I have two columms in all works. Time to time, I get a premature page break
(column break) and a huge and ugly blank space and disbalanced columns in a
page.
One fewer line is not usefull, I need to get back some text from the next
column.
I want to have a global solution in the preamble for this problem.

Let me add that this:

> What is the meaning of tolerance and emergencystretch.
\tolerance is a penalty value that defines how much "badness" (in line
setting) TeX accepts without yielding an error (and retrying to set the
paragraph differently). The higher the value, the more interword space is
tolerated.
\emergencystretch defines how much interword stretching TeX allows if
necessary.
Details are explained here:

:-)
To me, Section 1.8 was written as an argument FOR use of \begin{sloppy}
\end{sloppy}. His #2 solution is to change your verbiage. All I can say
to that is that his priorities are very different from mine, and I
don't envy him if, after his tweaking, his editor suggests a change
before his tweak.
He then shows paragraphs with and without \sloppy. If I were reading
for information, and not as an artiste, I wouldn't notice the
difference.
I have no comments on his suggestions for the preamble code -- I might
try that myself.
Thanks

LyX Windows install gone bad - python path problems?
Hi
I am having problems with my install of LyX 2.0.3 on Win7 64 bit. I hadn't
used it for a few weeks, but when I tried to use it last week, I came up with a
number of configuration issues. One of the biggest problems relates to some
python commands not working. If I try to insert a bibliography, or get TeX
information from Tools -> TeX Information, I get errors from TeXFiles.py such as
below:
Running: python -tt "C:/Program Files (x86)/LyX

These seem to indicate (I'm no expert in Python by any means!) a problem running
the command fout = os.popen(cmd). It seems that somehow the path to the windows
"cmd.exe /c kpsewhich..." command seems to have a reference to the (totally
unrelated) path to the android-sdk tools I previously had installed on my
system. If I go to the python subdirectory of the LyX install, and run
python.exe, and attempt to duplicate a similar command manually, I get the
following similar error:
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on

WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified:
'C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe;C:\\Program Files(x86)
\\Android\\android-sdk\\platform-tools /c dir'
This also contains a reference to the android-sdk, but the question is where
does it get it from, and how can I get rid of it? I've tried uninstalling and
reinstalling LyX more than once (including an intermediate uninstall of the
android-sdk, as well as a registry search to remove any references to
android-sdk). I've swapped from MikTeX to TeX Live, installed using various LyX
installers, wiped any local profile data from MikTeX, LyX and any other folders
that seemed relevant, but still this issue comes up. I've checked the content of
all files in the LyX folder for references to android-sdk, and all preferences,
paths and system paths etc.
Can anyone help to put me out of my misery as to why I can't get this issue
resolved?
Thanks

I try to create a layout, so that it is possible to use the latex
package minutes.sty in lyx. But I have less experience. When adding the
latexcode into the Preamble it works. When I try to create new
environements in the layout file it doesent work.
I look forward for little help.
Here ist the layout file I created.
