Trying to combine articles into one file...

2013-12-21 Thread Kenward Vaughan 
Hello,

I'm planning to have my chemistry class create an in-house journal
as a way of reporting their lab experiment results.  

Using the article class with a title/author/abstract/etc. seems to work
well with that format, and I've successfully used psjoin and a book
script I found online to create a complete booklet postscript file for
printing.

The problem of course comes with the page numbering if I have more than
one report to piece together.  I have tried combining two example files
together, which looks fine in LyX but the second Title, Author, and
Abstract fail.  

The book class doesn't fit the scheme of having a separate title,
author, etc., per chapter.

Is there any way to accomplish this easily?  I appreciate any thoughts
people may have!

There is no LyX layout for this class AFAIK, but it should be fairly trivial 
to set one up from a copy of article.layout.

That looks great!  Thank you, Jürgen.

Can't say I'll get a layout made for it, but hopefully I'll be able to
figure out how to use it within LyX.

Spellchecker

2013-12-21 Thread William Hanson 
I'm trying to run the spellchecker on a document of about 23,000 words.  It
stops about halfway through, says it has reached the end of the document,
and asks me if I want to start over from the beginning.  I've tried
creating a new, shorter document consisting of the last half of my
original, but I get the same message when I try to run the spellchecker
starting at the beginning of it.  Any suggestions?

What version of LyX?
