Hello Razvan, there are two possibilities of inserting equations in LyX:
1. inline-equations This is done by clicking on the equationsbutton on the LyX-toolbar (the one with the fraction "(a+b)/c" and writing LaTeX-Code into the red-blue frame which appears. You can select many signs from a menu, too. Therefor you need the "math-control-window" (or whatever its called in your language). This window you get from the menu (Insert -> math) or by rightclicking on the red-blue frame. 2. centered equations On the math-control-window there's another button, don't know how to describe, but it should be the one on the lower-left of the buttons on this window, with this it's possible to intert centered equations. Hope this helps - for further information the LyX-documentation (Help-> "any of the documents") is very useful. And to get started I think it's the best way to read the introducion and the tutorium. -Kai- Am Son, 2003-08-10 um 10.28 schrieb Razvan Racasanu: > Hello, > > I have started to use LyX (version 1.3.2) only a couple of weeks ago so > all this is still new to me. > > What I want to do is to write some mathematical equations in the middle > of some text.
