Very new user posting first question!
How can I change a Environment?
Usually, with ERT.
For example:
- I want to change the font type used in Standard Environment
You probably meant here changing the font for the whole document.
Changing the font size can be done in the document dialog.
Changing the font to a sans serif font can be done by putting
\renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}
in the preamble (open the preamble dialog using the layout-latex preamble
menu).
- After pressing RETURN at the end of a Standard, I do not want the
Santard below to be idented
Open the document dialog, and change separation from Indent to Skip.
- I do not want the font of the Paragraph to be bold
Put the following lines in the preamble:
\usepackage{sectsty}
\paragraphfont{\normalfont}
- After pressing RETURN at the end of a Paragraph, I want the next to
be a Paragraph, not a Standard
I don't understand what you meant here.

Thanks for your help.
\renewcommand\figurename{Figure} in tex before the change.
Although, this works, the correct thing to do is to change the language
of text in the chapter to English using the character dialog.
Then, all strings like Figure and Table will appear in English.
If i do this i get an error about missing } in float figure.
Can you send a small (minimal) example file ?

Firstly, is there a way to make text appear in a different font, eg emphasised or typewriter styles in LyX just end up as normal text in ps/pdf or docbook-html output. Probably a missing translation of these attributes. The best thing to do if you want this fixed in the next version is to hunt the DocBook commands to do what is needed and to post them for whatever feature we are missing from DocBook. We also need to disable in dialogs features that are not available when using linuxdoc/docbook. For example, in docbook all the scaling options in the graphics dialog should be disabled.

LaTeX does not do that, so LyX can't either. Latex does break long inline formulae, but you probably meant that display formulae are not broken. You are on your own here. Lyx does support the eqnarray environment for typesetting long formulae. See the user guide.

AMS package provide several commands to do so. As usual, http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/mathstuff/equations/node10.html to understand how it works... But this requires using ERT. Lyx supports the eqnarray environment, so it should be used for breaking the equation (to use it press ctrl+enter in a display formula). PS: 1.2.0 also supports the AMS align environment.
Re: Changing font size in Tables
I'm using lyx 1.1.6fix3 and I'm trying to change the font size of a table. Is it possible to do it all at the same time ? I mean selecting the all table and changing character size doesn't work, is there another way of doing it ? It does work (assuming you do the selection from outside the table). You won't see anything on screen, but it will be OK in the DVI output.
Re: Changing font size in Tables
Not officially. However, there's a hack I made, not so nice but better
than by doing it by hand: before the table type
{\scriptsize
and mark it as red TeX. After the table, type
}
There is no need to use ERT, as I explained in my previous mail.
Re: What are all the percent signs in LaTeX code?
\newcommand\myExample[1]{
\begin{example}\begin{list}{}{%
\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}% symmetric
What are the percent signs for?
For ignoring the newlines and indentation spaces.
Also, what is the #1?
It is used to denote the argument of the macro.
For example,
\newcommand{\foo}[1]{The argument is #1}
defines a command \foo with one arguemnt.
\foo{123} will generate 'The argument is 123' in the output.

Any ideas on how to do this? give the cell first a fix columnwidth. No, this will not work (the text will be added outside the table).

If you need an arrow over a _single_ character, use
\stackrel space \Rightarrow down X
where X is the character.
You can define a math macro for faster typing.
If you need the arrow over several chars, then use the attached
fill.sty package (put \usepackage{fill} in the preamble),
and use \overbrack{xy} in the formula
(you only need to write \overbrack{xy as lyx automatically adds the
closing } )

As a matter of fact, if I take all pictures from my file , and do export to PDF then it works. Is this problem with LyX? Since I don't have this problem with KLyX. The config files of klyx might be interfering with the config files of lyx. Remove the ~/.lyx directory, and then run lyx. If this doesn't work, then send the lyxrc.defaults file here.

BTW: Perhaps having two column without rotating the pages is a better option.
For this, you only need to put \twocolumn before the text.
Re: lyx doesn't update view-ps when included figure changed on disk.

Lyx doesn't update the postscript correctly when the figures have been changed but the lyx file is not. In this case, I have to change the file before update postscript. Is it possible to make lyx behave like make so it automatically update the postscript with the file dependencies? It already does that. Upgrading to 1.1.6fix3 should solve your problem.

There are hundreds of occurrences of these, so I don't want to use

No. This is one of the main missing features of LyX, but there are plans to
add it soon.
In the meantime, you can use the following hack:
Use colors for character styles, and put \usepackage{mystyles} in the preamble
(you can put it in the layout file), where mystyles.sty is something like
\usepackage{ifthen}
\renewcommand{\textcolor}[2]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{red}}{\textit{#2}}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{green}}{\textbf{#2}}{}%

However, it is probably much better to do what you want in LyX.
For example, you can use the Lyx-Code environment. See the attached
example.lyx.
Note that I don't understand why you need to have a fixed-width font.
You can get the wanted alignment using a tabular.

PS: There is no need to work with .ps.gz files. You can convert image files

The only problem is with old Postscript printers that don't support level 2.

