use fancy headers, you can define them separate for fancy and plain style.
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}
\pagestyle{fancy}{
\rhead{\thepage}
}
and some other stuff, this is just a hint to get started.

Re: please help with toc..
Thanks, I didn't got your previous email, don't know why, but
thanks for your patience.
It looks better now, but when I have long title's for a chapter name it does this:
Hoofdstuk I Very long chapter titel is
here and
looks a bit
ugly. 10
While I want this:
Hoofdstuk I This very long chapter title
looks better this way. 10
Any ideas, anyone?
Cheers,
Jeroen.

more about toc
Hi again, When I use e.g. a section, and I make the section bold, it also appears bold in the table of content. Does anyone know how I can make the table of content just use the normal font, independent of the section header being written bold or e.g. italic? Cheers, Jeroen.
please help with toc..
Hi all, I got a deadline which is actually my lifeline. My table of content in amsbook does the following: Hoofdstuk I Name1 10 Hoofdstuk II Name2 20 Hoofdstuk III Name3 30 while I want this: Hoofdstuk I Name1 10 Hoofdstuk II Name2 20 Hoofdstuk III Name3 30 If someone could please help me eternal gratitude in advance, Jeroen.
tocloft
Hi,
When I put \usepackage{tocloft} in my preamble, using amsbook style,

Re: chapter headings in fancyheader
Great, thanks it's working.
But it's hard for people who are blond.
I also tried to make the font of that chaptername small, I can put \small in the \def
or in the fancyhead[C], but... it's not working.
Latex is great, but hard to learn.
But by the time I'm a latex guru, I will implement all this stuff in lyx.
Another thing, maybe someone alse also has it, might be a bug.
I have lyx-1.2.1 running on Mandrake 9.0, and I've inserted a tiff image, works great,
but when I use the 'Additional Latex options' from the lyx graphics inset, it doesn't
seem to remember what I type there.
I inserted /caption{Diamant}, but the next time I look at it, it's gone.
Is anyone else having the same thing?

table of content
Hi all,
more newbe questions.
I use amsbook style, but the table of content is ugly.
Which other packages can I use for toc?
I did an \usepackage{minitoc} in the preamble, what more do I need to do to actualy see
it working?
sorry for the stupidity...

chapter headings in fancyheader
Hi, a question which I should be able to find myself... but I seem to be missing something. In my fancyheader I want the chaptername, but when I use \chaptername or \thechapter, I don't get the name of the chapter in my headings. Which \chapter.. do I need for it? Thanks in advance, Jeroen.
paragraph startig on new page.
Hello all, doe anyone know how to do this: I've set the distance between alinea's to a fixed 4mm, but sometimes, when a new alinea starts it starts on the end of a page, having only one or two lines on the end of the page. Which is ugly. How can I make an alinea start on a new page if it would have less than 4 lines on the page where it normally starts? Thanks in advance, Jeroen.
Partial table of content
Hi all, I'm using amsbook for a large dutch book. I (well, actualy the writer... not me) want to start every chapter with a page with the chapter name and a table of content containing only the contents of that chapter. Doe anyone know how to do that? Cheers, Jeroen.
Re: native Windows LyX?
A solution to your whole cygwin install party, might be: take one unix machine, make accounts, and let the windows users use an x server like xwin32. You can make a nice x-login with xdmcp, or just give them putty also, so they can ssh, and set the DISPLAY to the remote ip_addess:0 in their profiles. I did that with some other applications about 2 years ago, the users got used to the Linux applications so much, that half of the company is now using Linux. Good luck.

page stype at beginning of chapter.
Hi all,
Hope someone can give me a hint about the following:
I use amsbook style, and have a fancyheader with some graphics in the preamble.
Looks allright, but on every first page of a chapter, ir defines:
\thispagestyle{plain}
in amsbook.cls, but I also want my fancyheader on the first pages of the chapter.
How can I do that without editing amsbook.cls (I tried, but it mixed up everything).
Cheers,
Jeroen.
font vertor file in pdf export
Hi! Thanks to this list the book I'm working on is almost ready to print. The company who is going to print it has a question, and I hope someone here can help me. I export a pdf file, and the one who is going to print it opens it on a mac. The mac machine doesn't have the font I use, and replaces it with a spandard -ugly- font. It seems to be possible to include the fonts in the pdf file as a so called 'vector file'. Does anyone know how to generate such a pdf file? Cheers, Jeroen.

