documentclass missing
Hi! Just installed Lyx. When I want to open any new template (beamer or article) lyx says that the document class is missing. If I go to Settings - Document class, I find that all document classes by dropdown are not available. How can I download and integrate this missing classes?

Re: table listed in list of tables but no caption with table?

Any ideas on how to do that?
I'm not sure I understand. If you do not want to have a caption above/below
the table, but an entry for that table in the LOT, you can insert
\addcontentsline{lot}{table}{text for the lot}
(this will not do any numbering, though)
If you want an empty caption (i.e. just the number, no text), then just
insert an optional argument (Insert-Short Title) in the empty caption and
insert the text (for the LOT) there.

Aspell broken
Hi everybody I use to have a working Aspell on LyX 1.5.1 of Win XP but I seem to have broken it. When I try F7 get the message: The spellchecker could not be started No word list could be found for language en_US. Does anyone know what to do bar re-installing LyX? thanks Christiaan

You can put the title and author as a Short Title. See attached.

Images in child documents?
Hi all, This is probably something stupid, but I've been fiddling for ages trying to get it to work. I have 1 master document, containing 3 child documents. The child documents each contain a few jpg images. If I view DVI on the child documents, the images show up fine. When I do Ctrl+D / view DVI on the master document, instead of each image, there is a blank frame with the name of a .eps file in the centre of it. I've checked in the temp directory it appears to be using ( in this case C:\DOCUME~1\Us\LOCALS~1\Temp\lyx_tmpdir2136a02468\lyx_tmpbuf0 ), and the .eps files are there, correctly generated from the .jpg, with the right content inside them (they open fine in ghostview). The latex seems to be being generated correctly as far as I can see. So, where are my images going? Any ideas? I've tested with 3 brand new documents with the same document class, and just one image in each child document, and it works fine, so I don't think it's my install, I think it must be something to do with these particular documents, but I can't find anything obvious. Joe
Re: Images in child documents?
Aha, I've got it. Just in case anyone else has the same problem, some option I was using on the (custom) latex document class was being passed through to the article class as the 'draft' option, which makes images disappear.

LyX 1.5.2 not outputing to DVI, PDF and PS
Hi there, I have installed LyX 1.5.2 on Windows XP (running LyX-1.5.2-1-Installer.exe) and was not able to make DVI, PS, PDF right from the start. When I try to export one of the templates or tutorial, or whatever to one of these formats I get these messages: LyX: Document class not available The layout file requested by this document, article.layout, is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output. I click OK and the document shows up in input mod (LyX), but when I try to export it to one of the three formats I get this: No information for exporting the format DVI No information for exporting the format PDF No information for exporting the format Postscript When I open the document settings tab I see that all the document classes are unavailable. I have MikTeX 2.5 and installed and uninstalled LyX a couple of times without success. What might be the problem and how can I deal with it? I am new to LyX and this is probably just trivia. Thanks, Luís Batalha
Strange message
Hello, After a crash ( electrical problem ... not LyX ! ). LyX correctly asked if I wanted to load the saved version and I accepted. But when I asked to save the file, I had the message : The document was modified by an external application... do yo really want to overwrite this document ? ( this message can be different, I use a french version ) Is it normal ? Siegfried.

If MikTeX is on the path and kpsewhich finds article.cls, try opening a DOS prompt in the parent directory of your user directory (Help - About LyX will tell you the user directory -- it's typically C:\Documents and Settings\you\Application Data\lyx15\, so you want the prompt in ...\Application Data). From there, run path to LyX\python\python.exe path to LyX\Resources\configure.py and keep an eye on the output.
