Re: keyboard customization
found the solution thanks to charles!
put \usepackage{eurosym} in your preamble.
you can then use \euro{} or \EUR{1000}... there are options and other
commands described in the documentation.

lyx w/o imagemagick
so i've finally been able to get everything working on my non-admin windows
account, except imagemagick :(
what i don't get however is what i need imagemagick for... in fact, if i
export to latex and manually use latex or pdflatex, i can use images w/o
imagemagick (after a bit of tweaking: adding graphicx package and fixing
file name).
so a few questions:
- i've tried adding \usepackage{graphicx} to my preamble but i get errors
about filename (seems like i get extra \string before the path and before
.jpg). see end of message for errors. who's doing what to my filename and
why?
- what does imagemagick bring that graphicx package doesnt do?
mamato
Missing \endcsname inserted.
...lyx_tmpbuf1/1Z__tmp_figure_1a\string.jpg}
The control sequence marked to be read again should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.
Missing { inserted.
...lyx_tmpbuf1/1Z__tmp_figure_1a\string.jpg}
A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.
You might want to delete and/or insert some corrections
so that I will find a matching right brace soon.
(If you're confused by all this, try typing `I}' now.)
Missing $ inserted.
...lyx_tmpbuf1/1Z__tmp_figure_1a\string.jpg}
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
Re: pasting quotes?
copy/paste text with single quotes (') from outside (windows) doesn't
work
for me :(
highlight the text in your WinApplication and use Strg-c (C-c) to copy
it to the clipboard. Then change to LyX and press the middle mouse button.
The (') doesn't matter.
this doesn't work from word :(
it works if i copy from word to vim and then from vim to lyx...

shared document format for multiple files
so i decided to break up my doc using inclusions. but now they each have their own document format, if i change the option in the main file the included files wont know about them and vice-versa... is it possible to share document format among files? mamato
lyx w/o imagemagick
so i've finally been able to get everything working on my non-admin windows
account, except imagemagick :(
what i don't get however is what i need imagemagick for... in fact, if i
export to latex and manually use latex or pdflatex, i can use images w/o
imagemagick (after a bit of tweaking: adding graphicx package and fixing
file name).
so a few questions:
- i've tried adding \usepackage{graphicx} to my preamble but i get errors
about filename (seems like i get extra \string before the path and before
.jpg). see end of message for errors. who's doing what to my filename and
why?
- what does imagemagick bring that graphicx package doesnt do?

A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.
You might want to delete and/or insert some corrections
so that I will find a matching right brace soon.

Re: pasting quotes?
copy/paste text with single quotes (') from outside (windows) doesn't
work
for me :(
highlight the text in your WinApplication and use Strg-c (C-c) to copy
it to the clipboard. Then change to LyX and press the middle mouse button.
The (') doesn't matter.
this doesn't work from word :(
it works if i copy from word to vim and then from vim to lyx...

Re: lyx on windows (and printing notes)
it mainly depends on which registry the install is trying to write to. - in many cases you can install software to your home directory without any admin privileges because it uses the user registry and not the main registry. - sometimes it asks whether it should be installed for everyone (main registry) or just the current user (user registry). - sometimes it needs to use the main registry for legitimate reasons (need low level access to drivers etc) or only bothers with the main registry and then you can't do anything without admin privileges. i have to agree with angus, there's no legitimate need for a word processor to require admin level registry access. it's simply a user-level app... thx angus for letting regular users use your installer ;) mamato On 11/28/05, Stephen Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Angus Leeming [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 6:57 AM Subject: Re: lyx on windows (and printing notes) argh!!

lyx on windows (and printing notes)
argh!! LyXWinInstaller requires admin privileges :/ i managed to install it using the LyX 1.3.6 installer after installing minsys and python 2.3 (2.4 requires admin privileges :/) i'll try to install miktex and gs tomorrow. once i've installed them, i can simply add the directories in the preferences and reconfigure? another annoying thing is the dialog boxes used by winlyx to open/save files. it's old school drive:\dir and my work laptop has that weird setup for network syncing where my home directory is a network dir (\\server\...) synced locally as My Documents. since the widget doesnt recognize shortcut links i have no way to access my home directory. concerning printing notes (previous message), i'll try to see if it's possible to create a new flagged environment like in latex... do i just use ERT or is there an nicer way to do it? mamato
Re: lyx on windows (and printing notes)

No it doesn't. I regularly install at
J:\Program Files\LyX
without problems. Installing to
C:\Program Files
on WinXP certainly *does* require admin privileges.
i just tried again running
LyXWin136Complete-0-4.exehttp://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXWin136Complete-0-4.exeand
before anything else (ex specifying directory), it says that i need
administrator privileges.

Not our problsm then...
fair, i'll go complain to python list ;)
i'll try to install miktex and gs tomorrow. once i've installed
them, i can simply add the directories in the preferences and
reconfigure?
What directories?
i guess my question was: if i add the latex and yap bin directories to the
PATH option in the preferences and reconfigure, will i then be able to
view dvi and export pdf (i currently dont have these options since i said
do not install because i wasn't able to install them at the time).
i guess i'll try and see and reinstall lyx if necessary.
another annoying thing is the dialog boxes used by winlyx to
open/save files. it's old school drive:\dir and my work laptop has
that weird setup for network syncing where my home directory is a
network dir (\\server\...) synced locally as My Documents. since the
widget doesnt recognize shortcut links i have no way to access my
home directory.
shrugWe use whatever the Qt toolkit gives us here I'm
afraid.\shrug
You might try http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX137pre which fixes a
bunch of bugs in LyX 1.3.6. I've no idea whether that'd cure this
particular problem.
thx for the tip, i'll try it and complain to some qt mailing list if
appropriate ;)

I think that the best you can do is either to add stuff like:
ert\begin{comment}\ert
your note contents.
ert\end{comment}\ert
to your LyX document, or to derive a new document class from
article.layout and to add a Comment environment that wraps your note
with the latex magic.
nice, i'll look into deriving my own layout when i get a chance

i guess my question was: if i add the latex and yap bin directories to the
PATH option in the preferences and "reconfigure", will i then be able to
view dvi and export pdf (i currently dont have these options since i said
"do not install" because i wasn't able to install them at the time).
i guess i'll try and see and reinstall lyx if necessary.

printing with notes
notes seem like a nice feature but can you print them? mamato
pasting quotes?
hi again,
copy/paste text with single quotes (') from outside (windows) doesn't work
for me :(