If you start lyx from the command prompt, you should see which program lyx is trying to start to view ps and/or pdf.

toc in AMS-book
Hi,
I use roman chapter numbering in AMS-book, by putting:
\renewcommand*{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
in a dutch book.
When I look at the table of content it does this:
Hoofdstuk I.Dit is hoofdstuk 1 3
Hoofdstuk II.Dit is hoofdstuk 2 7
Hoofdstuk III.Dit is hoofdstuk 315
While I want this:
Hoofdstuk I.Dit is hoofdstuk 1 3
Hoofdstuk II. Dit is hoofdstuk 2 7
Hoofdstuk III. Dit is hoofdstuk 3 15
How can I correct that?
thnx again,
Jeroen.

Yet another question -within a few incarnations I hope to actually be able to answer questions on this list- : I have a book with AMS-book style, but I would like the chapters to be numbered with roman numbers, like; chapter I, chapter II, ... chapter XI etc. In stead of 1,2,3..

hyphenation in Dutch
Hi,
I using a dutch text for a book, and in the preamble I have:
\usepackage[dutch]{babel}
Hyphenation works rigth most of the time, but ofcourse I needed to specify some
exeptions with:
\hyphenation{ uit-zon-de-ring ... }
But the hyphenation babel dutch thing keeps making one serious mistake, almost all the
words with 'ij' in it get split between the i and the j, like:
begrijpeli-jk
waarschi-jnlijk
Wich is very wrong, and when I put them in my \hyphenation list it's allright, but
there are so many words with 'ij' that the \hyphenation list becomes very large.
Is there a way to correct this babel mistake?
Cheers,
Jeroen.

Hi, Does anyone know about a way to make quarkexpress and latex communicate? Is there a plugin for quarkexpress to read tex? Or is there a tex exportable format, usefull for quarkxpress? Cheers, Jeroen.
fonts (still newbe)
Hi, I seem to have been able to install a font (called allrunes) in tex, but I've got no idea how to test it. When I do reconfigure from lyx, I expected it to be in the layout charcter or layour document window. it turned out to be an illusion, after generating all kind of files with latex and doing a texhash, lyx doesn't seem to know anything about it. How can I make lyx know about a new font? and... what kind of electroshock therapy is needed to make the latex/lyx stuff become clear and simple :-) ? Cheers, Jeroen.

totally lost newby (yes I'm blond) question.
Well, I'm still very new to lyx (second day I'm trying it), on this list it was suggested to use new layout files from ctan, so I tried. I downloaded: script10.sty script12.sty script.cls script_l.cls script11.sty script18.sty script_s.cls Some kind of mix of cls and sty files (do they need each other or are they the same stuff in another format?) I've put them all under ~/.lyx/layouts, or should the sty files or cls files go somewhere else? As in the Customization help file, I copied a layout file, end edited it like shown in the help file. When I run reconfigure from lyx, I get: +checking for document class mybook [book,script10.sty,script11.sty]... no Why not? And something else, I'm trying to work with a pretty plain dutch story book, with some pictures, which one of the styles (there are so many...) would be best to use, most of them seem to be for scientifical stuff. Thnx, Jeroen.
newbe question
Hello, I'm new to lyx, and I'm trying produce an -already written- book with lyx. I have a very simple question: When I make a one-word text, and call it a title, I see that it's placed in the middle, above the text, which is what I want. When I look at the dvi preview, it produces an entire page with the title, and the date, and it puts the text on the next page -I use "book" as document style-, which is not what I want. The standard set of text types doesn't seem to have what I want. Q: Is there a collection of extra text types and documents styles, and how do I install it? Is there a good howto about how to write my own types and document styles? b.t.w. I really like the lyx way of doing things, it's great. Cheers, Jeroen.
