LyX, Beamer and math macros

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,
When using LyX to produce slides with Beamer, I encountered the following
issue. Beamer produces an empty slide wherever I insert my math macros. I
could not think of a way to "encapsulate" them.

Any help will be appreciated.

Best,

Hi,
How can import a LaTeX file into LyX so that the LaTeX macros are imported 
into LyX math macros?

Thanks

Re: LyX does not insert & when inserting a "Split" environment

[Reuven Segev]

Thanks a lot, butI tried it with the inverted slash and without without it
and also tried to use ctrl-L so that it thinks this is latex. It insists on
"\&".

LyX does not insert & when inserting a "Split" environment

[Reuven Segev]

Hi everybody,
For some reason, when I insert a "Split" environment in an equation, LyX
does not insert the "&" in the source and as a result, the equations are not
aligned to the left. This is in contrast with the behavior for the  "Array"
environment. Is this normal? Is there any way to insert the "&" manually? (I
tried and did not succeed.)

Your help will be very much appreciated.

Problems with LyX 1.6.3

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,
I downloaded and installed version 1.6.3 (classic rather the alternative
installer) on WinXP64 system (over my previous 1.6.2 version). When I opened
documents, it would not compile them. It generated an empty tex file and issued
an error message about exporting buffer (don't have the exact wording). I tried
to reinstall. Same result. Reinstalled 1.6.2 and it works fine/

Did anybody have a similar experience? Ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Reuven

Hi,
As far as I can tell, the "standard" installer is still unavailable, or do I
miss something? 

I was looking at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.2/.

Classic Vs. Alternative Windows Installers

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,

I have been using LyX for about 5 years now and was always mystified by the
existence of the two versions of the installer. 

I have the 1.6.1 "classical" installed at the moment and in the past I used also
the "alternative" one.

With the 1.6.2 unavailable yet im the classic version: 
 - Does it make sense to wait?
 - Will the "alternative" installer remove the 1.6.1 "classic" or co-exist with
it? (I understand I cannot use the updater.)
 - In case I use the alternative installer, will I have to insert all my
preferences, customization, etc. again?

Will appreciate you help on the matter.

AND THANKS A LOT FOR THE GREAT PIECE OF SOFTWARE AND USEFUL WORK ENVIRONMENT.

Problems with versions 144.2 and 144.3

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,
When I installed Versions 1.4.4.2 and 1.4.4.3, I could not get to the Document 
settings > latex preamble.  LyX simply froze.
  Help please?
