Xcode stuff from OSX, and the OSX gcc. Then tth compilied quite simply. I moved the executable to /usr/local/bin. And then I replicated the command line my linux setup has for the html export in preferences - converters - LaTeX (plain) - HTML: tth -t -e2 -L$$b $$i $$o And it works beautifully as it does in linux. :-) As for importing from Word, I'm not sure I'll need this but I'm using a package I got some years ago -- wv. Command line in MS Word - LaTeX exports is wvCleanLatex $$i $$o The package is wv. Though the one I have is old and I suspect there are better options.

Error viewing dvi on windows

LyX should have installed a partial version of Python 2.5 in LyX root\python. As a temporary fix, try adding that directory to Tools-Preferences...-Paths-PATH prefix (assuming you didn't remove it). You might also want to (a) verify that the new Python install works by running it against some test scripts (assuming you have or can lay hands on any) and (b) compare directory listings of the LyX\python folder (and subfolders) to the corresponding folders of the full Python installation, to make sure that the full installation has everything LyX provides. If you have not already done so, try running python -V from a command line (note that the V is case-sensitive) to see if the full install works at least minimally. /Paul

Well that explains why I was able to find a way to make it work as an ert...
I just got home from work. I'd thought of the fact that the date was
embedded right after the from address. And while I had tried the ERT
version on page 1 I hadn't done so in the right part of the page body.
So I moved the \date{} ERT from the beginning of the body text (via C-x)
to the beginning of the from address (via C-v). And this time (C-t)
yielded a gv presentation of the letter that no longer included the date
below the from address. So I guess that if I get the ERT in there early
enough on the first page I can slam that barn door on that poor old cows
nose, just before it gets out of the barn... ;-)#

Now when I try and view, say, a dvi, I get this error: LyX: Cannot convert file An error occurred whilst running python -tt C:/Program Files/LyX14/Resources/scrip That's the whole error -- it is cut off. One change I made is python 2.4 was not in the path, but then I did put 2.5 in the path. I'm guessing the two python 2.5 installs are fighting with LyX. What's the best way to resolve this? -- Best regards, Andrew Diederich

LyX should have installed a partial version of Python 2.5 in LyX root\python. As a temporary fix, try adding that directory to Tools-Preferences...-Paths-PATH prefix (assuming you didn't remove it). You might also want to (a) verify that the new Python install works by running it against some test scripts (assuming you have or can lay hands on any) and (b) compare directory listings of the LyX\python folder (and subfolders) to the corresponding folders of the full Python installation, to make sure that the full installation has everything LyX provides. If you have not already done so, try running python -V from a command line (note that the V is case-sensitive) to see if the full install works at least minimally. /Paul

I'm not sure which bit I did that truly fixed it. I did a LyX reconfigure, and that didn't do it, but then logged out and back in, and now I can work with LyX again, even though my own python 2.5 is in the path. Thanks for all the suggestions.

What happens if you put \date{} in the preamble? Works for other

In the preamble it works... Oddly it doesn't as an ERT inserted on page
one of this document class: 'letter'
LaTeX fills in the date on the title page before it parses any text on the
title page (other than maybe the title itself), so putting it in ERT on the
first page is slamming the barn door after the cow has bolted.
Well that explains why I was able to find a way to make it work as an ert...
I just got home from work. I'd thought of the fact that the date was
embedded right after the from address. And while I had tried the ERT
version on page 1 I hadn't done so in the right part of the page body.
So I moved the \date{} ERT from the beginning of the body text (via C-x)
to the beginning of the from address (via C-v). And this time (C-t)
yielded a gv presentation of the letter that no longer included the date
below the from address. So I guess that if I get the ERT in there early
enough on the first page I can slam that barn door on that poor old cows
nose, just before it gets out of the barn... ;-)#

Someone else provided for the date issue using /date{} in the preamble.
And I did see a way to turn of BOTH headers and footers there, But I
didn't see any way to keep the required footer, while selectively dumping

AFAIK LyX works fine with texlive. At least the users of the Debian package requested that we offer the choice between tetex and texlive and since that's done I've got no complains. So I assume tetex and texlive are interchangeable without causing trouble for LyX users.

Can't make a new document.

