You can try the seminar layout from the LyX ftp server, look under ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/seminar.tar.gz It was done for 1.1.6, but should work with 1.2.1. too. However, it has different names for the environments and a different approach, so be sure to read the template that comes with it and adapt your document... Please tell me about any problems or success... Guenter -- G.Milde at physik.tu-dresden.de Hello: I tried the layout available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/seminar.tar.gz. But it is not working properly in LyX 1.2.1. Then I tried the layout files given by Herbert Voss. These are attached below. This is my observation: 1. This layout works properly only if the page style is plain. 2. If you use hyperref, it does not work properly. Both the files attached should be copied into layout directory. I feel that seminar layout is still not stable on LyX and it is safer to directly use LaTeX to create documents using seminar, especially when you have portrait and landscape slides, page headers and footers, and hyperref. #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # \DeclareLaTeXClass{seminar} # Initial attemt at makeing a LyX layout file for the seminar class. # Author : Lars Gullik Bjønnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] # modified by Herbert Voss [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-07-30 Preamble \usepackage{fancybox} EndPreamble Sides 1 Columns 1 DefaultStyleStandard ClassOptions FontSize8|9|10|11|12|14|17 Other slidesec End # Input general definitions Input slide.inc Input stdclass.inc # There are no chapters in an article.

Seminar has not been ported to latex2e, so there are the few rough edges. There are also some bugs related to A4 and landscape or portrait, which I have not been able to pinpoint. Different versions of latex and dvips behave slightly differently. By all means, do read the documentation for seminar and apply the (numerous) bug fixes. However, none of these problems is a problem of LyX. And I still think that seminar is the style of choice for slides, because the concept is really superior to foiltex, for example.

Re: Seminar again - portrait output
Greatful thanks to Mr. Voss and Mr. Tsur for responses to my initial query. My initial error was easily fixed by telling lyx the desired orientation. I could not find a lyx approach to putting an "oval" box (rounded corners) around pages. My solution has been to create my own commands (in the prefix) and enter these througout the text in TeX mode. This is awkward and moves backwards -- tediously fussing with appearance. While it works, I want to pick the option from the drop-down environment menu. After semester end, I want to experiment with the seminar layout file. One option, if possible, is to associate specific latex commands with individual lyx environments. But I might want, say, some boxed and some unboxed pages. Associating latex sequences with the portrait slide seminar environment would result in a single option. I could create two or three portrait slide environments (no box, rounded box, square box), but this moves away from the disciplined and parsimonious approach now adopted. It is also messy. By manipulating the prefix, I can get global changes. This limits desired flexibility. Is there a layout file that can serve as a model? Am I thinking along the wrong lines altogether? (Quite possible. I've never worked with the layout files and am not familiar with the source code.)
