Re: Removing period following section reference
Hi everyone, I think I resolved it. There was a component of my preamble that I've been using based on someone else's template, and it included a command that put periods after section numbers. Just to clarify RE the minimum working example: what I had put in my earlier email was something that could literally be copy/pasted into a lyx file, so I just assumed that would suffice. I can send an actual lyx file in the future even if it is just three lines of lyx commands though!
Re: Removing period following section reference
Hey Steve and everyone, Yes sorry, let me be more explicit. First, see the screenshot below -- this is what I get showing right now. [image: Inline image 1] Now, with that in mind, notice the two periods -- the problem is whenever I reference that appendix section, i.e. \ref{subsec:AAA}, it references A1.3 with a period at the end, rather than just A1.3 What I'd like to do is remove that period whenever referencing something from the Appendix -- or any section (even if not in the appendix) for that matter.
Removing period following section reference
Hey Lyx Community, I've spent some time searching online for a resolution to this, but haven't found much. The issue is as follows. Suppose I write a section in the appendix (insert appendix here) like: \section{data details} \label{sec:data} But then I refer to: Appendix Section \label{sec:data} It will show up as Appendix Section A1*.* Note that lyx places the period there automatically even if I do not put one. Does anyone know how to remove that?

Hey Steve, Can you elaborate a little more -- what would I want to change in the preamble?

Re: SIGSEGV error
Hey Scott, I actually don't have the file now since I overwrote it after fixing the problem, but I think you could replicate it by putting in a "bad" character and trying to paste it into lyx and then pdf it? I am not really sure what constitutes a bad character in lyx versus something that is okay in word.
Re: Lyx Tables/Figures and Section Question
Thanks Ricardo, and yes if anyone has any familiarity with putting tables/figures at different parts of a document, let me know. Right now, they kind of get meshed together and I want to separate the tables/figures for the manuscript out from those associated with the appendix of my paper. Thank you!
Lyx Tables/Figures and Section Question
Hey Lyx Community, I've got two simple questions for you all when you have time. First, how do you get tables and figures to give roman numerals, rather than numerics? Second, how do you make it so that when you're referencing a figure or table from the appendix ("\section*{Appendix}"), it actually shows something like "Appendix Figure II" -- so it is restarting the numbering once you get to the appendix. There's some useful material in the link below, but nothing that completely answered my question. https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Numbering#fig-by-sections Thank you for your time! -- Christos Makridis Ph.D. Candidate, Stanford University Department of Management Science & Engineering Department of Economics www.christosmakridis.com
Re: SIGSEGV error
Perfect, looking at the source pane helped diagnose the problem -- an imbalanced space from MS word -- great suggestion! I did not know that source pane even existed before. (I would have added more details, like an example, but I wasn't sure what could be causing it before. I am using the latest version of lyx on a windows machine FYI.) Thank you for teaching me this new trick!
SIGSEGV error
Hey everyone, I've googled around and there doesn't seem to be a consensus about the source of the problem -- some just suggest making sure the lyx is the latest version. I've attached the error as a screen shot. But, the problem seems to be rooted in some text that I copy/pasted from a word doc. The formatting was different, so I first pasted into another word doc with no special formatting, and then into lyx. But when I try to pdf the document, it crashes. (Before, it would crash when I highlighted the pasted in text.) It seems to be "normal" now that I took that part of the text out. Any ideas what is going wrong? -- Christos Makridis Ph.D. Candidate, Stanford University Department of Management Science & Engineering Department of Economics www.christosmakridis.com
Re: Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility
Hey everyone, I talked with my collaborator and acquired some more details. When she was installing lyx, it asked her to update miktex/install updates. She did that and after that was when tex was not working. So then she uninstalled lyx, but tex was still not working, so she uninstalled miktex and reinstalled it. So her beamer slides and some formats of latex are still not working on her windows desktop. My thought was just to reinstall everything and get all the packages up to date?
Re: Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility
Great question, will find out and follow up. (Thank you all for being so prompt and interested in figuring out the problem!)
Re: Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility
Hey Richard, I am pretty sure it is Windows, and it's the most recent version from miktex. I can ask her for the specifics though if you think it might help? -- Christos Makridis Ph.D. Candidate, Stanford University Department of Management Science & Engineering Department of Economics www.christosmakridis.com
Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility
Hey Lyx Community, One of my collaborators downloaded lyx, but for some reason it prevented her from compiling her latex files as she normally did. After she uninstalled lyx, there was still a problem with beamer, which would not compile. Specifically, it gave the following error: --- (C:/Users/filepathXX i_DEc2016_NBER.nav ! Undefined control sequence. l.1 \beamer@endinputifotherversion {3.33pt} ? --- Does anyone know why this happened, and if there's a way to avoid it? I googled the error and it looks like the problem arises from something on line 1 in the beamer file. But, even so, why was it not a problem before lyx was installed, and why is it a problem even after it is uninstalled? Thank you for your help! -- Christos Makridis Ph.D. Candidate, Stanford University Department of Management Science & Engineering Department of Economics www.christosmakridis.com
Re: Lyx PDF Error w/ Bib File
Hey Scott et al., Thank you for your patience -- and in fact that seemingly simple process led me to the discovery of the problem. Apparently the new version of lyx treated some technical errors in my bib file that were not creating or showing a problem before, but these errors are obviously still wrong. My bib file is ~560 pages, so I went through and discovered were they are -- and now it seems to work, great!

Re: Lyx PDF Error w/ Bib File
Hey Lyx Users, Thank you very much for the reply. I actually didn't receive a reply earlier and I checked my spam, so perhaps also copy my gmail ( christos.a.makri...@gmail.com) as well. I had tried taking out the comma from the citation that Scott mentioned from the earlier post, but it doesn't solve the problem. I repeated it again and am including the error message. Just to be clear, the bib file was working fine on the earlier lyx version -- it's just the most recent one creating the problem.

Fwd: Lyx PDF Error w/ Bib File
Hey Lyx Community, Think I sent my original email to the wrong community address. Thank you in advance! -- Forwarded message -- From: Christos Makridis <cmakr...@stanford.edu> Date: Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 9:47 AM Subject: Lyx PDF Error w/ Bib File To: lyx-users-h...@lists.lyx.org Hey Lyx Community, First time emailing the general list, so apologies if there's something I am overlooking. I am a PhD candidate at Stanford working in economics and a big fan of Lyx because of how easy it makes editing while still retaining the flexibility and beautiful typesetting inherent in Latex. The recent 2.2.2 version seems to produce a problem with my .bib file. In particular, when I PDF my document, it gives a series of errors (see below). [image: Inline image 1] I have spent quite a bit of time diagnosing the errors. First, I want to note in case it is not clear that these errors never arise in previous versions -- and I am still using 1.2.2 now because this newer version isn't working for me. Second, it appears that one of the problems is when the word "and" is in the citation; then double braces can partially remedy the problem. I am not sure about the first three errors that came up though. Just to give an example of one of my citations, see below. @article{JaimovichSiu:highskilled, title={{High-skilled immigration, STEM employment, and non-routine-biased technical change}}, author={Jaimovich, Nir, and Siu, Henry E.}, journal={NBER working paper}, year={2017}, volume={}, number={}, pages={}, } Does anyone know what the source of the problem is and/or a remedy?
