Re: Same figure entered twice [FIXED]

Daniel, I discovered out how I entered the same figure twice: I had entered it last week when I wrote the document. This afternoon I decided to add more to the document and, not seeing the figure in the PDF because I focused on the end, I entered it again. Removing the second figure float solved the problem. As if I needed a reminder not to jump from one project directly into another project without taking a head-clearing break. Sigh.

Re: FW: Problems using Bibtex with lyx.
Yes Eberhard avery useful. Many of my colleagues have suggested it. I should
have done it years ago. I’m 75 now and am weary of learning new operating
systems. Ive used windows from the beginning. Something I’m familiar with and
works for me. So forgive me, my life left is too short for such considerations.
Many thanksMike

Re: FW: Problems using Bibtex with lyx.
Dear EberhardCould u be a little more respectful in your criticism and
observations. I had been using lyx 2.2 version successfully in my review
article. So the bibtex and referencing worked perfectly as wells as the
nomenclature listing. Furthermore my version of lyx is tolerant of spaces in
flienames etc. It is only the recent version that doesn’t accept spaces. I
am aware of errors in formatting references in the bibtex file which stops the
conversion. Now for some unknown reason the conversion to pdf file works but
doesn’t contain the reference list. What has happened to my Miktex without my
doing anything whatsoever? It turns out that Miktex gets up dated without the
user knowing and that’s what might happened. Many thanks for your comments and
observations. It is much appreciated. I will cary on with review article using
my prest version of lyx . There is not much to be done. Then I will reinstall
Miktex and download the most recent version of Lyx. I will keep you informed of
progress.

There are typing errors in the reference. Ruuning a spelling checker
would have probably picked the cause of the issue up, by the way.
There are leading spaces within {}.
Generally it looks untidy, if only for hyphenated titles, not something

And what is really irritating, not only is this not a MWE, but if you

item (ie reference in the BIB file) you would have seen this yourself.

Re: FW: Problems using Bibtex with lyx.
Mike, I am an elderly Gynecologist myself (and (have to) use Windows10 for the practice management software (of course in a VirtualBox window on a Mac)) :-)-O and I can tell you even my mother could switch from Windows to the Mac :-)-O. And, as a matter of fact, she did :-)-O I like to bleed on the edge so I update LyX the day I become aware of it for myself but have it on a package manager (called homebrew) on the boxes I "support". The only small issue is one needs to reinstall MacTeX once a year. I have a script for this which I run on all my own and supported machines. The script doesn't even install the full version of MacTeX, only the smaller BasicTeX after saving all packages installed and then pulling the additional ones afterwards saving a few Gigs (even though disk space is cheap these days). Once a month one runs the TeX Live Manager from the command line or tlcockpit (a java app) and the updates are done. Totally painless. greetings, el On 16/06/2020 14:25, Mike Reeks wrote: > Yes Eberhard avery useful. > > Many of my colleagues have suggested it. I should have done it years > ago.

Re: FW: Problems using Bibtex with lyx.
You have a number of ligatures such as fl or ff being one character
instead of two and therefor I don't believe that this came about by
itself. When I fix (all of) these it compiles without error.
This is CLEARLY shown in the error messages produced by LyX(LaTeX).
There are typing errors in the reference. Ruuning a spelling checker
would have probably picked the cause of the issue up, by the way.
There are leading spaces within {}.
Generally it looks untidy, if only for hyphenated titles, not something
I would send out when asking for help.
BTW, not everybody is impressed by spaces in file names.
And what is really irritating, not only is this not a MWE, but if you
had bothered to construct one, by removing everything but the offending
item (ie reference in the BIB file) you would have seen this yourself.
