Rotated multirow table cell
Hello LyX users,
Is there anyway to have rotated text span multiple rows in LyX?
90° rotated text should span multiple rows in a table.
I tried ERT
\multirow{2}{2cm}{text} then make the cell rotate 90° but didn't get it to
work.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions and solutions.

Re: How reduce number of hyphenation per page
RH, thank you for your help. The language is Russian. There are quite a lot of long words. I have tried different numerical arguments and following seems to work well in my case. \hyphenpenalty=2000 \exhyphenpenalty=2000 \sloppy Do you know any way to mix different paper formats? My document is A4 paper size but I need a few pages of A3 paper format for large flowsheet diagrams.

How reduce number of hyphenation per page
Hi all, I'm using LyX 1.5.5 on Windows XP. My document has utf8 encoding and Cyrillic font. I'm getting about 10 hyphenation per page and doesn't look pretty. Unfortunately microtype package doesn't work with Cyrillic font. So no protrusion and expansion available. By googling, I got a understanding that hyphenation could be controlled with following commands. But I can't find their definition. \hyphenpenalty= \exhyphenpenalty= \righthyphenmin= \lefthyphenmin= \emergencystretch= \tolerance= I don't want to completely turn off hyphenation just reduce the number of hyphenation per page. I don't want to leave just 2 or 3 letters on the upper line and hyphenate. Preferably just stretch spaces or justify such line. Thank you in advance for you help. -- Zorigtkhuu Davaanyam
Float placement
Hi all,
I'm trying to place a float on top of next page (I'm using default
placement). But what I get is a page with float vertically centered.
By reading Embedded objects manual I understood that if a float occupies
more than 70% of the page then float is placed alone on the next page
vertically centered which I'm getting now. But if I write following command
in my preamble the float should be placed on top of next page. Is my
understanding correct?
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{0.5}
\renewcommand{\topfraction}{1}
My float occupies about 80% of the page so I want some text to continue on
the bottom 20% of the page.
When I change default placement to Top of Page the float is placed 10 pages
later and still vertically centered.
What am I missing? Please suggest a solution for me. Thank you very much
in advance.

Aspell Russian Dictionary corrupt
Hi all, Has anyone tried to install Aspell Russian Dictionary with standard installation of LyX 1.5.5 on Windows XP? After downloading the russian spellchecker the following error message appears.

Again table caption issue
Hi all,
I'm sorry to keep bothering with same issue.
With help of Bob Lounsbury and Uwe Stoher, I have right aligned caption
label and centered caption text in the next line with following code.
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{custom}{\raggedleft\bfseries#1\par\centerlast\slshape#3\par}
\captionsetup[table]{format=custom}
But I couldn't change fonts of caption label to bold and caption text to
slanted as it supposed to.
I tried KOMA Script book class' own
\setkomafont{captionlabel}{\bfseries}
but couldn't get it change.
It doesn't give any error just doesn't change font.
I tried using regular book class but it didn't help.
What could cause caption font being so stubborn?
Thank you in advance

Table caption label customization
Hi all,
I've read KOMA Script manual. But I couldn't figure out how to customize
table caption.
Now I understand table caption consists of following four parts.
1. Caption label
2. Caption number
3. Caption delimiter
4. Caption text
I want to leave figure captions as they are and change table captions to
have right aligned Caption label with number but without delimiter and page
break then centered caption text.
\setcapindent*{xindent} produces page break and indentation.
\renewcommand*{\captionformat}{~} gets rid of delimiter which was colon.
\setcapwidth[justification]{width} is used to change caption text alignment.
But I think it changes figure and table and I have set width each time.
Please help me on this.
Thank you in advance.
