Distribute the title (frontmatter) over several lines separated with line space?
Hi, I am a new user with LyX, have previousely been using Scientific Workplace (SWP). I am using LyX 1.63 for Windows with the standard report template. In the frontmatter dialog in Scientific Workplace I normally use to paste a graphic/icon topmost and divide the title on lines with several spaces between them. Now I am trying to do the same with LyX without the same luck. How can I distribute the title (frontmatter) over two or more lines with line spaces between them? and how can I place a picture topmost in the title? is that possible as it is with SWP? Where can I read more about customizing the frontmatter? A second question: when I started using LyX I though the typeface was somewhat greyed out or foggy when I compiled the PDF file, and not that black and clear that I am used to from SWP. I realized that if I add the following in the LaTeX preamble this was improved significantly, but still slightly lighter than SWP. \usepackage{ifpdf} % part of the hyperref bundle \ifpdf % if pdflatex is used % set fonts for nicer pdf view \IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{} I am using pdflatex. Is there something I can do to make the typeface of the printout/pdf even more dark/clear? Best regards Bjørn Liene Gundersen Master student at Telemark University College, Norway.
Where to get an overview over possible key-binding commands which is not pre-defined?
Hi, I wish to get an overview over parameters to key-bindings to all functions in LyX, where can I find that? For instance, if I want to make a key-binding to "Insert figure float" I need to search up the key-binding "float-insert" and modify it to "float-insert figure" and give it a short cut. What if I want to make a short-cut for Insert Vertical Space? I tried to modify the key-binding "space-insert" to "space-insert vertical" but it didn't work for me, how to do that, how can I get an overview on how to do it in similar situations? Does it exist a map of possible key-bindings commands? Thanks and best regards Bjørn Liene Gundersen
No PDF preview in LyX: "Error converting to loadable format"
Hi, I allow myself to ask the lyx user list one more question before I become an expert :-) I am using LyX 1.6.4, the Complete Alternative Windows installation. When I insert PDF document in a figure float, LyX gives me the message "Error converting to loadable format". I have entered the Tools->Preferences dialog and the Converters pane, but no luck here. Is there a way to get around this problem or is it simply a bug? Best regards Bjørn Liene Gundersen
