page numbering ToC, Bib

2006-06-05 Thread Eric Zollars

I am using komascript book and fancy headers.

The first page of each chapter has the page number in the center of the 
footer. For the chapters I can turn this off with \thispagestyle{empty}, 
but the first page of the ToC and Bibliography still have the page 
number in the center of the footer.  I tried using 
\pagenumbering{gobble} but that makes the page number in the ToC vanish 
as well.


Any suggestions?

Eric

2006-06-05 Thread Eric Zollars

In the book class you can just use the ERT at the beginning of the document:
\pagenumbering{roman}

and in Chapter 1:
\pagenumbering{arabic}

no preamble needed.

If a figure or table is too wide, you may try to rotate the figure or

table. Figures can be rotated using the angle option in 
\includegraphics. If the caption also needs to be rotated, use the

be placed before the \begin{document} in the thesis.tex file. For example,


\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[angle=90]{file.ps}
\rotcaption{Figure Caption}
\label{fig}
\end{figure}

Tables and figures can be rotated using the \sideways environment. This 
environments always rotates 90 degrees counter-clockwise.


There is a caption package also. I'm not sure this answered your

pdflatex displays the rotated caption correctly (and the figure once I

pdfpages requires absolute paths to include a pdf file in ERT.

Is it possible to enter an absolute path in an ERT box in Windows?

Thanks.

pdfpages LyX on Windows

2006-05-12 Thread Eric Zollars

Hello, trying to include a pdf file in my LyX document.
This is Lyx 1.3.7-3 on Windows.

I have in my preamble:
\usepackage{pdfpages}

Then in the document ERT:
\includepdf{testfile.pdf}

When I export to pdflatex, a pdf is created but it does not have the 
included file.


Any advice or working lyx files would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

lyxserver on windows

2006-01-27 Thread Eric Zollars

Hello.
I am trying to get Lyx running on windows.  Additionally I would like a 
Bibtex manager to use with the lyxserver.  I am trying Jabref.


Currently I cannot get Jabref to push a citation to Lyx.  The error (in 
Jabref) is:
Status: Error: verify that LyX is running and that the lyxpipe is valid. 
[C:\Documents and Settings\zollars\.lyx\lyxpipe]


I have added this in Lyx to EditPreferencesPathsLyXServer pipe and 
restarted Lyx, but I still get the same error in Jabref.


How can I check that the lyxpipe is actually working?  Anyone have this 
working on windows?


Thanks.
Eric

I was afraid of that.  Any great ideas for reference management with Lyx 
on windows?

No. The pipe does not work at all on windows, because named pipes are not
available on this OS.
