it a better package.
Or maybe I should try out OO Impress? I am moving away from ppt since
they still can't support eps properly and the new interface is
horrendous. All I really need is vector graphics, decent equations,
simple animations and a decent editor.

Terrrifc! Thanks to all the developers. Easy access on windows will be huge.
Anybody report success installing over a 1.4.2 system on Windows? Any known
issues?
I assume you should back up your "Documents and Setting/userid/Application
Data/LyX1.4.x directory, just to make sure...

I have run into problems adding extra class files into my latex installation and
getting them to work with lyx. (I know, install, run something to reconfigure
latex, reconfigure lyx, but it is never smooth sailing for me)
It may be nice to have a boatload installed by default or as an option.

Here is a question along the same lines: How can I modify the number
of environments shown by default?
By default, it shows 10 different types and you have to scroll up or down.

I think you miss out on some formatting, and you may have trouble with multiple

I am using the new 1.4.2 version on Windows. I am not sure how they compiled
it, but I assume they used cygwin.

I thought it was always "licks", but I could see people using "leeks".
And LaTeX was always la-Tech, not lay-tech
I have been using tgif to do vector graphics for a few years and I have been
happy with it for simple things.
I hacked their equation object code to call lyx for equation editing.
You double click an equation image in tgif and it should open a lyx editor with
the equation in it. You can modif

I saw in the archives that people are having problems with rendering in
LyX on new Mandrake 8.1 installs.
Has anyone found a reasonable fix?
Thanks for your help.