Screen fonts for CJK-LyX with Big5 encoding
Greetings, I have just installed the latest CJK-LyX (CJK-LyX-qt-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm), using the TeX Live distribution. This works really well with GB encoding (simplified Chinese characters), both for screen preview and in the DVI/PDF output. However, with Big5 encoding, as required for traditional characters, screen display is not working at all. On the web page http://cellular.phys.pusan.ac.kr/cjk-use.html, there are some instructions for initializing CJK-LyX for Big5, but they don't work; the following is reported to the console. LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n1_encoding' [around line 102 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `big5-0' [around line 102 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n2_encoding' [around line 103 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `big5-0' [around line 103 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n1_normal' [around line 104 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n1_gothic' [around line 105 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n2_normal' [around line 106 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_i18n2_gothic' [around line 107 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults] Perhaps the switches \screen_font_i18n1_encoding, etc., have gone out of use. I have Googled hard, but found no solution. Does anyone here know how to get CJK-LyX working with Big5? Best, Johan.
Re: long-time LyX user needs install help on Mac OSX 10.4.8
The following documents (the rest of the data from this thread) how I got the PDF and DVI viewers and PDF and HTML exports all working on Mac OSX 10.4.8 (just as I have them in my Slackware Linux setup) -- with much thanks to Jens Noeckel's help. -- On Wed, 10 Jan 2007, Jens Noeckel wrote: On Jan 10, 2007, at 11:00 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 7 Jan 2007, Jens Noeckel wrote: 2 of the 3 pdf conversions work. On viewing or exporting with dvipdfm, I get the following error: ... error running dvipdfmx -p letter -o 'newfile1.pdf' 'newfile1.dvi' dvipdfmx exists. So is the command line wrong? I've always had simply dvipdfm as the driver (had not installed dvipdfmx at all because I didn't need it). Now I tried that using fink and got the same error as you. The error was, as you suggested, that I was using the dvipdfmx command but didn't actually have it installed -- only dvipdfm from fink. So I installed dvipdfmx and it uninstalled other things which caused some of the viewers to stop working. So I uninstalled dvipdfmx and took the 'x' off of the command line leaving dvipdfm to do the work, and viola! -- all three pdf viewers and exports now work. thanks! Also, it seems that I have to have X11 running to use the DVI. So do I need to start X11 before running the DVI viewer? And which? And should I remove the other X11? I wouldn't worry about it. The X11's can coexist, as far as I know. But you're right, there is a "bug" in open-x11 which doesn't let it automatically start X11.app, as I had intended (it works if you provide an argument to open-x11). Another thing I never noticed, because I have X11 running all the time, anyway... So the better way to do this is: replace "open-x11" by "open -a X11" in the line I sent you earlier, i.e., open -a X11 && export DISPLAY=:0.0 && /sw/bin/xdvik Yes, adding the -a works for opening X11 automatically. So the DVI viewer is all smooth and nice now too! :-) And oops -- to bring this up to the functionality I depend on in linux on the Mac, I mostly need to be able to export to html as well as pdf. For that, I would suggest doing a "fink install tex4ht" (I don't think you can get tth from fink, but tex4ht is extremely good in my opinion; there's also "hevea"). You may have to run Reconfigure in LyX after the installation. I guess I assumed that I got a new html export when I upgraded to 1.4.3 in slackware. But I've been using TTH for years now which I installed a couple years back. So I guess that wasn't part of the upgrade then. But it sure does work seamlessly in LyX 1.4.3 on linux if it's from that old install. The exported files retain the important parts of the lyx formatting I need and require little or no modification thereafter. I had trouble with tex4ht -- I guess because it's converting from DVI and I couldn't figure out the command line. I may re-investigate this later. So I went to TTH's website and downloaded the latest source. http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth Then I installed all the Xcode stuff from OSX, and the OSX gcc. Then tth compilied quite simply. I moved the executable to /usr/local/bin. And then I replicated the command line my linux setup has for the html export in preferences - converters - LaTeX (plain) -> HTML: tth -t -e2 -L$$b <$$i >$$o And it works beautifully as it does in linux. :-) As for importing from Word, I'm not sure I'll need this but I'm using a package I got some years ago -- wv. Command line in MS Word -> LaTeX exports is wvCleanLatex $$i $$o The package is wv. Though the one I have is old and I suspect there are better options. And here one more stupid question from a long-time LyX user: what's a "wiki"? <:-O I've seen it and probably should know what it is. Is it an acronym? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Boy was THAT ever a complete definition! Thanks for bringing me out of the dark on this one too! And thanks much for all the other help! jamie faunt

Well that explains why I was able to find a way to make it work as an ert...
I just got home from work. I'd thought of the fact that the date was
embedded right after the "from" address. And while I had tried the ERT
version on page 1 I hadn't done so in the right part of the page body.
So I moved the \date{} ERT from the beginning of the body text (via C-x)
to the beginning of the "from" address (via C-v). And this time (C-t)
yielded a gv presentation of the letter that no longer included the date
below the "from" address. So I guess that if I get the ERT in there early
enough on the first page I can slam that barn door on that poor old cows
nose, just before it gets out of the barn... ;-)#
