Frederick,

(Please bottom-post when using the lists.) I don't use multiple 
languages myself, so I can only speculate. The first thing I would try 
would be to select all the text (ctrl-A with the CUI key bindings) and 
then click the text style tool bar button and change the "Language:" 
field to either the language I wanted or "Reset".


Cheers,
Paul

You seem to have a mix of "English" and "English (UK)" (or
"British") in the tables, and switching to British triggers the
error message. The version I've attached, in which I switched it
all to "English (UK)" (which matches the document language
setting), compiles for me. I don't know why the language switching
runs afoul of paragraph breaks inside table cells.

HTH,

Re: problem with table and figure caption, and bibliography

2010/4/10 mara.44 mara...@gmail.com:

 hi,

 i'm writing my master thesis using lyx and i have a small problems

 i already found how to change table name to polish tablica, but what i still
 don't know is how to change fontsize of caption. e.g. i have a table with
 caption:

 Table 2.1 bla bla

 The only thing i can change is the size of the bla bla part of caption,
 while Table 2.1 stays in default size.


Changing size of whole captions should be done by passing option
small into package caption, like: \usepackage[small]{caption}

But I do not know currently how to properly call it from LyX - passing
as global document option is not safe, as this name is common for most
packages.

After a closer look at the class, I believe that this is intentional:

Problem with table

[Matthias Bußjäger]

Hello,

I have a problem to build a table with different rows in the columns.
For Example:
I have 4 rows and 2 columns.
How is it possible to merge the 4 rows in the first column? Or something
else to get the text in the first column centered vertically? The rows in
the second column should be untouched and with lines because I need the
partitioning there.

The only way I know to manage this problem works with an odd number of rows:
For example if I have 3 rows, I just write in the second row and delete the
lines over and below it. So the text in the first column is centered
vertically. Of course this doesn't work with an even number of rows :(

Any hints to solve this problem? (I bet that it's simple, but I don't
understand :) )

I have a problem to build a table with different rows in the columns.
For Example:
I have 4 rows and 2 columns.
How is it possible to merge the 4 rows in the first column? Or  
something
else to get the text in the first column centered vertically? The  
rows in
the second column should be untouched and with lines because I need  
the

partitioning there.

The only way I know to manage this problem works with an odd number  
of rows:
For example if I have 3 rows, I just write in the second row and  
delete the

lines over and below it. So the text in the first column is centered
vertically. Of course this doesn't work with an even number of rows :(

Any hints to solve this problem? (I bet that it's simple, but I don't
understand :) )


I suggest that you read the user manual.  Specifically, the Embedded  
Objects manual, which describes how to do what you are asking.

I think the answer is that you should use longtable. See the Embedded 
Objects manual for info.


Yes, longtable is the only sane way to have a table split over two (or 
more) pages. One can make two tables instead, but the problem with that 
is that it is hard to change the split when editing the document. A 
longtable adjusts automatically.


Alternatively, if the table fits on a page but the page number gets
into it, put an ERT with \thispagestyle{empty} somewhere, so
the page will be unnumbered. But note that it won't look good in
a two-sided layout, as the table extends way below the bottom
margin of the facing page.

Problem with Table inserted in Lyx document with LaTex code

Hi,



I tried to insert the table as a Tex code. The table works fine but that 
table can't be cross-referred in the Lyx document.

Does anybody know a way out for this problem?

Problem with table layout

Hello, 

I have created a table with two columns, and inserted text.
A preview shows me, the text of the columns only in one line, so I don't see all

How can I use multiple lines in one column, or should I use linebreaks?

Right click the table and, in the pop-up dialog, set a fixed width for 
the column.  This is a LaTeX limitation, not a LyX issue.

problem with table of contents and document language.

[Jacobo Myerston]

I get some errors trying to view in dvi a document -article- in spanish.
If I change the language to english the problem disappears. The problem
happens after introducing a table of contents. The error appears before
the title of the article.
the error message is:


Improper alphabetic constant.


...NO VERTE JES\'US\char '\@umlaut {} }{3}





A one-character control sequence belongs after a ' mark.


 So I'm essentially inserting
\0 here.




I am using the final lyx-1.1.5
