LyX in APA format
Hello. Does anyone have experience with writing APA format papers using Lyx? If so, I have a question about an error in the Lyx APA format example paper (found here): http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ApaLyX When compiling the text into pdf format, the acknowledgments section does not appear in the pdf paper. Neither does the Note section. Any help someone can give to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to be able to modify my footnotes so that instead of being labeled by numbers, they can be labeled by the star or diamond or clover symbols, or any other symbol I prefer. See sec. 4.2.1 Footnote Numbering of the EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's Help menu. 2. I would like to be able to create the red box link on my footnotes so that I can click on them in the main text, and they can send me directly to the corresponding footnote text at the bottom of the page. This is done when you enable hyperref in the menu Document-Settings-PDF Properties. Note that you then have to use the PDF export/view method pdflatex. The other variants don't support all hyperref features. For more info about hyperref, see sec. 6.9 PDF Properties of the LyX UserGuide. regards Uwe

Re: LyX
Hi again, How can I add more colors (specifically, orange and purple) to the text style options? Also, is it possible to color the section numbers, along with the section name (e.g. make 1 Introduction all in blue)?

Re: LyX
Hi again, I'm noticing a couple of problems with my LyX program. 1. When I attempt to spellcheck my document (I go to the spellchecker under Tools), it always gives me the following error: The spellchecker could not be started. LyX: Failed to start ispell! 2. When I use the search under Help for checking spelling and grammar, it says With the document open, choose Edit 'Spelling and Grammar' Check Document Now. However, when I go to Edit with my document open, I cannot find the Spelling and Grammar option. 3. In the second section of my paper, I have added a numbered formula (the second formula of the entire paper), and for no reason it is unevenly placing the formula closer to the continuing text in the same paragraph, and I can't seem to change it by rewriting the formula and text. Also, the correct number of the formula does not show up (it still shows formula number (!), even though it is the second formula of the paper). Please advise.

LyX footnotes questions
Hello, I recently downloaded LyX, and am currently writing a paper with it. However, there are a couple of things I would like to do with the paper which I don't see how to do from reading the LyX user guide, and I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. 1. I would like to be able to modify my footnotes so that instead of being labeled by numbers, they can be labeled by the star or diamond or clover symbols, or any other symbol I prefer. 2. I would like to be able to create the 'red box' link on my footnotes so that I can click on them in the main text, and they can send me directly to the corresponding footnote text at the bottom of a page. Please let me know if I should clarify anything. Thanks, Maaneli Derakhshani.
