Thanks for all the help, I got it installed and working, but it's just too much of a pain.
I will have to spend money for software, I fear.
Well, LyX isn't for everyone - I happen to think it's the best thing since sliced bread, but if you want something more point-and-clicky, I'd suggest checking out Scribus before you splash out on an expensive DTP program. It doesn't have all the functionality of its commercial cousins, but it's getting there slowly. I'd still recommend persisting for a while with LyX, though - it kind of grows on you.
I`m quite happy with Lyx now, though I still have some problems. But what I write shall only become a thesis, I don`t want to sell it ;-)
Is there anything else than Framemaker (for Windows), which is a real alternative to Lyx (for Windows) for writing long documents in science? And as I understood, Framemaker cannot work with long footnotes (Lyx can continue them on the next page).
