"multimedia" works for me very well.
You need to include
\usepackage{multimedia}
in the Preamble and then some centered ERT will do nicely
\movie[width=10cm, height=7cm, showcontrols{%
\includegraphics[width=10cm, height=7cm]{%
powerpoint.png
}
}{powerpoint.mov}
Needs to be presented with Acrobat, and it will ask for some permission
stuff the first time, which you don't see in full screen, so you must
remember to escape full screen, give the permission and return to full
screen.
I didn't try AVI but MP4 does not work, so conversion to MOV is
required.
Once the learning curve has flattened, this is trivial and works well.

Re: table of contents font size
My data is wide. Maybe 100 characters in a fixed field format. it's lab data, which I use a python script to bring into a .lyx doc. My script automatically formats with lyxcode and breaks up the data into sections, then make a .pdf with TOC. Since almost everyone has 8.5x11 printers, I use that size for the paper. I have to make all the text footnote size with typewriter font to get everything to align and look pleasing to the reader. I'm going to try what you mentioned. Thank you for the suggestion.

I do that because my document is very wide and so I reduce the size of the text so that it will fit on 8.5 x 11. Phil, I'm curious about the above. Why is your document very wide? Can you change the page layout to landscape (11 x 8.5)? Many of my documents use a custom page size of 6 x 9.5 with default 10pt body text fontsize. When printed on letter-size paper there are large margins for ease of reading or writing notes. Perhaps changing your default page size and orientation will allow you to use a readable fontsize, especially for eyeballs with more than 40 years wear on them. Regards, Rich

You need to use a package like tocloft

I was able to figure it out.
I didn't realize that the TOC used the font that is used the body of the
document.
I have all my sections in footnotesize. I do that because my document
is very wide and so I reduce the size of the text so that it will fit on
8.5 x 11.
The problem is that the TOC is too small to read.
So I just had to increase the font size for all my section titles.

Branches and description environment
I am trying to have items in the description environment that only appear in
one branch, If I select those items and then select insert branch, everything
inside the branch becomes one be item without a description. View source shows:
\begin{description}
\item [{item}] explanation
\item [{branch\_only\_item explanation}]~\end{description}
If I set the environment inside the branch to be description, it ends up trying
to nest the branch items into one item in the outer list. This gives a latex
error when I try to generate the pdf. View source shows:
\begin{description}
\item [{item}] explanation
\item [{\begin{description}
\item [{branch\_only\_item}] explanation\end{description}

thesaurus for lytex
Hi fellow Lyxer's: I just installed portable LyTeX 2.0a and I'm pretty happy with it for my portable version. I have been using LyX for awhile now and I was happy to see a portable version out there in the 2.0 series. The thesaurus though I can not get to work. I guess that I have to install one. Could someone recommend a thesaurus to install? I'm on Windows 7, 32bit with LyTeX-2.0a version. Thanks, Phil

Zooming of graphics
When you zoom in and out by adjusting the zoom setting in "Tools"->"Preferences"->"Look & Feel"->"Screen Fonts" or use ctrl+mouse wheel, the on-screen text changes size but not the graphics previews. Is there a way to zoom in and out the graphics as well?

Absolute paths definitely breaks one of my usage scenarios which is collaboration via SVN. Embedding is annoying if you want to edit the bitmap separately and it makes the svg very big. Why does lyx copy the SVG file to a temporary directory before doing the conversion? Phil
SVG files with linked bitmap
I'm not sure if this is a problem with Lyx, Inkscape, or their interaction. I created a SVG file in Inkscape with a linked bitmap image in it. The SVG file and image are in the same directory as my Lyx file. I made sure the reference to the bitmap in the SVG does not have any path part in it by right clicking on the image and selecting "Image properties". This image is placed in a figure float in my Lyx file. If I move all the files (Lyx, SVG, and PNG) to another directory or computer, the SVG file opens and displays correctly in Inkscape and Firefox, but in Lyx and in the generated PDF it shows linked bitmap not found instead of the bitmap image. Lyx is configured to use Inkscape as the conversion program for SVG to PDF and SVG to PNG. The problem occurs on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu. What is Lyx doing differently when it calls Inkscape to convert the file than when I open the image in Inkscape? Phil

Re: Page headings in Book Style
I'm afraid that using AMS BOOK is not a good solution for me, you see the Thesis is complete and I'm trying to resolve this minor formatting problem, changing to AMS book introduces more massive alterations than I really want to cope with at this point.

