Using a custom style in Lyx1.6.5
Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to tex2lyx the file instructions.tex, which can be found here: http://www.acm.org/publications/latex_style/, but I'm having a hard time adding the files acmtrans2m.cls and acmtrans.bst to my Lyx installation folder. I'm using Lyx1.6.5 on Windows XP. I also have a MikTeX2.7 directory. So my question is: where to put the above mentioned .cls file? What about the .bst file? Can someone give me a short set of instructions I need to execute in order to make this work? Thanks in advance, Nick

You can keep the LaTeX documentclass files in the TEXPATH but for this to work you need a LyX layout file. This (and how to write one) is explained in the Customization manual (HelpCustomization). What about the .bst file? This should just work. Günter

And, unfortunately, this class does not seem to be based on any other
class. Still, the basic environments provided look a lot like
article.cls, so you could try copying article.layout to your local
layout directory, renaming it to acmtrans2m.layout, and then changing
the configuration line to read: \DeclareLaTeXClass{acmtrans2m}. That
might get you 95% of the way.
