Both these solutions work brilliantly. Thanks to all!
This list is really brilliant.

Are these methods of selection in the LyX help documents?
Or are they artefacts of the Qt library?

Cool, thanks. One glitch though: the layout of the title page changes:
the text becomes vertically aligned on the centre [1]. Is this
expected? (It also impacts more heavily the tilte page of `article
(paper)'.)

No, I just follow your initial suggestion (10 minutes work). I agree 
this is not really satisfactory but this feature never was really 
satisfactoryto begin with. At least now we are at the same level as 1.5.

Re: Citation and creation of bibliography

Hello everybody, 


at the moment I am working at my first larger Lyx-project. So far I was really
impressed but I got stuck with the creation of my bibliography. Unfortunately,
I could not find the answers to my problems in the mail archive. Maybe one of
you could give me a hint how to go on?

Goal:

I would like the citation within the text to look as the following example:

“ ...the teacher is aware of what NATION called a “balanced language course” 
(c.f. p. 3
Nation, 2001)...” 

 

The bibliography of  a monography should look like the following example does: 


Baddeley, A. (1990) Human Memory, London: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.

or for an article:

Bahrick, H. P. and Phelps E. (1987) ´Retention of Spanish vocabulary over 8 
years´, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition, 13, 
344-349.

Problems:

I assume that “Jurabib” would be they correct style of citation for my purposes.
Unfortunately Lyx produces follwing error message: 


Undefined control sequence

You can´t use ´\relax´ after \the

Does anyone know a solution for that problem?
  
I'd suggest you post a file that has this problem. As small as possible. 
One possibility is that there is an error somewhere in the BibTeX file.

Dear all,
There is a numbering issue in 1.6.2. I've encountered it in several

insert `new page' add some more standard text (see attached file).
This results in the numbering being displayed on the first page, but

This is an issue with the maketitle command lyx uses to create the 
titlepage when you specify title, author, etc...
In the article class and some others the titlepage is by default not on 
a single page without numbering, but there is an option you can pass to 
the class in the document>preferences dialog.
There you can set the class-option "titlepage" (just add it to the empty 
line) and everything will be fine, you can even omit the newpage.

I suppose it will work if you 
keep to either LaTeX macro or inputenc.

* convert the LaTeX file to latin1 or unicode \"a -> ä and use the correct
  inputenc option, or
  
* convert the file to ASCII ä -> \"a and remove the inputenc call.

Umlaut import, again

2009-04-24 Thread E.Kaplan
I am sorry to have to return to this issue, since I thought I had a 
solution. 
It turns out that this solution (\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} ) works 
ONLY on my home machine (Windows XP sp3-miktex 2.7), but not on my 2 
office machines (Windows XP-sp3 miktex 2.7 and kubuntu 8.10 with livetex).
On the office machines I still am getting the error: Unknown parameter 
name {a}ssle because I have an a with an umlaut.
It seems like a small problem, but it will make my life MUCH easier if I 
knew how to import Latex files with umlauts in them.

I don't think you need LyX for this.  If you're generating reports, do
it with a quick web front end, some Perl or Python or whatever, and
LaTeX->PDF.  Very easy.

Hi,
I'm a new :LyX user and I love it.  However, I can't figure out how to make
the document portable.  I keep each document in a project that includes each
figure, but when I open the file up on a new machine, within that same
project folder, all the figures are gone.  All that is there is the name of
the file, and a "loaded into memory.  Generating ...".  This stinks when
there are a lot of images in the document.  There must be a solution to
this.



If you get the "loaded into memory" message, I'm pretty sure LyX is 
finding the image files ok.  It's liable to be a problem with 
ImageMagick (or maybe LyX's communication with ImageMagick) on the 
second machine.


I have an intermittent problem with image display in LyX 1.6.1 on my 
home PC (Win XP).  Sometimes the images in a document will display in 
the GUI, and sometimes the same document will show a bunch of 
"Generating ..." messages but no images.  Note that in all cases LyX 
finds the images, and they display properly in the output (PDF or DVI), 
just not in the GUI.  I haven't had time to track down the issue.  Maybe 
this is what you're running into.  In my case, sometimes closing and 
reopening the document alleviates the problem.

Dear LyX,
 
Right now we are generating the pdf reports using Jasper (nearly 120 
reports) and we are planning to migrate into Lyx.
Is it possible? We have a parameterised reports and subreports. if possible 
then how will connect to database and how to write the queries in LyX ? Please 
let me know.
 
I would appreciate if you provide  the quick response.
 
Thanks

I send you the layout files again, in other container format: zip.
If that not working for you, I could send you directly the files just
