Anyone managed to get this working with 1.3.6-1 for Windows I have followed the install instruction and also the instructions for activation from within Lyx which are provided on the wiki and I keep getting an error saying Cannot convert file Error while executing tex2lyx.cmd filename.tex filename.lyx Any ideas?

Re: figure* in LyX?
If you right click the float box a load of options appear - one of which is Span Columns. Check this box and all should be ok. BTW in many cases the float will appear on the page following its position so if you want it to span two columns on page 2 make sure you place it somewhere on page 1.

1.3.6 for Win

Toolbar in 1.3.6
Hi Yes another question, sorry. I have been using 1.3.5 for sometime and have become very use to the toolbar that I am using. It is a corruption of the 'Alternative Toolbar' provided here http://www.semverteilung.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/mitarbeiter/es/software/ToolbarES.htm However when I use it with 1.3.6 some f the icons are not recognised and become ? and another is just totally different. I have attached the .ui file. Does any one know why this is happening? Ultimately it doesn't matter for me because I know where all the buttons are and what they do so don't need icons per se but I am trying to encourage others to use Lyx and so it would be helpful if my version looked complete.

In that case, you will able to ship it with the installer I guess, with the lyxrc.defaults tuned to use it. If that really is the case then that would be fantastic as it is clearly superior to relyx. If you find it works can you let me know how to do it to save me downloading all the extra stuff, was literally about to do the tex2lyx addition so will wait a while to hear if I need to do the full thing.

Instant preview in 1.3.6 win
Hi So far so good with the 1.3.6 install. Only I can't get instant preview to work. I have selected Instant Preview in Preferences and also have a full version of Python 2.4 installed. Anyone got Instant Preview to work on a Win system and know how to do it? Geoff
SOLVED -Instant preview
Ok it seems that on (my) WinXP box as well as Python you also need a set of Python extensions which can be found here. There are files to cover the latest Python releases. https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018package_id=79063release_id=319716 Perhaps something should be added to state this additional step for Win Machines. It may be that it only affects Instant Preview but I don't know anything about Python or how it is used by Lyx. Geoff
Strange menu behaviour on resize
Hi A strange thing happens whenever I minimise my Lyx window to the tool bar in Windows. When I bring it back up (regardless of whether it is full screen or user defined size) only the first 4 menu options are available (FIle, Edit, Insert, Layout).

I am going to use tex2lyx and so won't need to install Perl if it is not used by any other part of the Lyx package. If anyone knows the answer I would be most appreciative. Geoff
Toolbar in 1.3.6
Hi Yes another question, sorry. I have been using 1.3.5 for sometime and have become very use to the toolbar that I am using. It is a corruption of the 'Alternative Toolbar' provided here http://www.semverteilung.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/mitarbeiter/es/software/ToolbarES.htm However when I use it with 1.3.6 some f the icons are not recognised and become ? and another is just totally different. I have attached the .ui file. Does any one know why this is happening? Ultimately it doesn't matter for me because I know where all the buttons are and what they do so don't need icons per se but I am trying to encourage others to use Lyx and so it would be helpful if my version looked complete.

Instant preview in 1.3.6 win
Hi So far so good with the 1.3.6 install. Only I can't get instant preview to work. I have selected Instant Preview in Preferences and also have a full version of Python 2.4 installed. Anyone got Instant Preview to work on a Win system and know how to do it? Geoff
SOLVED -Instant preview
Ok it seems that on (my) WinXP box as well as Python you also need a set of Python extensions which can be found here. There are files to cover the latest Python releases. https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018package_id=79063release_id=319716 Perhaps something should be added to state this additional step for Win Machines. It may be that it only affects Instant Preview but I don't know anything about Python or how it is used by Lyx. Geoff
Strange menu behaviour on resize
Hi A strange thing happens whenever I minimise my Lyx window to the tool bar in Windows. When I bring it back up (regardless of whether it is full screen or user defined size) only the first 4 menu options are available (FIle, Edit, Insert, Layout). When I run the mouse of the vacant space the other menu items appear. Very odd, wondered whether anyone else had this problem and although minor whether it is a bug worth reporting. Geoff

In summary put \usepackage{lettrine} in the preamble. And then use \lettrine{X}{text} in your document. X refers to the hanging letter and the text will be in small caps.

