His solution is so good I'm putting it at the bottom of this email...

 Hi all,
 
 I'm trying to make a character style or command to put a registered
  trademark symbol smaller and up from the normal text line. This is ALMOST
  what I want:
 
 ==
 \documentclass[12pt]{article}
 \begin{document}
 Troubleshooters.Com%
 \raisebox{0.40\baselineskip}
 {\begin{footnotesize}\textregistered{}\end{footnotesize}}
 Bookstore
 \end{document}
 ==
 
 The only problem with the preceding is I've hardcoded a specific text size
  for the trademark symbol, namely footnotesize. What I REALLY want to do is
  have a way to define the trademark symbol's size as two sizes smaller than
  the current size. Anyone know how to do that?
 
 Extra credit would be if I could move the trademark symbol to the left
 slightly so that it would appear to hover over the upper right edge of the
 previous character, rather than coming after it.

Here's Richard's technique:

=
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{relsize}
\begin{document}
Troubleshooters.Com%
\raisebox{0.45\baselineskip}{\kern 
-0.2\baselineskip\relsize{-2}\textregistered{}\relsize{0}}
Bookstore
\end{document}
=

It uses the relsize package, whose \relsize{} command raises or lowers the 
current size by a relative amount. To move the trademark symbol closer to the 
m in .Com, it uses the \kern command. Note that in order to achieve relativity 
I used \baselineskip, when I really should have used something relative to 
character width, but I didn't know such a measurement offhand. I think there's 
something corresponding to the width of a W or something like that, and that's 
what I should have used.

Once I've tested it in different situations I'll turn it into a character 
style and post it. I think this should be fairly good for all superscripts 
following any lower case letter.

You're thinking of exes and ems, and you can use either, e.g.:

 Sounds like the configuration may be

Hosed?   I love those technical terms.
I thought of that not long after my last post.  No luck

 If that doesn't work, you might try deleting the local LyX
 subdirectory
 (probably C:\Documents and Settings\you\Application
 Data\lyx16, but your
 mileage may vary), backing up any modified layouts etc. you
 might have there,
 then reconfigure LyX.

Sounds interesting:  I'll give it a try.  

No luck.   I seem to be getting the same behaviour.

Then reinstall LyX. Its the quickest solution and works in most cases:

0. uninstall LyX 1.6.7 _completely_
1. uninstall also older versions of LyX (if installed)
2. if you are using MiKTeX 2.7 or older, reinstall it too and also 
_completely_

3. check the registry that there are no leftovers from LyX
4. log off then log on again
5. reinstall LyX using the alternative Windows installer:

Location of toolbar settings

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Hi,

Recently my LyX version has been upgraded to 1.6.7, thanks to the getdeb
repository (Ubuntu 10.04).

The update went fine, but I lost my toolbar settings in the process. It
did not take me very long to restore them, but I still would like to
know where they are stored, so that I can preserve them in future
upgrades.

TIA - regards,

A few things to try...
1. If you are using pdflatex in LyX, then save the files from Adobe as
pdf instead of eps. I think this will avoid the preview issue
altogether.
2. In Adobe use Print to PDF or Print to Postscript instead of Save  
As.

3. From the terminal, try eps2eps or ps2ps on your file. This may

Ah you're talking about the position of the toolbars. They are stored

Always compile the master document

[Yegor Yefremov]

Hello,

if I have master document with some child documents and I'm editing
the child and then invoke View-PDF(pdflatex) LyX tries to compile
only this child document and not the whole document beginning with
master. How can I change LyX behavior to always compile a whole
document regardless of what file is edited?

Regards.

I'll guess that you are opening the child directly, i.e., by itself. So LyX
doesn't know that it's a child and compiles it on its own.

Solution: Set the default master document under DocumentSettings.
Then, when you open the document, LyX will always also open the master
as well and identify the child as its child. Then compiling will compile the
whole thing.

Any suggestions on a good OpenSource registry cleaner?

I did a cleanup of the registry with CCleaner, after removing LyX. What I may 
not have done is kill off the user profile file at the same time. I know I 
deleted it on Paul Rubin's advice but I'm not sure that I went back and did it 
again before a re-install (using the normal installer not the LyxInstaller)  
Also I am not sure if I shutdown at that point or not. I know I had rebooted a 
couple of times but I am not clear at what exact point.

I'll get rid of MixTex too and try LyXWinInstaller after killing off the user 
profile.

Thanks

 I guess they should be in your user dir in the directory ui.

I had a look at the /usr/share/lyx/ui, but it looks like there are only

Ah you're talking about the position of the toolbars. They are stored
by Qt. This will be put in I think ~\.config\LyX\LyX*.conf.

I'm not sure how it is called exactly on Ubuntu.

Always compile the master document

[Yegor Yefremov]

Hello,

if I have master document with some child documents and I'm editing
the child and then invoke View-PDF(pdflatex) LyX tries to compile
only this child document and not the whole document beginning with
master. How can I change LyX behavior to always compile a whole
document regardless of what file is edited?

Regards.

I'll guess that you are opening the child directly, i.e., by itself. So LyX
doesn't know that it's a child and compiles it on its own.

Solution: Set the default master document under DocumentSettings.
Then, when you open the document, LyX will always also open the master
as well and identify the child as its child. Then compiling will compile the
whole thing.

Here's Richard's technique:

=
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{relsize}
\begin{document}
Troubleshooters.Com%
\raisebox{0.45\baselineskip}{\kern 
-0.2\baselineskip\relsize{-2}\textregistered{}\relsize{0}}
Bookstore
\end{document}
=

It uses the relsize package, whose \relsize{} command raises or lowers the 
current size by a relative amount. To move the trademark symbol closer to the 
m in .Com, it uses the \kern command. Note that in order to achieve relativity 
I used \baselineskip, when I really should have used something relative to 
character width, but I didn't know such a measurement offhand. I think there's 
something corresponding to the width of a W or something like that, and that's 
what I should have used.

Once I've tested it in different situations I'll turn it into a character 
style and post it. I think this should be fairly good for all superscripts 
following any lower case letter.

Location of toolbar settings

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Hi,

Recently my LyX version has been upgraded to 1.6.7, thanks to the getdeb
repository (Ubuntu 10.04).

The update went fine, but I lost my toolbar settings in the process. It
did not take me very long to restore them, but I still would like to
know where they are stored, so that I can preserve them in future
upgrades.

TIA - regards,

In the past, inserting graphics in eps format has worked beautifully

where the figure should be. Someone has scanned in some figures for
me, cleaned them up (using In Design, I think), and then saved them
as eps files. They say they have saved them without any preview
attached, but when I insert them and try to view the document, I get
the same error I always have gotten when there's a preview.

Any thoughts? Could there be some kind of preview still attached?

Bruce



A few things to try...
1. If you are using pdflatex in LyX, then save the files from Adobe as
pdf instead of eps. I think this will avoid the preview issue
altogether.
2. In Adobe use Print to PDF or Print to Postscript instead of Save  
As.

3. From the terminal, try eps2eps or ps2ps on your file. This may
strip the preview.

Whenever I insert a figure file in pdf format into LyX it takes up a  
full page, even though I have the options set at a minimal bounding  
area. No idea why.

I'll guess that you are opening the child directly, i.e., by itself. So LyX
doesn't know that it's a child and compiles it on its own.

Solution: Set the default master document under Document>Settings.
Then, when you open the document, LyX will always also open the master
as well and identify the child as its child. Then compiling will compile the
whole thing.
