Printing book on two-sided document
Hi! Tomorrow I will have to print my final thesis, and I'll have it binded. So, I checked in LyX the "two-sided document" checkbox, to have it on the two sides to create the book, but I noticed something strange. I suppose this is not LyX related, but I don't know: the created document is, of course, different when the page is on the right side or on the left side, but I noticed as well that the column is not centered, and that the wider free space is on the side of the page that will be binded. I mean, if the page is a right page, the wider free space is on the right, and the column with the text is moved a little on the left. Isn't this strange? Shouldn't the wider free space of the page be on the side of the page that is going to be bided? Is this correct or maybe I've done something wrong? Than you very much for any help guys (and thank you for all the support you have been giving me during my work on my thesis! :-))! -- Luca Carlon Computer Engineering Student University of Padua (Italy)

Problems with PDF files generated by LyX
Hi guys! I know this is not the right place to ask this, but maybe you could be patient and at least try to give me some hints. I'm writing my thesis with LyX, and I produce PDF's using the ps2pdf command for my supervisor. The problem is that now, she's telling me she's never been able to read those PDFs but only my printings as the PDFs are not readable. She complains that after every word it goes to a newline... So, she can't print nor read it... I tried those PDFs on 7 systems, 4 OS's and a least 3 different PDF readers... no problem. Even google documents is reading correctly. I suppose she's using Adobe under Windows XP. Does anyone have any idea what there could be wrong? I know its not directly LyX related, but maybe you guys have an idea of what I could do. Anyone who experienced this problem before? Thanks for any advice! Luca

Thus I would need to insert a single page with a different document class, like an AMS article. Is this possible?

inside a listing a reference to other parts of the document, a Chapter for

Setting the width of cells
Hi! I was trying to set a table so that it takes the entire column of my document. I have 4 columns, so I selected each entire column and I set the width as 20% of the text width.

Redefinition of paragraphs styles
Hi! I'm using the book document style and I'm using the modules Theorems (AMS), Theorems (AMS extended) and Theorems (By Chapter).

Anyway, I see that remarks are italic in LyX, whereas definitions and examples are italic only when the pdf is created. Is there any way to change the style of those paragraphs even in the LyX interface? This would make my document clearer during editing. Thanks! Luca

It seems the problem is related to the presence of the list of the algorithms.
The error now is (I don't know why but the error has changed from the time I
wrote the first message):
\listof{algorithm}{List of Algorithms}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
and the paragraph is:
% Preview source code for paragraph 5
\listof{algorithm}{List of Algorithms}
If I remove the list of algorithms the document is compiled without problems.
Any idea why?
Thanks!

Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks!
Inserting algorithms and codes in documents
Hi! I'm writing my thesis and now I would need to put some algorithms and codes to my LyX document. I created a float Algorithm and I placed in it a program listing. I see it is even possible to select many useful options, I think it is really great and very very comfortable. There one thing I'm not able to fix... it seems the algorithm doesn't go to the new page... One single page is not sufficient to contain the entire algorithm... Is it possible to make LyX go to the new page with the same algorithm? Thanks!

Changing the font size in the captions
Is it possible to change the size of the font used in all the captions of images and tables in the document? Thanks!
Re: Setting paragraph style in document class
Sam Liddicott writes: > Where did you get the 'Example' paragraph type from? > Book doesn't have this by default. > > Sam Are you sure? I selected 'book' in document class in the document settings. I selected then Example from the menu of LyX where the are also the types 'Part', 'Chapter', 'Section' etc... Maybe I was wrong and that is not the paragraph type, sorry, I don't know how it's called. When I select 'Example' I get a new paragraph with the text 'Example a.b'. I would like the text I write in that paragraph to be italic. I see in most math and engineering books examples are italic. Thanks for your answer!
Setting paragraph style in document class
Hi! I'm writing a book with LyX using the document class book. I just would like to change the style of the 'Example' paragraph type so that it appears italic. Is this possible? I would like as well to reduce the font size of the text in the caption of the images: is this possible too? Thanks for any suggestion!

This doesn't look to great, however... Well... better than nothing! Unfortunately the box is far larger than the equation.

My problem was that number appeared on each line (not the same number). This is ok. Thank you very much!
Boxed multiline formula
Hi! I'm facing this problem: I would like to write long equations (two or even three lines are needed) in which (possibly) each line is center aligned in the page and so that it is possible to box them all together. Moreover I really need to have one reference number only (not one for each line). Is this possible? I tried reading the manual but the methods I read about multiline equations seem not to fit my needs. I have a Tex code which does almost this (it lacks the center alignment), but I would like to know if it is possible to do this without the code to have the good looking equation, and not the inline code :-). Is this possible? Thanks guys!
