RE: Multiple formatting questions with LyX 1.6.5 - book (Memoir)
Hi Günter, Yes, I use vertical space for paragraph separation. I tried your workaround, but Indent separation is ugly, and \usepackage{parskip} still does not remove the first vertical separation completely, so I reverted back to vertical space. I'll see the enuitem package for more control.

Dear Richard, First: thanks, your tricks with openany and setting the Biblio to \smaller (simply by changing Text style, I feel stupid) provoked a reduction of 10 pages out of 240 :) For the remaining open questions: | a) Changing cross-references links of subsubsection to a | nicer section: | Is there a command similar to the one for renaming figure | captions (see | below), in order to have for example subsections 3.4.3.2 | or section | 3.4.3.2 instead of subsubsections 3.4.3.2 ? | \renewcommand{\f...@figure}{fig.~\thefigure} | | | How are you getting the subsubsection... text? I just get | numbers for | references to subsubsections. I simply use the standard option Reference and the associated On Page On Page. The formatted reference and the Reference On Page On Page do not work, but we have been knowing that for weeks. I think that my problems comes from this preamble line, that I found somewhere in a FAQ some months ago: \AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1 | d) Capital letters for cross-reference links at beginning | of sentences: | When I make reference to a chapter at the beginning of a | sentence, the | cross-reference link is: | chapter 2 discusses blablabla, instead of having a | capital letter: | Chapter 2 discusses blablabla | Can I correct that? | | | Again, what are you using to get these cross-references? If I do a | formatted reference to a chapter, I always get caps. If | you're using | memoir's Cref command, etc, then see the memoir manual for what to do. See above. One more question I forgot to ask: How do you reduce the vertical space, in itemize and enumerate listings, between the first item and the preceeding paragraph? I tried the following preamble commands with success only between item lines: \let\oldenumerate=\enumerate \def\enumerate{\oldenumerate% \setlength{\itemsep}{-1pt}\setlength{\parsep}{-1pt}}% \let\olditemize=\itemize \def\itemize{\olditemize% \setlength{\itemsep}{-1pt} \setlength{\parsep}{-1pt}}% However, these commands generate an undefined controlled sequence upon compilation: \usepackage{setspace} \let\olditemize=\itemize \def\itemize{ \olditemize \setlength{\itemsep}{-0.0ex} \setstretch{0.8} } \let\oldenumerate=\enumerate \def\enumerate{ \oldenumerate \setlength{\itemsep}{-0.0ex} \setstretch{0.8} } Yannick
