hi paul. i sort of work around the problem following your suggestion. the new doc only works when all the citations removed. i need to go further to see if my .bib also conflict with new doc later on. thanks for now. best, jackie To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org From: ru...@msu.edu Subject: Re: dvi preview problem Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:54:29 -0500 j. w. wrote: hi paul, thanks for the tips. i tired following steps, but seems can't solve the issue. copy doc and took off the bibliography.copy doc and took off the bibliography, removed all the citations, note, footnote, margin note etc.tried bisection copy and paste to new file, and each section(with citation) can stand alone(be viewed) with no problem.tried to take away all the language potential conflict, just plain english. none of above attempt can bring it back to normal view. it would be easy if bibtex problem, when removed bibliography, no really any question marks came up. any other possible solution i can try? rds, jackie If you create a new doc and copy each section, one by one, to the new doc (leaving all previously copied sections in place), does the new doc always compile?

I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.
the error area is my name!
i checked LaTeX source, everything looks fine.
my name is keyed in with no fancy font or setting. plain plain standard environment. and it can be viewed dozen times before till now. i can't comprehend the problem. so, i turn to you for help... is there anyone can advise me where the actual problem is?
thanks,

Quick hack: If you're using a BibTeX blbliography, try making a copy of
the document and deleting the bibliography from the copy. If it
compiles (with lots of [?] references), the problem is probably in the
.bib file.
More time-consuming: Try a bisection search. Cut out the second half
of the document and try to compile. If the bug persists, restore the
second half and cut out half of the first half, ad nauseum.
