Calibri Font

2024-04-29 Thread Brian Kneller via lyx-users
Hello,

I am a newbie to Lyx and I am using the Manchester PhD template on the LyX 
website. Before LyX all my figures and text used Calibri font, it would be 
great if I could use this in my LyX rendering. I have been on the web and found 
several options however the solutions are dependant on several modules being 
present - what is required for Lyx please?

Thanks in advance ( if I am addressing the wrong groups [please let me know)

Help Please

Hi thanks for the responses they have been most useful. I have a few questions 
below:

 I have decided to use the Manchester Uni thesis format as its very near the 
London Uni version.  I think I am running into unnecessary difficulties because 
I am using my existing directory structure and Lyx  has a preferred in 
/Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.3.  I have not found a preferred structure 
is there one?
 I am stripping out the bits I don’t want from the Thesis Template such as  
figures , headings , labels etc all have an index of some form where should 
these be stored &  how do I ensure these are reset or can I copy the template 
into the template subdirectory , which is currently empty and then start a new 
doc from this.
 I have loaded revtex4-1 into the shared area subdir but cannot see it from the 
Doc/settings in the lyx main menu should it be there?
 I like the use of Letterine for the first char of a section, how is this 
\lettrine{I}{n}and the following invoked :--   Figure~\ref{shuffle_diagram}; 
\label{Shuffle} and where is the definitions of these –I have not found (yet) 
where this is described an indication where I could look would be helpful. I 
suspect they are under the Lyx-Code environment in the dropdown top lefthand 
side of menu – but there is no list below it.

 Sorry for these simple questions but I need to complete this soon

 

Many Thanks

Convert Mac Word and Thesis to LyX

2024-04-17 Thread Brian Kneller via lyx-users
Hi, 

I hope I am in the correct space. — I have prepared a thesis for a PhD  (75K 
words)and approx 80 figures, the text in Mac-word and the figures are in Adobe 
Illustrator so I have some flexibility in Format. Also there are many 
references. I hold all my references and comments on them in Bookends. I regret 
not looking at lyx/latex and using them much earlier so I am looking for an 
easy way to migrate this info into Lyx and I am also looking for a Thesis  
template. I have dowloaded and installed Lyx on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks) and 
been thro the intro etc. I am trying to minimise the effort in migration to Lyx 
so any comments and advice is most welcome.

Thanks in anticipation

Regds
