Hi friends

At the moment  i have installed in my computer the version Lyx 1.6.3. My
question is about to install
the version 1.6.5 without uninstalling the vesrion 1.6.3. is it possible.
My computer has windows vista.



I think the default installation directory for all 1.6.x versions under 
Windows is C:\Program Files\LyX16, so you'll need to tell the installer 
to use a different directory to avoid overwriting 1.6.3.  Other than 
that, you should be fine.  Both versions will use the same directory for 
your local settings, so 1.6.5 should automatically inherit your 1.6.3 
preferences.

rotated multirow cells with line wrapping

[James C. Sutherland]

I would like to create a table that has a multirow cell in it.  However, I need 
to wrap the text and orient it vertically (rotated 90 degrees).

I have attached a LyX file and its associated PDF output for an example of what 
I am trying to do.  I cannot get the text to wrap properly.  Any tips?  
Essentially I need to set the height of the multicolumn cell and force text 
wrapping...

I'm testing this in Ubuntu. I am NOT testme it with LyX, since give

eps file and run pdf latex thus:

$ epstopdf tangent_impulse.eps
$ pdflatex testme.tex

Then I get good output as well.  This makes me believe the problems
you are having trace back to the availability of fonts to your LaTeX
processing system or your pdf viewer.

I also attach a LyX file pjtest.lyx  I created that DOES work to
include the tangent_impulse graphics and LaTeX markup.  For me, the
only required change from a basic lyx doc was to put
\usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble. I get both dvi and pdf output
that are fine.

lyx1.6.5 + maple (windows)

[Philip A. Viton]

I've got lyx set up so that it can use the computer algebra system 
octave, so I know that it's possible to do this; but I can't seem to 
get it to work with maple. (In mathed I type 1+2 then do Edit - 
math- Use Computer Algebra - maple,simplify and I get an equal sign 
but no result).


I've added the location of maple's executables to my Lyx Path (just 
as I did with octave). Could the problem be (a) that the path is a 
bit unusual in that it ends with ...\bin.win ; or (b) that the main 
executables aren't named maple.exe, but rather something like 
cmaple9.5.exe? What is Lyx trying to run when it receives a computer 
algebra command involving maple? I could always make an additional 
copy of the relevant exe under a new name, if I know which of the 
various maple exe's lyx wanted.


Thanks for any help here!

getting the spell check to work on Windows Vista

[R M]

I have Vista.
When I click on English on http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6
I told it to install the dictionary in
C:\ProgramData\Aspell\Dictionaries

Is this the right place?
Inside I get 58 files with extensions ALIAS, DAT, MULTI, or RWS,

The error message is
The spellchecker could not be started
No word lists can be found for the language en_US.

Even debugging info would be helpful?  Is it looking somewhere else?  Is Vista
really an issue (I doubt it!, but people might want to write it off to vista)

Is there a way I can get a more useful error message?
Where is it looking for the word lists?
Why doesn't it find it.
