shorthand/completion?
Hi, all...

Math macros, how to use?
Hi, all... Sorry to be posting here every day or so, but I've come across something that does not seem to work as documented. (It doesn't seem to work at all!) I read with interest the section in the User Guide on math macros. It seemed to me that this would allow me to define a macro, say "msol", to save me from having to type a lot when I want to insert the M-with-subscripted-odot that represents a "solar mass". Ok, I defined the macro as directed, and went into a math box and typed "\msol" and what I had defined showed up on-screen. Fine, I was happy and went about my business -- until I got ready to look at the results of placing a floating figure (didn't work; I get 50 errors every time... I'll solve that one later), when I discovered that every time I actually used that macro I get an error, "Undefined control sequence," telling me the macro I defined way back at the beginning of the document is not defined! :( This happens no matter what I call the macro, or where in the document I attempt to use it. latex --version says: TeX (Web2C 7.2) 3.14159 kpathsea version 3.2 LyX is version 1.0.1-1 Any clues?

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

This kind of error happens when you say `\if...' and forget
the matching `\fi'. I've inserted a `\fi'; this might work.
! Emergency stop.

This happens whether the note is on a line by itself, or whether it
has text before or after it. One of these notes is on a line before a table
begins, and another is right before an itemized section; it looks like the
second one may be at fault, but because of the wide range of lines given in the
log I cannot be sure.
The blurb on the LyX Web page says no familiarity with LaTeX is
necessary to use it... but I can't help thinking that if I were familiar with
it I might know what's causing this. :(
Thanks for any help,

Margin note problems - LyX 1.0.1-1
Hi...
I am working on several documents which use margin notes to show the
date on which particular information was entered. A few of these notes print
successfully, but now I have encountered one or more which will not. When I go
to print or view DVI, only the pages of the document before these notes are
generated, and I get the following in the LaTeX log:

printing page range; kdvi?
Hi, all... Two questions: When printing a range of pages, how does one specify, "Print from page 3 to the last page"? I have tried everything I can think of, such as "3-", "3...", and other strange things, and nothing produces anything other than an error. Also, has anyone successfully configured LyX to use the KDE dvi viewer, kdvi? I have gone into TeXconfig to see if that was where I could do it, but I don't even think it's set up properly -- I can print files, and view dvis, yet if I go to "xdvi configuration" I get a message, "'' does not exist" and TeXconfig exits. (It says it will display the error log, but it does not.) I would rather use kdvi than xdvi, if possible, because xdvi never fits on my screen, so its controls are often inaccessible. Any help will be appreciated! :) Thanks, --- // Carl Hudkins ]=[ ICQ: 5723399 ]=[ PGP: 0x50238d9e // // Vida i am afraid of programs! // Vida uses Windoze :)