The package multicol can do this. In the preamble put

I'm writing my thesis with the thesis.cls style and bibtex. I noticed when I
previewed my document with xdvi, that some references go past the right
margin of my page. They are not being hyphenated or parts of of them not
moved to the next line to fit correctly within the margins. This also
happens with hyphenated words located close to the end of the line, for
example: physically-based. Is there a way to fix this in LyX?
From the latex faq:
* TeX won't hyphenate a word that's already been hyphenated. For example, the
(caricature) English surname Smyth-Postlethwaite wouldn't hyphenate, which
could be troublesome. This is correct English typesetting style (it may not
be correct for other languages), but if needs must, you can replace the
hyphen in the name with a \hyph command, defined
def\hyph{\penalty0\hskip0pt\relax}
This is not the sort of thing this FAQ would ordinarily recommend... The
hyphenat package defines a bundle of such commands (for introducing
hyphenation points at various punctuation characters).
* The hyphenation may simply not have been spotted; while TeX's algorithm is
good, it's not infallible, and it does miss perfectly good hyphenations in
some languages. When this happens, you need to give TeX explicit
instructions on how to hyphenate.
The \hyphenation command allows you to give explicit instructions. Provided
that the word will hyphenate at all (that is, it is not prevented from
hyphenating by any of the other restrictions above), the command will
override anything the hyphenation patterns might dictate. The command takes
one or more hyphenated words as argument - \hyphenation{ana-lysis pot-able};
note that (as here, for analysis) you can use the command to overrule TeX's
choice of hyphenation (ana-lysis is the British etymological hyphenation;
some feel the American hyphenation feels 'unfortunate'...).

Why do you generate two files ?
When I tried using the pslatex output of gnuplot, I got only one .tex file
which embed the Postscript file into it.
There is no problem with such a file.
I have tried with the standard 'pslatex' terminal, but with some huge
graphs latex goes out of memory. I don't know the reason, but using the
'auxfile' option (getting so the PS code in a separate file) fixes this
problem.
So you need to edit the .tex file, replacing the \special line by either:
1)
\special{psfile=full path/figure.ps llx=0 lly=0 urx=720 ury=504 rwi=7200}
where full path is the full path to the ps file: /home/myusername/...
2) Only if use_tempdir = false:
\special{psfile=relative path/figure.ps ...}
where relative path is the path from the main lyx file to the directory of
the ps file
3) This is probably the best solution (if it works):
\includegraphics{figure.ps}
Of course, if you need to generate many graphs from guplot, you should write
a script that fix the output of gnuplot.

You can modify by changing the itemsep.
How do you think it is correct I can change itemsep only in itemize
environment? I would like some global setting for this parameter.
However your information are useful too.
Put the following at the preamble:
\let\olditemize=\itemize
\def\itemize{\olditemize\setlength{\itemsep}{-0.5ex}}

Also, I'd like to know how I could put my abstract in a single wide column
like title etc when I have a two col layout?
1. Put the following lines in the preamble:
\let\oldmaketitle=\maketitle
\renewcommand{\maketitle}{}
2. Before the abstract, put the following line (in latex mode):
\twocolumn[\oldmaketitle\begin{@twocolumnfalse}
3. After the abstract, put the following line (in latex mode):

So far it's been left unsolved. I want, ultimately, to add new Type1 fonts to LyX and the first step is to add them to ghostscript and to have ghostscript recognize and use them. I've done the first step but cannot get ghostscript to use them. Let me explain. You don't need to make the fonts available to ghostscript. When using Postscript type 1 fonts in latex, dvips will embed the fonts into the Postscript file.

This, of course, is usually done by selecting the proper documentclass.
book e.g. starts every section on a new page, if I am not mistaken...
The correct way to do this (if it is not done by the documentclass) is to
add the following lines to the preamble:
\let\oldsection=\section
\renewcommand{\section}{\pagebreak\oldsection}
Re: installing a new paragraph style .. how to put them at the bottom of the style-bar?

It is quite annoying.
Can i fix that?
The order in the layouts list is determined by the order they appear in the
.layout file.
So you need your style file to be something like the following:
(assuming it is based on the article class)
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (OneColAbstract)}
Input article
Style OneColAbstract
...
However, if I recall correctly, using the onecolabstract environment from
abstract.sty will not give you a one column abstract.
You need to do the following (without using abstract.sty):
1. Put the following lines in the preamble:
\let\oldmaketitle=\maketitle
\renewcommand{\maketitle}{}
2. Before the abstract, put the following line (in latex mode):
\twocolumn[\oldmaketitle\begin{@twocolumnfalse}
3. After the abstract, put the following line (in latex mode):
\end{@twocolumnfalse}]

Use

I also have difficulties with the kluwer style which I downloaded from the

Anybody out there who could help?
You need to install kluwer10.sty

This is a path problem: you need to put ~/bin before /usr/bin in the path. However... Would you recommend 1.2.0 cvs, as I am writing my dissertation in LyX? No. But you can use 1.1.6fix3 if you change one line in the source. Furthermore, if you need multiple bibliographies only for your resume, you can export the file to latex and run bibtex+latex manually. Another option is to enter the bibliographies manually, using itemize list.
