color print problem (CMYK converted to RGB)
I just got a call from the printer who wanted to let me know that all the color images in our books were somehow converted from C4 (CMYK) to RGB. They caught this much later than it should have been, but it was caught and they were able to swap out the plates. Here are the steps that were followed: 1. Received TIFF (CMYK) images from printer (verified) 2. TIFF images placed in LyX 3. LaTeX to DVI output (TIFF in tmp file is still CMYK, but not the EPS files) 4. DVI file saved as Postscript 5. Postscript file delivered to printer. I checked the EPS's with Adobe Preflight and it reports that they are in fact RGB color space and not CMYK. Is this a problem with the ImageMagick conversion that LyX calls? Is this a configuration error on my part? Is it a known problem?

first page of the TOC and the list of figures?
Either use tocloft (\tocloftpagestyle)
I now see this on page six of the tocloft docs, but last night it was
invisible. But, in any event, trying \tocloftpagestyle{empty} caused
the 1st and the last page of the TOC to have no page number.
or do something like the following:
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\pagestyle{empty}
[TOC]
\pagestyle{your default pagestyle}
These in front of the TOC and LOF:
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
worked perfectly!
And should one need a third (last resort) method: last night, after a
little careful grepping, I simply ran the Postscript output through the
SED editor (500MB, but not a problem) and replaced the two unwanted
page numbers with a space.
Thanks for your help.

Dear LyXers, The last MB of the two 222-MB (compressed) postscript files was just uploaded to the printer's server and my double-book (English/German) LyX project is done. We got proofs back this week, made some minor corrections to the master LyX files (version nos. 162 and 169 respectively) and I uploaded the PS output this evening. Each is about 400 pages, with roughly 95 illustrations, toc, lof, and index. The files were edited by two people using LyX 1.3.5 on a Mac and a Linux-PC. We used the following packages: KOMA-Script Book amsmath, crop, soul, ellipsis, scrpage2, babel, tocloft, and subfigure. And your help. Many thanks to all of you! -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations

Re: Caption horizontally as long as the width of the picture

Dear All
How can one have a caption horizontally as long as the width of the

One way is to use LyX's subfigure caption that is located under Extra

side effects (you gain a sub-figure, which is numbered (a), (b), (c),
etc. by default). (If this interests you, take a look at the package

Another quick way which should work...

A side question -- does anyone know of further developments of a (vim) syntax file for the LyX file format? Someone had posted the beginnings of one a while ago. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations

page break top/bottom versus above/below
Hi all, I just noticed a terminology inconsistency, but I'm using 1.3.5, so I don't know if it's been caught already. If you select Page Breaks (Above / Below) in the Paragraph Layout menu, you will get Page Break (top) or Page Break (bottom) as the result. I prefer above/below (relative to where the line where the break is being inserted) and might even suggest that top/bottom is wrong, but either way, shouldn't it be consistent? -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations

Re: Latex error on graphics insert (LyX 1.3.7)

It usually does this automatically for EPS files by reading bounding box info. However... it may be unable to extract this information from binary bitmap images such as .jpeg files. In my experience (1.3.5) LyX converts jpegs to an EPS automagically. And above it does say type eps... You could, as a workaround, try doing this yourself (save the jpeg as an eps). I would also first try one of the LyX help docs (with images) to see if have the same problem. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations
