Apologies sent the wrong file in last email.......

[Charlie]

Apologies. I was in a bit of a rush and sent the wrong file in the last
email.

It gives me an opportunity to add something at any rate.

Hoping someone can help me with this.

Using Debian Jessie [testing]

Lyx Version 2.0.6

I have attached my a text copy of my DIN.Ico file.

Can someone please tell me what I have to change to have the text on my
first page actually write down closer to the bottom of the page?

At the moment the text ends about 75mm from the bottom of the page and
then starts a new page.

 Also, to get my page number on the second page lower to the bottom of
 the page, at the moment it is about 50mm from the bottom. I think this
 has something to do with the same setting that would fix the above.

Nothing that I so in: Document settings>Margins
makes any difference. 

TIA

Be well,
Charlie

6 DIN.lco file:

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/DIN.lco





Read section 4.2 Pseudo-Lengths (page 135). With my words:
All these pseudo-lengths have a default value. If you want to change 
this default value and make it completly different you use \@setplength. 
If you want to slightly modify it, you use \@addtoplength.

\@setplength{sigindent}{0mm}
will place the box containing the signature on the left side but this is 
already defined in the DIN.lco

It's probably worthwhile to make your own version of the DIN.lco that 
you are using. Copy it under a new name (myDIN.lco f.ex.) in the 
directory where you have your lyx letters and modify it as you wish:

Instead of using
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
after calling the original DIN.lco where this plength is set, you can 
replace inside your new lco the
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{8mm}
by
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{18mm}


Don't forget to call your lco file in the preamble:

\LoadLetterOption{myDIN}%



To place the signature inside the closing box on the left you have to 
change in your lco file
  \let\raggedsignature=\centering
to
\let\raggedsignature=\raggedright

Ctrl-Enter handling is different whether AMS math is used explicitly or automatically

[Wil]

Something I recently ran across confused the heck out of me until I looked
into it and figured out what was going on.  I'm hoping that this message
will help others resolve similar confusion.

I've been using LyX since at least the 1.6 days, and in all that time,
Ctrl-Enter in math mode changed the equation I was editing into an
"eqnarray" with a 2x3 shape.  Recently, Ctrl-Enter started giving me a 2x2
"align" instead.

The difference turns out to be whether or not the "amsmath" package is
enabled explicitly or automatically in the Math Options section of the
Document Settings.  If it's set to trigger automatically, then it seems
that regardless of whether or not it gets enabled, the "eqnarray" is used.

Since I never needed to explicitly enable amsmath until I started working
with parent/child documents, I never noticed this behavior until now.

The behavior makes sense to me after I thought about it for a minute, but
it was surprising nonetheless.  I've seen this behavior in versions 2.0.3,
2.0.6, and 2.1.0 in (debian) Linux; and 2.0.3 and 2.1.0 in Mac OS X (where
the keystroke is Command-Enter.)

SteveT,

  LyX should do this. I suspect the OP has a flawed installation. When I get
an unanticipated issue with an application that I just upgraded I re-build
and re-install it. Almost always that fixes the problem.

Hi Rich,

I recognize and applaud the diagnostic purpose of your question, and
it's an excellent piece of information to have.

That being said, I always thought LyX was supposed to convert even my
LyX 1.4.x files to modern format. In other words, I hope no developers
ever becomes complacent with LyX only converting formats from the last
couple years.

Thanks,

SteveT

Hugh,

  From what minor version of 2.0.n? I have documents from 2.0.5 through
2.0.7 that opened in 2.1.0.
