All my LyX files seem to be externally modified
Dear Sirs, A while ago LyX (1.5.2) started to say that all my old files have been externally modified. The problem does not occur when I create new files, but every time I want to save a change in an old file, I have to click the overwrite button. As far as I know, I have not modified any LyX files externally, so I do not understand why I get the message. Since it is very irritating to have it this way I wonder if there is a way to turn this confirming question off. Yours sincerely, Albert Pettersson

Re: Some things I wonder how to do
Hi!
1. How can I put some text in the upper right corner of the first
page
(documentclass article)?
Insert a margin note along your title and inside the margin note put a
ERT box with \vspace{-2cm} and write the text you want in the upper
right corner in the margin note. (You might try different lengths to
get the correct height of the text). If your text is wider than the
margin it will wrap and you will nead to use \fancyhdr instead...
What is an ERT box? I have searched for ERT in the user's guide, but
I didn't find anything. I think, however, that a margin note would be
too small. I suppose I'll have to learn how fancyhdr works.
Insert-Special formatting-Horizonal fill
Well, then the text gets right allignment. I don't want that.
2. Normally, the first line of a paragraph should be indented and
not
the rest, but sometimes I want it to be on the contrary, with
every line
except the first one indented. Is that possible?
The easiest way is the increase the margin width and put a negative
indentation in the document setup dialog. (-5 mm)
I only want a small part of the document to be like that. If I do
this, the whole document will change, won't it?
3. How can I start a new paragraph without starting a new
number in a numbered list? I mean that I want to have more
than one paragaph to a number.
Create your new paragraph as Standard (or something else as itemize
for a nested enumeration) and use EditIncrease List Depth.
That doesn't seem to work. I don't want a space between the
paragraphs, but I want the first line of the new one to be indented,
which it isn't with ctrl+enter.
4. When I have a figure, I can put the
text (example: Figure 1: A nice picture) above and beside
the figure, but is it possible to put the text below the
figure?
Pressing enter before inserting the figure helped. Thanks!

Yes, it will. If you only want some text done this way you may use a
minipage
and some ERT :).
start by putting \hfill in an ERT box. Then just behind the ERT box insert a
minipage. Right click on the closed minipage and set the size to 90 %col.
Add
the text you want formatted to the minipage. Bofore the first word inside
the
minipage add another ERT box with \hspace{-10mm}. The sizes can be changed
to
your match your style.
I hope this helps...

That sounds good, but what is a minipage? I have searched for

Wonderful! Now it worked.
Number 1 and number 3 are left to solve. I tried to put the things
here inside a margin note to the title too, but I got lots of errors.

Well, have a look at http://dump.sweclockers.com/gapa/lyxlines.png. I want the text to be like the lines, with the first line beginning at the same place and the other lines being indented. -- Albert Pettersson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Some things I wonder how to do
Hi! I have some things I would like to know how I do in LyX. I am completely new to LaTeX and LyX. 1. How can I put some text in the upper right corner of the first page (documentclass article)? 2. Normally, the first line of a paragraph should be indented and not the rest, but sometimes I want it to be on the contrary, with every line except the first one indented. Is that possible? 3. How can I start a new paragraph without starting a new number in a numbered list? I mean that I want to have more than one paragaph to a number. 4. When I have a figure, I can put the text (example: Figure 1: A nice picture) above and beside the figure, but is it possible to put the text below the figure? Thank you in advance! -- Albert Pettersson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Removing the date
Hi! I am completely new to both LaTeX and LyX and have a little problem, which probably is very stupid. When I am writing, the date is put below the title (documentclass article), but I don't want to have the date there. Is it possible to remove it? -- Albert Pettersson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
