Dear All, I am attempting to write a paper in Lyx (v.1.0.4) using Revtex (not Revtex4, in compatibility mode) but I cannot get wide abstracts to work with two column format. I have put a complete example downloaded from APS' eprint server which compiles and renders correctly with Latex but will not import in Lyx, on ftp://www.mklab.rhbnc.ac.uk/pub/tom/eprint.zip. Import fails with, reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 1999/05/02 Reading LaTeX command syntax (stripe.tex: Splitting Preamble Creating LyX preamble Reading layout file Cleaning... Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/bin/../share/lyx/reLyX/Text/TeX.pm line 358, <TeXOpenFile0002> chunk 249.

Hacking the eprint example's Latex source to remove the \wideabs surrounding the title,pacs,abstract etc. will allow Lyx to import it but then of course I'm back with the narrow abstract or single columns. Any ideas? Thanks Tom Crane. -- Tom Crane, Dept. Physics, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham Hill, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, England.