Page headings in Book Style
I'm having a slight problem with the labelling of a chapter in my thesis. I have a chapter which I do not want to exist as a numbered chapter, so I have used the chapter* environment to generate it. However, the second page of the chapter, still carries the title of the previous chapter. I have included a file containing a very simple example of this. Is this expected behaviour? Am I trying to do something wrong to expect the second chapter to label its pages as belonging to it rather than the previous chapter?

Re: Installing Problems
Try altering the graphics resolution, your desktop machine has probably got a higher bit depth than your laptop, and qt tends to core dump under what has been termed `colour starvation'. BTW using higher than 8-bit depth solved this problem for me!

Re: Update Postscript via keyboard
I use Alt-f u (to update) or Alt-f w (to create it from scratch) It seems to be bind file non-specific. Phil On Tue, 1 Aug 2000, J. P. Blevins wrote: > Is there is a simple key binding in emacs (or any other mode) that will > invoke Update Postscript? > > Thanks, > > -Jim >
Re: Key binding
Sorry, it looks like with a bit more digging I have solved it myself: FYI \bind "C-z x" "tex-mode" This solves my key-binding problem. Phil
Key binding
I apologise in advance for such dumb questions :) I am using the xemacs key binding (which I have recently discovered after using the emacs one). What I would like to do is bind a key combo to exactly the action that the "Red" TeX button on the menu does. However, I have tried the key binding: \bind "C-z t" "layout LaTeX" And of course this makes the whole paragraph TeX-Red, not just the highlighted region. So, I have tried almost all combinations of upper and lowercase "latex" in the following, but to no avail. \bind "C-z t" "font LaTeX" (including "font-latex") Please would someone put me out of my misery! And while I'm at it. I'm using the acronym package, and it seems to be lacking the functionality that pluralises acronyms, how do I find out which package version is installed on my machine. (I'm using ver 1.1.5 prior to any fixing (rpm)) Thanks Phil - Phil Scordis Room 2.19, School of Biological Sciences, Stopford Building University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT -
Bibliograpy Citations
I have a bibligraphy (bibtex) and I would like each \cite to look like the following (Scordis, 1999), (Scordis and Scordis, 1999) or (Scordis et al., 1999). Does anyone know of a way of doing this? I cant seem to find this functionality in the cite or drftcite packages, the latter allows the label to be inserted in the text instead of the number, but the label can't contain spaces so I cant use "Scordis, 1999" as the label. Any ideas? Thanks Phil - Phil Scordis Room 2.19, School of Biological Sciences, Stopford Building University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT -
Re: Q: how can I stop lyx form compiling

Sorry, I don't know how to stop it, but I did find recently that I was doing lots of emacs-like keypresses in lyx which generally did not have the effect that I desired, e.g. ctrl-e to move to the end of the line, which 'emphasises' the text, and ctrl-x-s to save, which cuts and then saves! The solution: stop doing emacs keypresses, or add this to my lyxrc file \bind_file emacs Oh the joy of emacs key bindings in lyx! Phil

Re: Bibtex in Lyx and/or Klyx
I think I discovered the REAL source of my lyx/bibtex problem. After experimenting with sections of the document to identify which elements were causing the problem, I thought I had discovered the source of the error. It appeared that a very much shortened document with fewer incorrect cites (i.e. ones not yet in my bibtex file) would not produce the buffer overflow error. So I reasoned that the fewer miss-cites I made the better. However, after re-writing all of the cites into the original document the buffer overflow returned. Inspection of the .aux file indicated a number of figure captions that seemed to be quite lengthy, and sure enough commenting out these figures in lyx solved the problem. So it seems there is a strange relationship between the length of figure captions and bibtex processing? Incidentally, in lyx, placing a carriage return in the caption also solved the problem, which gives me the impression that it is a lyx bug?
