Hi. Thanks for the quick reply, and I'll try the answer to the first question. my second question was: > > it works well enough (pretty stream-lined, maybe too much, > > if you ask me) but when i emphasise a passage, nothing happens when i > > export or view. no italics, or bold, or whatever. > > How do you emphasize and to what format do you export?
hree's the output from version: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lyx -version LyX 1.3.2 of Tue, May 6 2003 Built on Jun 5 2003, 11:55:33 Configuration Host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: C Compiler: gcc C Compiler flags: -g -O2 C++ Compiler: g++ (3.3) C++ Compiler flags: -fno-exceptions -O2 -Wall -g Linker flags: Frontend: qt Qt version: 3.1.1 LyX binary dir: /usr/bin LyX files dir: /usr/share/lyx [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ and i guess i emphasise by pressing ctrl e, or clicking that little exclamation point. i output to either pdf (using pdflatex) or dvi. but either way, the text is not emphasized (either itaclics or bold, or anything). thanks again for the great help you all provide here. bcr
