Hello Liviu, because I haven’t the whole thread in my e-mail-client, I don’t know your primary question. But if you want to know, how to insert a LaTeX-Table exported from gnumeric in LyX, than have a look on the section »Tables using Gnumeric« in this webpage: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/CopyTablesFromSpreadsheets Actually it is easier to copy the whole table from your spread sheet program into a LyX table. Have a look at the wiki. Liviu Kind regards Marcus -- E-Mail: m.gloe...@gmx.de

Is there a facility to link (not merely copy but link) a spreadsheet to LyX. The exceltex package provides the desired functionality for LaTeX. The \inccell macro puts in the content of one cell, the \inctab macro puts in tabular content. I have been unable to find anything anywhere on the web or the LyX documentation. Thanks in advance.

Suppose I make a few more changes in the Wordstar file, is it possible to have those (editorial) changes automatically reflected in the corresponding Lyx file? Not in any straightforward way, no. I can think of complicated ways (re-import, diff and patch), but they'd still be fragile. rh

embedding or linking a sound file in a Powerdot PDF
Apologies if this is obvious, but is it possible to embed a sound file into a PDF when using PowerDot. In the Adobe world this is only available as part of Adobe Professional so I understand why it may not be possible. However, I am also struggling to work out how to link to an external sound file. regardless of whether the links will work in a PowerDot created PDF, the link options in Lyx (certainly through the menu) seem limited to specific file types. I much appreciate some pointers into how this might be done. Many thanks, Graham

lyx 1.4.0 linking problem (missing /usr/lib/libltdl.la)
On my Red Hat Linux 9.0 system, lyx 1.4.0 manages to compile, but not link (see below). The missing /usr/lib/libltdl.la file doesn't exist on my system. Any ideas on how to fix this are very welcome.

Lindows.com linking lyx.org
As I ve seen Lindows.com seems to try making money with LyX. Take a Look at www.lindows.com. As you can see the following link only points to a page whith a so called click and run offer. http://www.lindows.com/lindows_products_details.php?id=135 Download is offerred Free to Click-N-Run Warehouse Members Not a word about where or even how to get LyX. topic Specifications: Version 1.1.6fix4-2 To my point of view at least annoying. bye, Thomas
Re: Lindows.com linking lyx.org
Hi: Here's why you're annoyed. Someone from Lyx needs to open discussions with those folks about integrity, professional ethics, and common netizen conduct. In fact, every open source project on there needs to do the same. What's really exciting, though, is that every Lindows user will be using more and more Open Source. Terrific, I say. Where do the software titles found in the Click-N-Run Warehouse come from? Lindows.com simply provides the marketplace to house applications that others develop. Publishers place the software in our warehouse, decide how to describe the software program, what price to charge, and so on. (Visit http://publish.lindows.com for details on how you can publish software titles in the Click-N-Run Warehouse.) http://www.lindows.com/products_clicknrun_whatis.php Thanks, Tom Poe Reno, NV -- http://www.studioforrecording.org/ http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/ http://renotahoe.pm.org/ -- Hollywood's BPDG Group ?!?

Compilation (linking) troubles
I finally managed to get the LyX configure to work without complaints. Now I have troubles when compiling instead. There seems to be something wrong with the linking of libraries, because I get the following message (in the end of the compilation): (I'm trying to install lyx-1.2.0 with XForms 89) (...a lot of similar lines *cut*) ~/lyx-1.2.0cvs/src/frontends/xforms/form_maths_matrix.C:75: undefined reference to `fl_set_object_callback' ~/lyx-1.2.0cvs/src/frontends/xforms/form_maths_matrix.C:76: undefined reference to `fl_end_form' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [lyx] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/merlot/pg/pmxas/lyx-1.2.0cvs/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/merlot/pg/pmxas/lyx-1.2.0cvs/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/merlot/pg/pmxas/lyx-1.2.0cvs/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Does anybody recognise this error?
