Disclaimer: I'm answering from memory (and I'm on a Linux box, so I can't check
my memory).
I'm pretty sure you are using Aspell as the spellchecker. Aspell records words
you've added in a dictionary that I believe is named 'personal.pws'. Depending
on whether Aspell is installed for all users or just one user, that could end up
being in any of several places. So my suggestion is to use Vista's file search
capability to look for files by that name (you may find more than one if you've
been adding words in the version of Aspell that LyX 2.0 installed). In fact, I
suggest that you start up LyX 2.0, create a dummy document, insert a word that
Aspell won't believe ("HonestPolitician", all one word, works on more than one
level) and add it when Aspell laughs at you. Now do the search.
The personal dictionaries are just text files, so once you find them (hopefully
there are now two, old and new), just open them both in Notepad, copy all the
good words over to the new one (it will be obvious which is which), delete your
pseudoword from the new one, save it and test to see if spell-checking in LyX
2.0 now recognizes words you added in 1.6.

Re: changing top margin for one page only
Are you doing something to ensure that the minipages are at the top of the physical page? The only two ways I know off-hand to do that are to manually break the page immediately before them or to put them in a float. From your message, it does not sound as though you are breaking the page. One kludge that should work (and involves no extra packages) is to insert custom spacing. Position the cursor immediately preceding (and just outside) the first minipage, click Insert > Formatting > Vertical Space..., set the spacing to Custom, and insert a negative value (using your preferred units). If the minipages are in a float, this goes inside the float. Paul
Re: # in URL cause compiling to hang
I just created a test doc (article class) in LyX 2.0, insert a URL (in a URL inset) containing a hash character (#), and it worked just fine in PDF output. Escaping it with a backslash caused problems. That said, if you replace the hash character with %23 in the URL, you get the same result, and that may avoid whatever caused the error message. Paul

The reason for this is that LyX by default uses the prefix "sub" for
such references, as you create them, but neither prettyref nor refstyle
defines a format for this. I'm not sure if that counts as a bug or not.
Anyway, you can deal with it two ways.
(i) Put a format declaration for "sub" references into your preamble.
How you do this depends upon whether you are using refstyle or
prettyref. (This is set under Document>Settings.) For prettyref, you can
do something like:
\newrefformat{sub}{Subsection \ref{#1}}
For refstyle:
\newref{sub}{refcmd={Subsection \ref{#1}}}
Of course, you can adapt these as you wish.
(ii) Modify what LyX uses for subsections. This is a matter of layout,
and can be done in a module, in local layout (under Document>Settings),
or wherever you wish:
Style Subsection
RefPrefix sec
End
The defaults are in the file stdrefprefix.inc. If you like, you can copy
the system file to your local layout directory (by default, on Linux,
~/.lyx/layouts/), modify it, and then LyX will use it instead of the
system one.

(And there have been a lot.) We strive to keep branch from having regressions, but of course they do sometimes pop up. In that case, though, they tend to be fixed very quickly (bisecting them is relatively easy), and of course you can always roll back to an earlier revision if need be. The other advantage, from our point of view, is that branch gets more testing this way. What I have done is checkout branch as above, then, from the appropriate directory: ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-build-type=rel make sudo make install (I know you know this, Steve. Others may not) The latter disables debug code and assertions. Then set up a simple cron job: svn up make which will keep the tree up to date. Then you re-install from time to time. Richard
formatted cross-reference to subsection broken
Hi, I am using Lyx-2.0 with KOMA-book class (pdflatex) on Mac OSX 10.6.8. I am often using the cross-reference option 'Formatted reference' as it is quite convenient to have automatic addition of 'figure', 'section' etc. Nevertheless I noticed (by accident) that in the Lyx window references appear to be fine but show up in the final pdf as '??'. This is the case for references within a 'subsection'. This is a little bit annoying as it can be overseen in a larger document easily. Is this a bug? Has anyone else this problem? Any comments?
