It might help if you could post a minimal example that exhibits the errors. /Paul

Please, take into account that this is an English "speaking" list! Find below a tentative translation of your question: "I would like to use LyX to write my Ph.D. Thesis on Systems engineering. May I customize LyX to fit the requirements of my institution?" And here a tentative answer: Yes, you can! I think the best path is to look for classes and packages a available for writing thesis and, once you get a clear idea about how LyX behaves, go to the Customization manual available in the LyX's help menu. This could be a good starting point... http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Thesis I am new to LyX myself and I've found LyX wiki, documentation and great users' list really helpful.

Return to Previous Cursor Position
It would speed up my navigating, especially when I'm going back and forth in a long document, if I could return to the previous cursor position with a key combination. Is this possible? Bruce LyX/Mac 1.6.5

IEICE has provided a class file and an example file on its website (attached with this letter). However, I don't know how to convert the class file into the required layout file. Could anyone be so kind to help me on this problem? If you submitted a paper to this journal before, I guess you already had it. Maybe you can send it to me directly. Read chapter 5 of the customization manual. It's probably not that difficult. Richard
Re: Conversion of LyX to word - read-only - idea from other mailing list
That's the funniest thing I've ever read, and it's the perfect thing to give these bozos who insist on MS Word. I'm pretty sure for big documents this could be automated with pdftk and convert plus a program to generate an abiword file from the page pictures. The abiword file can then be converted to an msword .doc , which then could be manually tweaked as a whole to get things exactly the way you want it.

Question on biblatex
Hello
although my question is not about lyx, I hope you my help me anyway.
(or maybe redirect me to the right forum).
In the biblatex tutorial
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf
at pag. 168-169 the author offers a few hint on how to implement a nice
feature to produce internal links among records within a bibliography:
[1] Audrey Author: Title of article. In: [2], pp. 134–165.
[2] Edward Editor, ed.: Title of collection. Publisher: Location, 1995.
Since I am not a (La)TeX programmer, I would like very much to hack the
complete code from somewhere/somebody.
I am using
\usepackage[style=numeric,hyperref=auto,defernums=true,annotation=true,library=true,sorting=nyt]{biblatex}
Thanks very much
regards
mario
Conversion of LyX to word - read-only - idea from other mailing list
Hi I just found that idea on how to deal with latex / pdf to doc conversion in read-only format. Quite an ingenius idea: -- Forwarded message -- From: Torsten Wagner Date: Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 1:48 AM Subject: Re: [Orgmode] any idea how to convert org file to MS WORD an retain text structure? To: Rainer Stengele Cc: emacs-orgm...@gnu.org SNIP Let me bring another way into discussion. Sometimes people ask for MS-Word files because they simply do not know it better and the use MS-Word as a kind of media-container format. They ask for MS-Word format but they will not process the document in any way. Simply print it as it is. This is often the case e.g., for conference proceedings where people asked me for a camera ready MS Word document. Already the phrase "camera-ready MS Word document" contains mutual exclusive words, taking into account what a mess could happen after opening up a MS Word file in a different version (both release and language version) of MS Office. What I did already several times and I never got any complain was the conversion of the generated PDF (from LaTeX) in a single image per page (preferable png, tiff or any other compression format with a non-loss in quality) I placed this "page-pictures" in a Word-file, exactly as it would be printed (I cropped the boarders with the MS-Word graphic tools. This could be very quickly and easily done for < 10 pages by hand. In the printed version of the proceeding, the conference organizers simply added a head- and footnote. I guess they simply opened up every MS Word file marked all content and copy and paste all of them in a MS-Word file with the preferable head- and footnote. As I said, I never got any negative feedback. Maybe the never noticed it at all or there thought it might be some bug, safety feature, different version problem, etc. Just a quick and dirty trick which saves much much time. ;) Greetings Torsten -- NEW GERMAN FAX NUMBER!!!
