Re: Beamer slides without side number and not count by the number of page side

[Paul A . Rubin]

To display the slide without a visible number, you can use the BeginPlainFrame
environment (which will suppress the head and foot lines).

To prevent the slide from being counted, add (on the example slide) a TeX box
(ERT) containing \addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}.

   I have Herbert's book, "Typesetting tables with LaTeX," and cannot find a

longer than text in other cells of that column and I'd like to have it wrap
so the table is narrower but longer (only 18 lines without wrapping).

   Does setting a fixed cell width control this?


Yes, this a prerequisite. More about these things is described in sec. 2.8 "Multiple Lines, Columns

Where did you read this? One should only not set a special alignment if you use rubber length 
(a.k.a. HFills) between consecutive tables.

p.s. Almost all about tables is described in chapter 2 of the EmbeddedObjects

Not in all cases but in case of tables I think yes, it is.
Note also that you cannot hyphenate the first word in a table cell without the trick that is 
described in sec. 2.8.1 "Multiple Lines in Table Cells" of the EmbeddedObjects manual.

Hi,

I just reported it on the tracker, but although it's not mentioned in
the release notes, this version fixes bug 8135 for me. So it's even
better that expected :-)

Many thanks to the devs for the good work, and best regards!

I also experienced the scrolling problem (Windows Vista) and you're 
right, it is no longer there in LyX 2.0.5.

After playing around and reading many blog entries I tested the same situation
with having the cell text justified. Now hyphenation works.

Looks like I overlooked something with the hyphenation in left and right
alligned paragraphs. It seems that this is the default behaviour in Tex to only
hyphenate justified paragraphs.

Therefore I experimented with the package ragged2e as mentioned here:


But so far it does not give the expected result. Everything appears to be
formatted the same way.

Thanks for the help.
 
 

Table Alignment on Page

[Rich Shepard]

  I've made it a practice to set paragraph alignment to center for tables
and figures. Reading the Wiki to learn where setting table column width is
to be found I read that tables should be left-aligned. Why is this, and does
it make a visible difference on the page from being centered?

Just curious,

Matthias,

  I thought this would be the case; it was at the end of a long day so I
didnot experiment before asking for confirmation.


Here you can find additional infos if you want to define the column width
relative to the page width:


One additional hint: Since the columns of the table have margins, the total
width of the table is not equal to the sum of the fixed column widths. I found
out that a table with one column and a fixed column width of "100% text width"
has not the same width as a table with ten columns and a fixed column width of
"10% text width".


  All very good to know.

Thanks!

Export LaTeX from LyX and compare with the file that works. It is 
probably something about the order in which the packages (commands) are 
called.


Ok, the order of the packages is wrong. You can not use the modules 
"endnotes", "footnote to endnote", but you have to insert in the 
preamble the following commands.


\usepackage{endnotes}
\usepackage{hyperendnotes}
\let\footnote=\endnote


Then everything works as expected.

Thanks to all for the great help

Yes, setting a fixed column width in Lyx should do the trick.

Here you can find additional infos if you want to define the column width
relative to the page width:


One additional hint: Since the columns of the table have margins, the total
width of the table is not equal to the sum of the fixed column widths. I found
out that a table with one column and a fixed column width of "100% text width"
has not the same width as a table with ten columns and a fixed column width of
"10% text width".

I don't know what the size of this margin actually is and where to set it and if
my experience is correct.

Hope that helps.