Re: Ongoing problems with 1.3.6pre on windows
LyX doesn't know anything about LaTeX .cls files. You need to make the beamer.layout file available to LyX by copying it to ${USER_LYX_DIR}/layouts/beamer.layout and reconfiguring LyX. USER_LYX_DIR is presumably C:\Documents and Settings\Samar\Application Data\lyx or something similar. On my linux machine (runs teTeX), this file is to be found at /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/lyx/layouts/beamer.layout It'll be somewhere equivalent under MiKTeX. If not, you can grab it from the latex-beamer.sf.net viewcvs tree: Out of curiosity really, but if lyx knows where miktex or equivalent is why doesn't it find these layout ifles automatically - or is this particular to beamer.

Lyx 1.3.6pre with 1.3.5
Hi I have been happily using 1.3.5 and more recently 1.3.6pre with no major problems. However I did notice some strange behaviour when installing 1.3.6pre. After install I have 4 lyx icons on my desktop, the original one for 1.3.5 and 3 new ones, which also point to 1.3.5. I don't get a single one for 1.3.6pre. This must be happening because I have 1.3.5 installed too but it is very odd. I can;t afford to remove 1.3.5 as I am writing a thesis and I can be sure it is stable. Just thought I should share this odd behaviour. Geoff

multiple cross references using hyperref
Hi I have several instances where I write 'refering to equations 1.x and 1.y'. I am now using the \autoref part of hyperref and it prioduces nice out put but with multiple references like above I get 'refering to equation 1.x and equation 1.y' It is possible using this package to get the first output using \autoref. It would look and read much better. Geoff
MOre hyperref problems.....
This time it is not stylistic but some sort of glitch. I have a bibliography in my toc has always been there - ie I havent added it as a toc line or anything. Anyway it is page 63. If I click the hyperref in the toc it goes to page 62, the same is true if I select the bookmark in the pdf. I have no idea how to get this to go to the correct place - in fact I am sure it was working properly at one point. Any help much appreciated. Geoff

more hyperref
Many thanks for all the useful comments yesterday about the hyperref package. I now have it working. However it only links the number such that figure 1 has a link for the 1 not the whole 'figure 1'. Is there any way to link the whole thing? Also the backref links from the bibliography only appear as a number of the page. I have read that the old backrefx package used to write (Cited on #). I can't seem to implement this even though it is apparently built into the new hyperref package. Any ideas at all? Geoff

If you use article and put the Danish... as the author then yes you will get the abbreviation. You could try using book and then putting The Danish... as publisher. Have a play with the various types - it is very easy in JabRef. As for the capitals, I think, certainly on my machine, that the titles should be as typed so ensure you are putting them into JabRef with the correct capital/non setup. I have attached a pdf which shows my bibliography - Ref [37] is a book with capitals in the title (VUV) and ref [35] is also a book showing where if you had The Danish rather than Cambridge... you could sort that problem. Hope all this is clear.
Re: Problems with .ps and .dvi output when .eps is embedded
I have not been following this thread but have just read the background stuff. I then downloaded the file which seems to actually be a .ps rather than .eps file but no matter. Using ghostscript to convert to .eps I reproduce the same problems experienced. But if I open the eps in Adibe Illustrator and then resave it the problems disappear. Clearly somewhere the eps has got messed up. I am not sure who needs the correct file but I have an eps of the original that works in lyx with dvi and postscript output.

The first time I sent it, I got a bounce message because I had attached a zip archive.] Actually, I think it's a single page with 25 layers. When I embed the original graphic in a LyX doc and display the DVI, it looks smudged, which I think is due to the layers being slightly offset from each other. I opened the graphic in Paint Shop Pro and isolated the first layer. It's not smudged, but it's faint and not very sharp. Apparently either IODE or GnuPlot did something peculiar. I can't tell what the differences among the layers are, but no layer by itself is a legible, complete image. The legend at the top center of the image appears in layers 1, 3, 9, 11, 17, 19 and 25 but not the others. According to PSP, layers 2, 10 and 18 don't exist (or at least PSP opens the others in separate windows but doesn't find those). At any rate, the problem here is neither with LyX nor with LaTeX; the image is munged. -- Paul Johan Ingvast wrote: I have not followed this thread, but took a look at the ps file anyway and I noted it contained 25 pages.

I am using NatBib with author-year citation.

But since I do now have experience with these style I am having difficulties choosing which is right for me. Can anyone point me to a place that can give me an overview of (the differences between) the styles - and help me choosing which is right for me? I guess I simply need something apalike.
